A trailer of the film, Tokyo Reverse, follows a man as he walks through the streets of Japan's capital, but with a twist: Ludovic Zuili, 28, is walking backwards for the entire programme, the newspaper Le Monde reports. The concept has been called Slow TV and has already been hailed as a "small revolution" for French viewers. The film, to be aired by France 4 on 31 March, is shown back to front so Zuili seems to be walking normally through a world moving back in time. To make his movements seem natural, he took dance classes, Le Monde journalist Veronique Lorelle says on her blog.

France what the fuck?
For those wondering, "slow TV" is a concept that originally appeared on Norway's public TV channel NRK [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7VYVjR_nwE[/url] They also aired a 7 day long ferry trip, non stop. It was condensed into 5 minutes here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yra8xYOcY3E[/media]

L'ART! (seriously this is kinda stupid)
[QUOTE=Sableye;44415649]L'ART! (seriously this is kinda stupid)[/QUOTE] I'd say it's much less pretentious than something like displaying a urinal or a blank canvas though. There was a decent amount of effort put in to create a unique effect.
i usually use my tv as background noise anyways. this would be a nice replacement for bad sitcoms.
This: [video=youtube;8PJor-sWzhM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PJor-sWzhM[/video] For 9 hours.
Christ, it's really well done and I keep trying to wrap my head around the fact he's the one walking weirdly but I'm having a lot of trouble doing it.
[QUOTE=Sableye;44415649]L'ART! (seriously this is kinda stupid)[/QUOTE] it's not about art, it's just the tv show equivalent of ambient music
It looks really pretty and well-made, tell you the truth.
this is crazy cool.
I'd love to learn to walk like that. If anyone can find a video from them, or someone else explaining this please share it with me.
interesting
I'd watch it twice, once in reverse so I can see how it was actually going.
[QUOTE=Sableye;44415649]L'ART! (seriously this is kinda stupid)[/QUOTE] ok
That looks awesome and creepy
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;44417110]It's just not a ferry, Hurtigruten is like one of the main symbols of norway right alongside Grandiosa and cheese cutter :v: They've also done something similar with the national ferryway recently, it was fun[/QUOTE] a ship is one of norway's national icons? i'm pretty sure norway can do better than that. they have the world's last remaining whale meat industry!

Can some one reverse the veimo video? I want to see what he was actually doing.

Strange to see someone not do this for Christmas [video=youtube;e61uC-5s9VU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e61uC-5s9VU[/video]
Stuff like this is what TV should be. [editline]1st April 2014[/editline] True Detective kinda was the Slow-TV equivalent of crime series.
This is completely awesome. I hope somebody uploads this. I'd totally use it as a background video when I'm doing other things.
This would be a good filler for the small hours of the morning. A lot of TV channels just shut down unless they're showing informercials or educational shows, so having something relaxing but also interesting for people with insomnia or jet lag would be really nice.

It is more than one ferry mind you, 11 to be precise.

What I would give to ride from Bergen to Kirkenes with a good camera and a few 64 gb memory cards.
this is super disorienting to watch
