It's crazy how a simple mirror filter can transform a video into something else.
Even though this is just a test it's a bummer I hit almost every red
light to really slow things down.
Shot with a GoPro Hero HD mounted to the front windshield of my car.
The black flickers are my windshield wipers clearing snow.
The mirror effect was added later with a filter in Vegas Movie Studio HD
Music: Diamond Messages - Liquid Summer
UPDATE - 5/22/2011 - I just made a new video using this filter. Check it out if you have a chance. vimeo.com/24084352

1:08 - love the light change to the beat of the music. Such a simple technique, but what great results.

Really nice. Would be interesting to see it rotated 90 degrees to make it even more abstract.

That's badass.

Absolutely incredible. I have a feeling some famous director is going to use this technique in the next few years.
Oh and by the way, in case you're wondering where all the views are coming from:

I liked the stops at the red lights!
blakophoto (18 months ago | reply)
Amazing. It'd be really cool if you could (in post-processing, of course), make the camera bump like that with the slow beat

Love it when you turn under the overpass.. feels like everything got flipped and you're heading up an elevator...

The whole video is really sweet, but the last 30 seconds are absolutely insane! Looks like a whole different world, feels very neopunk.

This is one of the most beautiful things i've seen in a while.

You should continue it for the full song. It feels cut off. Amazing work.
