That's really rather odd, very trippy! What did you use to do make the video and what kind of bizarre overexposure effect is that?!

[GordonCharlton]

I used Quicktime Pro for this. It was made by taking a piece of footage shorter than the audio and pasting it in using "add to selection and scale" to stretch it to fit the audio. Then I removed a piece from the middle of the footage and pasted a second copy on top the same way and set the transparency to 50%, then did the same again a third time (transparency 33%). Finally I adjusted brightness and contrast. My other videos - Mensch (both) Amber Eels, Craken and FUA use similar techniques.

Wow! Really strange. Reminds me of a dream I had once.
