Forward Through Backwards Time

[OTSOL1]

Quand le temps quitte son envol, sur le sol il se pose.

Pas de repos des pieds pour ne pas tuer le temps.

Et si le temps était lié à notre mouvement!

Marcheur à la bonne heure pour préserver le temps.

[DeRealUno]

[VetaeirYeln]

The illusion is quite good. There are a few things that give it away, though; the condensation from her breath moves backwards, and her gait is somewhat off (or rather, how it looks when you're walking backwards). Great video, though.

[SSSIXXXED]

:D

[vmp916]

I bet they played off the people, pigeons, and fogs to walk in reverse... Well played.

[samticket]

Verry good job!!!

[YourProfessor]

Words cannot describe how deeply HOMOSEXUAL THIS FUCKING FILM IS.

[PBDPBD]

@YourProfessor I know! it's awesome!

[johnkrois]

@YourProfessor because of the penises?

[rolfeijg2]

Amazing.

[Razorokc]

I liked this , bet it was hard to walk that normal looking backwards, dont understand the escelator either, however its spelt.

[rolfeijg2]

@Razorokc She is just standing backwards on an escelator which is going down. Reverse it, and it looks like she is going face-first up.

[Barks321]

I love how some of the first comments are like: "How did you made all those people walk backwards?" and "You must have had a large budget to make it"

[TheGirlsRule22]

boooooringgggg..

[muzikizlife159]

Woah.

[TadhgKelly123]

lolthe broke the space time continuim cuz they were there when chuck norris and captain falcon were fighting thumbs up :D

[skaterizzel]

1:04 ITS EMINEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shakeycamerafilms]

now do backwards through forwards time

[bodellafella2]

This has to be my favourite short film ever!

[HoverSk8er]

Epic!

[DJXeroBeat]

This is so positively awesome/trippy. This video is insane. I cant believe I havent seen somebody do this before. Bravo.

[jasonbautista]

That is so cool. Haha

[MrPink2011]

ace i did one but i looked like a penguin lamo

[MrOverload47]

It's a beautiful City/state ...

[vithror]

Stupendo.....

[bloodshotriddims]

that chick really cute. I wish i could meet her!

[onewhobeasts]

she was walking backwards... you just reversed it. its cool though

[EARproduct1ons]

Very simple, but nice effect!

[SchussFilms]

cool!

[Pivot1king]

Let me guess, you walked backwards while everyone else was walking normal. It looks that way anyways, your walking looks kind of funny.

[360terminator]

yer thats wat it is

[Pivot1king]

Yeah.

[360terminator]

haha its so obvouse

[Pivot1king]

Seriously, Lol.

[Pivot1king]

I wouldn't walk across a street backwards though, lol.

[360terminator]

yer ud look like a dick

[Pivot1king]

Yeah, and you might get hit by a car. Lol.

[poolpoolpool8]

lol i never knew this was rocketboom till i was watching and looked at the author

[SpiritmanProductions]

cool

[orangepaints]

I loved this :D great work

[bry92an]

how do u make the video go backwards??

[PepederRote]

really nice!!!!!

[V2production]

Very good and funny idea

[22muniz22]

taht saw OSSSSSSS looc!!!!!

[Marko11111111111]

haha ur right she did

[Marko11111111111]

all she did was walk backwards like a werido around they city but how didnt people give her looks??

[MicroCompactSyst3m]

That black woman to the left at 01:33 gave her a look?

[booksandvideos]

Because it's New York. Crazy stuff is normally happens.

[soaper4]

She's really good at this. At one point, I thought she might have been in front of a greenscreen, with backwards footage put behind her later.

[MicroCompactSyst3m]

Why make it harder than it is?

[nicolexcarmen]

haha this was amazing!

[darkhero00]

Theres a music video like this one man singing, whats the name of the song? of that video with the man singing

[soaper4]

Aww, I know which one you're talking about, I've seen it before, but I can't remember it.

[darkhero00]

I remember now is incredible lol Well i serach and serach and finally find it its called come back to me from david cook

[tytheguy777]

[Frebojo]

[rhcphansoad]

Omg! Where'd you learn to break the spacetime continuum?! :o

[ROCKETBOOM]

In an alternate 1985!

[ChrisAkaMastermind]

@ROCKETBOOM back to the future fan, heh? xD

[jawa108]

looks HARD

[spudnik95]

song?

[snowwolfsabertooth]

nice

[LiPgLoSsGaLz]

thats amazingg (:

[0Year0Zero0]

Not that hard to figure out how they did it, but its cool she did a good job

[YahtzeePiece]

If anyone is still wondering how shes doing it, it isn't that complicated. In real life she is doing everything backwards already, so when they go to rewind the video she is doing everything forwards while everyone else is backwards. She did it very good though, considering it was believable.

[valkalin2]

OMGASH!!! HOW THE, i won't evan ask... u did a HEALL OVA JOB!!!

[ROCKETBOOM]

Great - thank you all for the feedback - we're glad you enjoyed the video! We have it on good authority that forward through backwards time is involved in the lost season finale :)

[ieatskotchtape]

thats really cool, good job!

[austoningle]

that was very clever i liked it

[soulfyrefly]

haha wicked!

[TheIndividualOne]

I really liked that

[sausagekiller]

Most Tripping

[stone412]

[kouj1]

[davomunroe]

Blew my mind!

[ben1996123]

[sk84alife]

[RedGorilla10]

in real life she's going backwards and everyone else is going forwards. people must have been lookin at her like, WTF!

[Killbotfactory]

he´s right

[SydneysHumour]

@RedGorilla10 hahahah would have been cool to have made it!!

[tijaralinks]

thas amazing... i like it .

[SumnerMurrayRedstone]

Brilliant. This did she how ask retards YouTube typical some see we did?

[Chzrm3]

We did?

[inthemoment5055]

whoa this is cool! how did you do this?

[firestorm123444]

thats a cool idea...

[artwel123]

how did you get all those people to walk backwards?

[hermengermen]

HAHAHA what a nub!!!!!

she is walking backwards while they all move forward!! idiot

[artwel123]

lol you're sharp

[ricesniper]

lol ur the nub.

[kinghoho2]

she the only one that was walking backwards then the films played from the ending to the begining , giving the effect !!!

[artwel123]

okay I understand that but theres no way she could get the squirral to jump backwards at the start

[kinghoho2]

artwel123 , lol she didnt the squirral jumped foward just lik the peple are all walking foward !! she the only one doing things back wards .

[notcolinwong]

i hope you're joking

[artwel123]

and I thought the coca cola adverts were magical

[crakhamster]

LMFAO this artwel guys the man =D

[sacredtrashcan]

wow, i love it. :)

[NorskeDivision]

WTF! How did you get everyone to work with you on this? This must have had a really big budget, its cool that the video kind of looks low quality, it gives a authentic feeling. Trippy!

[ggthree]

can anyone remember this brilliant guy who used to do all this forwards backwards videos in the 80's (used to be shown on some talk show send in portion). he was way better than anything thats popping up on you tube when i do the search. Please help. i really want my kids to see this guys work. (if you under 30 you probably never saw it

[Demetriouskaine]

haha that look sliek it must have been soo much fun to make! Props to you for having fun in life, and letting others enjoy it ^_^

[Simongf]

Cool and trippy

[Lattmyons]

THAT IS TRIPPY!

[yaronoooo]

good job

[twodaydude]

What video editing progran did you use???

[Gibs0nkid]

they are walking farwards the person is walking backwards then they re edited it with the slow/fast/reverse option on a max computer. or other backwards softwares =]

[iritegood]

Good job pointing out the obvious.

[orangie84]

!!emit emas eht ta sdrawkcab klaw ot enoyreve teg uoy did woH !!woc yloH

[danstangoe]

does walk like shes shat herself but it is cool

[holke79]

love it!

[sendmethemoney]

Very cool.

[Thatwierdo13]

Lol at 1:33 lady on left thinks "what an odd person"

[simonjohnsonbass]

Quality!

[xWhiteStripe1x]

i loved the escalator part.

[dmccoig]

Awesome as usual,

thanks Rocket BOOOM!

Dan

[kjay279]

impish video.. love it

[burchinator]

How many of these are we going to see? We did this shit when we were kids. Maximum points for unoriginality

[afruitypants]

__SPOILER ALERT__

The Lady is the only person moving backwards.

Cool Video. I really enjoyed it.

[RBExit]

No shit

[afruitypants]

__SPOILER ALERT__

The Lady is the only person moving backwards.

Cool Video. I really enjoyed it.

[ShonTolliverMusic]

HA, ITS COOL. BUT SHE walks like the creepy girl off The Ring

[shawnstruck]

THis was a refresing little dose of whimsy. I enjoyed it a lot.

I also loved the music that played throughout. Does anyone know the name of the peice, or where i can find it?

[toinnejohn8tytu]

its almost sublime, nice job

[TECHKLEC]

Anybody that has to jump rope in the middle of a walkway in Central Park needs to get a life.

[Ghorum]

Anybody who hates such an amazing piece of art clearly never had a life to begin with.

[junkbonds]

That's clearly Union Square. Stop pretending you're a new yorker.

[lukeabout]

I LOVE IT!

Very cool!

Thanks for creating and posting!

[spideyboy07]

nice u shoulda showed people puttin stuff back in the store

[nilufaraway]

great video ! but I know the trick! :)

LOL

[RareFootage]

Very very very neat. Beautiful.

[MediaUser]

should have done cooler stuff, like jumping from heights or throwing stuff then reversing it

[nomiSimple]

cool

[123Berivan123]

Interesting

[versarchi]

the importance of tags

[RDLoehrke]

Her gait is so weird. I find it kind of eerie watching this since her legs aren't moving quite right. Bipedal motion is pretty bizarre on a mechanical level.

[Frvescent]

what a great idea!!

[layneheiny]

Great job.

[etherpunk]

5 stars. Definitely the best video I've ever seen.

[pdbran]

5*****

[cptmx]

awesome! i love new york city, i'm studying there

[Aswarp]

Pretty cool!

¡Mola!

[Tanru2000]

LOVE IT!

[Drillsback]

I am amazed! It is very impressive anyone can do this kind of effect. I'm favoriting it and giving it a 5 star!

[Shnogenfogee]

fantastic

[KattinW]

impressive! i am in awe of a) the filming skills and b) of course, Joanne's talent at backwards-ness.

=)

[podcastbard]

cool video. did jonnie do everything backwards and you just played the video backwards?

[taiwanbrownshow]

wait... how did you do the elevator? lol.

[podcastbard]

there were two escalators.

[Buddhistpalm]

Wow, I am very impressed by Joanne's backwards talent.

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

nice, very nice

[miketheday]

[ROCKETBOOM]

BTW, if you are watching in high quality (it looks great!) be sure and click on the little "center" button at the bottom right of the YouTube player. This will add the letterboxing and thus force the video into the right aspect ratio, 16x9. - Andrew

[katieMCbindergarten]

this is great. i just posted a similar video as a response. if it's not up yet, check out "danny's ems video" on my channel. it's the same basic idea as this one.

[hjeremy2222]

Neato burrito

[n8tn808]

very well executed!

smiles all around!

[Treknologist]

2 videos in one day? How diligent.

[zven001]

The oldest trick in the book, but always great to watch.

[JohnNoZ35]

The jump rope was amazing. I have been watching Rocketboom for ages.

Keep it up!

[psychomelody]

This is my favorite Rocketboom short so far. Favorited.

[ROCKETBOOM]

Thanks! I think it's my faveorite music video of all time :D -Andrew

[bakaface]

thats must have been the coolst thing to see! someone just walking around backwords.

this is an awsome Vid!

[Digipatd]

That must've been really hard to do.

[DStyle86]
