Eh... I thought I was the only J.Johnson fan in Malaysia... this is the first time I see Malaysians blogging about this...

that's one kewl video!

K.L. Ang: heheheh here's another fan too :D

KL Ang : i know at least seven other ppl in msia that are into him, excluding BawangMerah, so among us thats ten!

thisguy : how on earth do you think they do backward video with correct lip synching like that?

no idea- two possible ways :
one they play the music backwards and record him lip synching to the backwards words

or they digitally swap his lips ?

the more ingenius thing to consider is- how did they pull off everything in (apparently) ONE single take?

i watched the making of radiohead's video - the one where he's drowning in a space suit helmet? and the secret behind that was they played the music sped up and he sang the song in sped up mode and then it appears as if he's underwater longer than he actually is when they play the video in slow mode.

Well, if it counts, I'm a HUGE Johnson fan =)

This is totally irrelevant, but Radiohead has some of the coolest vids ever. Like the one for 'Just', with the man just (pardon the pun) lying on the sidewalk. I never knew what he said at the end of that one; does it have some sort of philosophical significance, or is the band merely trying to be weird?

looks like Jack Johnson better plan a tour here :)

priya : sounds just weird...(pun intended!! hehe)

I checked his tour dates, most of them are in Australia, Japan, Europe and the US. Doubt I'd be going anywhere there soon :(

I guess they must have taken two takes of the video. The first one is taken then reversed. Then the second is the him moving according to the reversed movement, so that they could cut his lip movement and paste on his reversed self. *Note i made this up*

Coldplay's 'The scientist' video has a similar effect.
