flaneur video

This is a clip from a video based on the concept of the Flaneur as conceived by Charles Baudelaire.

"For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and flow, the bustle, the fleeting and the infinite."

"obvious fake" !?! of course not! the director instructed a legion of people to walk backward as the central figure walked forward. quite an accomplishment, i must say.

[wenarto]

it took me a while but this is cool...yes, the guy walked backward and you reverse the video :-)

The stairs part near the end is very good. The art of walking backwards at that point is that he make it look effortless, like an experienced dancer or mime.

I thought the guy was walking backwards also... but look closely when he stepped down the stairs.

This is an obvious fake - that guy is actually walking backwards and then they just reversed the film.
