Oxford Circus

[HeadChestOrFoot]

Its like a dream, the way you're walking, everything. Amazing.

[TheSilverDubber]

Brilliant video, beautifully executed!!

Bravo sir!!

[melloman80]

such a great video been imitated a lot but not bettered imho!

[joshualewis71]

i wish i was around london in the 80s and 90s, id like to have seen how it has changed

[madguto]

wicked!

[matrags]

Very late 90s. I like it.

[tubemech]

Nice - must have been pretty stressful - its like fucking babylon up there these days however!!

[mapletusk420]

At 3:50 some ass hole flips off the camera. Way to ruin art, pal.

[joshualewis71]

haha this is weird but awesome

[hamflakes]

House! Lol!

[mapletusk420]

No, not House. House is a TV show. This is Massive Attack. A good band, you should check em' out

[SaltWaterHippo]

Trip hop <3

[frozenstrawbs]

ahhhhhhh thats sickening for some reason. good stuff

[flipingirld]

[goouttothemeadow]

This is so simple yet so effective. Fantastic video!

[rasclaatuk]

I really really like this, well done. Nice subtle use of colour as well.

[guguigugu]

Good one, really nice!

[roberkant]

i loved the video and song. I bet loads of people must have been so pissed off with you guys, oxford street is not a friendly street to walk frontwards, let alone backwards! hahahah, they dont like it when you bump on them. 5 stars

[tnnntnnn]

he goes straight, the bus goes straight, how did you manage to get all these people walk backwards without any falling or accidents? the whole thing is one long shot?....

[chadchap]

Yes! I have tried to explain many similair things but they are refuted with the look of bewilderment and the "knowing" look.

[LowleyUK]

i hope people see this in 200 years. beautiful

[TOUGEDORI]

very cool video!keep m coming.

[shanerie]

Nice.

[ambrosyaa]

Beautiful.

[schnaaab]

that is really cool

[unmundodeagua]

"espectaculo" de IVAN FERREIRO es practicamente igual

[stechan1092]

thats so artistic!

[sinfares]

This is so strange! Really cool, great idea.

[shanog1987]

Omg, you're a genius. i cannot allow you to waste your powerful mind here. you should use it on better causes. Go forth, and enlighten others!!!!!

[brasscoe76]

Awesome!

[Pamultimate]

Bloody brilliant, though the crowds I'll have to endure next weekend when I hit Oxford St for xmas shopping arrgh!.

[jksfanunplugged]

WOW that was pretty awesomee! how the heck did u do that without falling?

[DIRECTORwizard]

wow. it must have been hard to walk backwards. i just don't understand why some people didn't comprehend it. duh

[harrynicholas]

This was done with an invisible guide dog wasn't it? Come clean now.

Have you seen the one of the guy who walk in-between every hand-holding couple? Even when the streets practically empty.

[clarissita37]

fucking sick vid, man..

[ralphwiggum76]

you walked backwards that whole wy... thats awesome

[wannaseetheworld]

Wow. This took me about 5 minutes to actually figure out how you were doing it. But wow.

[tnnntnnn]

i wonder how they shot this... top music btw

[amizpinkfaerie]

Were you walking particularly slowly? Becuase i have to actually walk this soon and it would be great to know how long it takes =)

[strettcch]

Brilliant.

[dcdevil151]

that was strange

[michaeljackson48]

this song reminds me of michael jackson....true!

[cheshirespider]

This is great!! Had you not being filmed people would have probably made nasty comments about you being a madman, which I think says a lot about arts lpace in society. Rather the strange things we can get away with in the name of art!! :)

[madpixiaeb]

wow! very cool, love the music excellent choice, captivating, this could have really worked as the music vid.

[jayswood777]

amazing video

[CirrusMinor12]

This is AMAZING, and I love the song! Reminds me of Hugh Laurie...Thanks for this :).

[cheshirespider]

Sorry for asking, how does it remind you of Hugh Laurie (genius man), mwah, I must know!! :)

[CirrusMinor12]

He's quite beautiful, yes. This song is used as the title theme to his TV show "House M.D."...

[cheshirespider]

Oooh, I should know that having watched it. Mwah, now I know... thanks!! :)

[CirrusMinor12]

my pleasure :)

[CirrusMinor12]

This is AMAZING, and I love the song! Reminds me of Hugh Laurie...Thanks for this :).

[Raizor1983]

one word=Wow!..Truly hypnotic

[beddykatp]

pretty good!

[TheEvilPadawan]

Brilliant!

[sk8enhen90]

dude, the soundtrack holds it together. the whole thing is excellent.

[madbob73]

Awesome work. If only you didn't have the soundtrack this would be a cert to get featured!

[stealerofthesoulkat]

wow this is sooo freaking awesome!!

great job!!

[hayaled]

wow its superb

[DancingDaughter]

wow.

that's incredibly cool.

[synthetronic]

It's weirdly beautiful. I think this may be one of those things that will keep me stabilized when I am in a certain kind of mood. Thank you.

[melloman80]

is that true? is that why you did it?

