Forwards/Reverse

This is an effect from our stage show, entitled Forwards/Reverse.

Apologies for the sound quality, it was filmed in our kitchen.

Love it! I'd like to see it without the video effects as well though - at first I genuinely thought that it was camera trickery!

Love

I've said this before, but this is still one of my favourite routines. It looks even better in a live setting.

Bravo!

Aye. Definitely a highlight of the last show!

If the spectator doesn't engage in the effect,
then the only thing left is the method.

Thanks very much guys!

The camera colouring was done to reflect the lighting in the show, which was yellow and blue depending on which way time was running (an effect we couldn't recreate in our kitchen).

Someone asked us if the colours were meant to deliberately emulate the time vortex in Dr Who. In case anyone was wondering, the answer no. Not even we are that geeky.

Like others have posted, would like to see this as presented live. Do you have an undoctored version available?

It literally is exactly the same, but without the blue and yellow filter. There is no camera trickery, just false colour to represent the lighting we use on stage.

OK, didn't realise you performed it with the backing tape (the Prince of Persia type sound effect and the reverse-reverbish music). Gotcha :)

I thought maybe live it wouldn't mess with my mind so much :wink:
