Nice video, when I was in High School, 7 or 8 years ago, I was in a TV/Video production ROP class (ROP was a great program)we did a video a lot like this. Same idea of how we got there and the whole shabang, only we did it in a much smaller group.

Shoots like this are great for learning composition of film/video. You HAVE to have your story boarding really well planned out. Timing is one thing that is pretty tough to get down correctly in story boarding, and doing a reverse-play (especially uncut)requires almost perfect timing. Using a song, though, gives you something to use as a reference for your timing. It’s obviously much easier going forward (the reference points are pretty easy), but going backwards requires, well, subtraction!

It’s worth watching the ‘real’ direction footage as well. That’s one amazing take.
