Weird speed tricks in videos (You're Ever So Inviting - UnderOath)



This video by Florida band UnderOath is a perfect example of weird use of speeds in videos. The main wide shot is done double speed. To achieve this UnderOath show in their documentary "777" that they played the song at half speed and then sped it up post production. This gives a really jolty effect but still has everyone playing in time to the song.

In contrast most of the individual band member shots are done the opposite way in slow motion to give a really weird overall effect, confusing the viewer. The constant changes between slow and fast motion really show the potential of music video to muck about with general film rules and restrictions.
