Mute Math - Typical

[Bart Elliott]

Here's a great music video! Very creative ... not to mention difficult to pull off!!!

Wow.  I'd sure like to know how they pulled that off!  I'm having flashbacks of "backwards masking" records in the 70's... 

[Matt Self (Gaddabout)]

Whoa. If it hadn't been so low budget (done that way on purpose), I would've had some explanations. But there was only one scene where I saw there could've been a cut. The rest of it looks like a one-shot.

Consider me impressed.

[Louis Russell]

Consider me impressed.

Me too!  I watched it twice and that is a lot more than I view most of the youtubes.

[Mister Acrolite]

WOW.

:o

In addition to that being a mind-boggling video, that's some GREAT rock drumming. Coolest thing I've seen in ages!

That is pretty cool. But it immedietely reminded me of this Jack Johnson video....let the backwards video contest commence!!

Playing a Tom Tom in place of the Snare? That's just wrong!  ;)

It's nice, but I like the Mute Math video better.

I remember seeing something like these years ago in Weird Al's "Amish Paradise" video.  Perhaps Bermuda could chime in with any info on how they pull this stuff off?

Well, through looking around further, I found this backwards(forwards?) version of the same Jack Johnson video above. It looks like they just have to map it out carefully, film it and then play it backwards. I'm sure there is more to it but that's what it looks like to me. Of course, it has to be real hard to lip sync a song backwards to make it look forwards. I would have hated to do this in more than one take, that's a whole lot of clean up to do.

They should really stop doing things like this.  I believe there's a chance that they're seriously disrupting the time/space continuum.  I mean, look at the mess we're in.

Obviously they've never read Ray Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder. Thankfully, I see no butterflies.

I think if you were to look underneath your right foot...

very cool video,

then again, i'm a sucker for most anything backwards.  ;)

course, NO video will ever capture their live performances.  NONE.
