Help me find something on youtube :(

A.N.Other · 4 Apr 2009 at 23:31

I'm trying to show someone something I saw on youtube a while ago - I believe it was posted on here. However, I have no idea what it was called, which makes finding it kind of tricky.

It was a clip with nothing but broken up scrolling text. It played forward with one voice over and then reversed to a different voice over. If I remember correctly it won an award recently :confused:

Any help appreciated

What?

How vague is that

Do you mean that one where a girl reads out the text running down the screen. Then from the bottom, it goes upward and she reads it out again and an opposite meaning is conveyed.

Yes, exactly that.

I know what you mean. It's that poem thingy that was played at Veterans day or something wasn't it?

Thanks

For some reason I thought it was about climate change, so I was putting all the wrong things into searching for it.

It's very clever, if anyone hasn't seen it

// EDIT // and watching it, it sort of was. Nevermind.

Oh that! Now I get you.

Ugh, I thought it was going to be clever.

It's cheating, there is no rhyme or reason to which bits she reads "backwards" half of it is forwards.

"lil poem"
Easy peasy.

True. The structure is very basic yet effectice. i thought to myself HOW CLEVER when i first saw this. But jsut now when i watched it. I noticed that you could change all the wording and as long as they 'layout' / style was kept the same it would be quite easy to do.

I, too, thought it would be a little more clever than that, i.e. word for word backwards

Nix · 5 Apr 2009 at 16:32

Haha, I don't think anyone is praising it for brilliance, more the unexpected poignancy it makes. I think the fact that is was so simple, others are wondering why they hadn't done it themselves.

very clever