[Jaykiss7]

hehe the buses going backwards thats so weird rofl!

[phunkmastergeneral]

This is amazing - really well done, a stroke of genius

[silent1983]

Great job. It's a 5.

[starfoxx]

<333

[Darryld1]

I believe there's a law in England about walking backwards down Oxford street and about driving sheep over London Bridge. You've done one, now what about the other?

[cybernetic6]

Grossartig, wie hast Du es geschafft über 5 min rückwärts über die Oxford Street zu laufen? Wonderful idea, brilliant effect. Very atmospheric. Worth applying in some short film festival ...

[warpedshark]

Best thing I've seen on youtube.

It's quite an achievement to walk backwards along Oxford Street. I'd have been pushed over in a heartbeat.

[theoblivion360]

Brilliant video, I love the effect!

[technoslurp]

That was brilliant. Couldn't take my eyes off it - the worry that it would all go wrong and someone impatient would jostle him kept the tension high. Like watching a dream. I'd have stayed for another 5 minutes at least, no problem!

[HQtv]

.tnemmoc reve tsrif ym ekam ot devom neeb evah! tnaillirB

[Gettingitout]

Absolutley love it!

To Artist317Inside below. The soundtrack is "Teardrop" by Massive Attack. Taken from their brilliant album "Mezzanine".

[Artist317Inside]

Thanks friend.

[Artist317Inside]

brilliant video..love the english

the soundtrack sticks to my skin...who is it?

I hear bits of Olivia Newton John in her voice.

Please ...who is it?

[BaggyTrousers]

Music is Teardrop by Massive Attack

[alfung]

Interesting film. The only flaw is the guy in there seem to be walking with no toes. Should involve the toes when walking backward to make it more realistic.

[SuburbanPony]

Bloody brilliant video!!!

Spellbinding!! Great job! I'm sure we will be seeing this copied in some big-blockbusters or music videos.

[mymateroo]

very very nice, hats off to you sir

[thepassanger]

oh sorry, i didnt know that the place was called oxford street, just found that out now. does john munro have anything to do with massive attack?

[thepassanger]

why is this titled oxford circus? i like massive attack, great song.

[Soapysag]

This is great, very clever!

[ahapahmet]

ı dont understand film editinf ıf use to revirse movie efeckt.

[bolso66]

wonderful!

[hipnotizE01]

i dont get it

[boneyelbow]

brilliant... pure class

[stevemcguinness]

Slick. Well done, genious.

[ICE420]

cool

[dazz333]

now turn around and do it all again!

[garethbanbury1]

its Massive Attack you doofus

[ameliepoulain1989]

um...maybe this is obvious...mais what's the message?

[henrybenry]

if you wind it backwards theres a secret visual message!

[fishcatdogbird]

That is sooooooo COOL!!! 10/10

[Christyx0]

Anyone know the lame arse faggot who stuck his finger up on 3:50. What a loser :)

[popmjpop]

cool vid, and even cooler song!

[bertietheboy]

thats awesom edude id never have the guts to walk down oxford street bakwards. good job!

[Natzgr33n]

well done...no one would have thought that!!! it doesnt matter anyway...its a really good effect! whats the music on this?

[skiingisgoodforyou]

well done. What triggered me on this was the shortness of this guys stride. It looks like he's taking baby steps.

[miki858]

it's a bit like the coldplay music video, where chris martin does the car crash in rev

[mirshovkat]

well,its only him walking backwards- done well , u can c the cars and buses also going in rev

[kubovo]

Awesome... (as well as the nsn`s question: How did he arrange for all these people to walk backwards?! ...well...god knows ;-) ...truly amazing...easy, but briliant idea!

[nsn100001]

Really great video

[nsn100001]

How did he arrange for all these people to walk backwards?!

[CKarp]

filmed backwards...he was the one walking backwards and being filmed

[Kadinkski]

no shit. genius.

[dreamEternal]

very cool, the music amazingly nice with this video, still hard to believe i watched a video of a man simply walking through london central like i've done countless times, knowing that's what the video would be about for 5 whole minutes....while i have an exam tommorow.

Talent, my friend, Talent.

[brianmit]

Superb. Who could have thought watching someone walk through London crowds could be so riveting. A simple concept wonderfully executed.

[muraraom]

that´s great, man!!!

[thesaraness]

yay its the theme song from "House" on fox!

[slapflap]

Great job. Great idea!

[Mayohalo5116]

That is just wierd. How did you get everyone to agree to walk backwards? interesting.

[brotherjoel74]

Very very cool indead props for walking backwards that far.

[isotopicdreams]

I like this video. It's encapsulating. The finger offender seemed strangly less annoying as though being sucked into a void of insignificance instead of bothering one all day. Great idea, very affective, I'm glad you did it. It's art.

[Totallykyle147]

Amazing Video, very cleveler. But as most things some one has to spoil it, neer the end when some dick sticks there middle finger up at the camera. but Appart from that, what an amazing idea!

[DanilloDeLanglada]

really nice man!!!

