Intervention - noitnevretnI

You really have to watch this new movie by Overman:


What he calls 'An experiment of music and story' is more than just an experiment. It's a surprising movie and it introduces a new and intereting concept to show us how 'time' could used creatively in a movie. It reminds me a bit on his movie Reveal just this time using 'time' instead of 'space' to reveal and unfold the story.
The music for this film is so well crafted and performed and worth listening for it's own sake. I enjoy to see directors using machinima for experimenting with all aspects of the filmmaking. This opens new doors for all of us, extending our range of expression in movies. I don't want to go as far as to say this will become a new trend, but who knows.
After watching the film you should watch the 'reverse' one as well to see how marvelous this film was laid out in both story and music:
Noitnevretni
Now you can try experimenting on your own. How about adding the two parts together and stitch an endless loop. Or maybe add a twist and build a Moebius strip. Open a door for us and make your own movie. Liberty City is a great place to start and explore filmmaking.