[joshthetree]

genius :)

[kizilmaske87]

really nice

[bURKINOfASA]

I saw this months ago and lost it. I couldn't find it since you don't have tags that identify it, like "walking backwards" or something. This vid is so simple but so profound. I love it but who doesn't? The music is great too!

[Lisanne1416]

this is very good, how did you make this?

[crex81]

very cool... i wouldn't try a stunt like that on Oxford Street, much too busy! Cool

[nigeb84]

really cool m8, dat must of taken ages to do!

[raffy2006]

This is a really good video. point.

[stephen1lynch]

Totally awesome, it`s always fun trying to navigate Oxford street, but this takes the biscuit.

[paulreeve]

The idea might not be original but in this case I think it has been perfectly executed. Comes over brilliantly with a great choice of music. Very well done !

[AbsoluteBoris]

hypnotizing Liked it!!

[K14RTY]

Nice work mate.

[fosterch]

nice

[RichardCartmell]

That is totally crazy! How do you get all those people to walk backwards in different directions or are they walking normally? I'm sure all the traffic is going backwards - not far from the truth in London! Wish quality could of been better so I could see faces including your's. All in all mind bending video with nice soundtrack wish quality was better.

[carlosirons]

QUE GUAPO!GIJON,ESPAÑA

[tuuber2u]

I suppose this has been done before, but I haven't seen it and certainly your video is more artistic and poignant. Nice.

[soundsonic84]

i agree with the last commet completly ; )

[orange1095]

this video is so very hypnotizing its so fresh as well...thankyou :D

[Domnz]

man i really like this... real cool =]

[ihaven]

I like when the guy gives the camera the finger because you see him get beat around by the crowd after (but technically before). That's one of the reasons why people should watch this video all the way through

[amadeusmaryam]

wow! this is interesting, it has an original point of view about the passing of ones life and other things... but why did you sent me this video? don't get me wrong, but... I'd like too know more...

[fwibble1979]

sweet, good video and well done

[67Marine67]

That was an AWESOME video...

[3moose]

A beautiful piece of music with an amazing and simple concept... but how difficult was that to put together?? All those people? Where did you find them and get them to do what you wanted... especially in town... well done - I love it.

[r3dhand]

NICEEEEEEEEEE..

[grizzlybjoern]

I DONT UNDERSTAND?!

[ProcyonAlpha]

Nice video, london and britain in general is way too overcrowded.

[breezebreezy]

Super!

[Samzun]

Bravo ! Excellent !

[OldVideoPro]

Well done. Tricky to shoot and perform. Did you have someone alongside the camera to guide your walker by signs?

[PistolC]

Quality

[nuevoproyecto]

¡Extraordinario!. Me ha encantado. Si lo rodaste en 1999, ¿por qué has tardado tando en darnos a conocer esta maravilla?.

[JohnMunro666]

Because YouTube wasn't born then! ;-)

[daniesza]

sweet

[ets567]

Oi! i was just there!

[liljadeybaby]

amazing

[Julespsych]

WOW...Excellent

[MulatuAstatke]

great job...

[nightq]

pretty fucking sick. mad props

[marmalized]

this song teardrop is like my FAVOURITE song ever. and the best massive attack. nice video-it really fits the music well- and thanx for the add

[greenlandband]

very cool...

[palouba]

nice

[Flare68]

30 minutes? Only takes me ten! Nice work.

[fandyboy]

Exceptional work! Like the video for The Scientist but "keeping it real" :P

[wizosollteich]

it makes me think.

it's very beautiful.

[daniicalii]

took me a minute to figure out how the camera was "going forward" if you were really going backward. :) awesome video...

[bijindesu]

music sounds like the one for matt's dancing around the world, and how did he do it? Awesome!

[Moonheartgirl]

It's the theme song from the Fox series "House" starring Hugh Laurie!

Your video rocks, mate! It is simply mesmerizing.

[Doggfish]

Very Nice!

[mellykiss]

I LOVE IT...AWESOME!!

[youknow45]

Reminds me of that Pharcyde video directed by Spike Jonze

Well done m8, Great work as a whole :)

[CheckDiddles]

Really nice film mate, it should be in a gallery. Also a very brave film as anyone who's walked down oxford street facing FORWARDS can attest to! Anyway, nice work.

[melloman80]

awesome - nice idea.

[ladypool]

loved this so impressive! any more?? many thanks

[danyell53]

compulsive viewing .. well done mate

[elliotthouston]

Amazing video, really liked it and the music was enjoyable. Saved to my favourites - thank you for it.

[DJV76]

Wicked Idea... Well Done!!

[monkeymule]

This is really cool. Awesome.

[CSR145]

"that is heavy"

[quantumreflex]

i THINK THIS IS AN AMAZING PIECE OF ART. I HAD TO WATCH IT TWICE. i FEEL LIKE MAKING A VIDEO JUST LIKE THAT!

[colindude]

That is brilliant! Its hard enough walking down Oxford street forwards, never mind backwards!! lol.. Nice one mate.

walking backwards down oxfo
