camera man: sorry bro I only got like 30 seconds of footage

producer: I got this

[YinsDarkNess]

This is literally how an anxiety attack feels. You're disorientated, your mind is lying to you and telling you that the situation you're in is full blown apocalyptic. You find yourself needing space but there isn't any, you can't breathe. Everything feels repetitive at 100 miles an hour and it all filters into feeling overwhelmed, exactly how this video feels watching it.

[ColinPatrickWeiss]

as a professional editor this edit earned my respect....also gave me a nervous breakdown.

[Terjay]

"We only shot a minute of footage and we need a 4 minute music video."

[peterpan]

try to blink with every beat, makes it even more mindblowing

[peacockcentre]

For those wondering, the vocal sample that Bonobo used came from R&B singer "Brandy", the song is called "Baby".

[Sektion]

2016 is such a great year for trippy sci-fi music videos & electronic music.

Current List Of Weird Stuff

0:00 Falling Star? Meteor? - Top left of the sky shot.
1:05 Floating rocks left of the footpath
1:10 Whats the old guy on the bench doing?
1:50 Building on the left is levitating and turning
2:03 (Obvious) But the wall dents without reason
2:16 The guy in the shop at the counter (standing) has weird white eyes
2:27 The TV is playing a flipped video of what is about to happen on loop
2:41 The guy in the background puts his hands up and leaves a static duplicate
2:54 (Pause it) The sign with the chicken on it, next to it has a block of flats with what appears to be fire coming out
3:01 Seems weird to me, they're doing something like they've already been pushed but they're not touched.
3:05 The Volkswagen Golf gradually changes color via pulsing
3:05 Same shot, there is a man leviatating above the houses on the left, looks like he's jumping
3:15 The block of flats (identical to the flats on the sign at 2:54) are smoking
3:20 The fire from the sign at 2:54 bursts out the building
3:25 I assume she's now ontop of that block of flats, yet there is no smoke or fire
3:28 Solar eclipse
3:48 Looks like faceless people looking up from the car park, all in formation - some look duplicated
3:58 The birds mean something?

The outro also is very odd against the rest of the song?

Let me know If I missed anything - noticing something new each time, I'm almost sure there's at least one odd thing in each 'loop'.

Great song, great video.

[mider-spanman]

I can't even begin to tell you how much this song makes me feel. It gives me anxiety, it makes me long for the past, it makes me feel nostalgic, and it makes me think about people long gone, or how long I have with people I love. This is a special song and I always come back to it just to feel... something.

[flotatoes]

there are so many weird and hidden things, here's what i noticed:
1. 0:02 a comet
2. 1:09 floating rock in background
3. 1:49 brick building is turning
4. 2:02 dent appears in gate
5. 2:27 the video playing from the tv occurs is from a later part of the video ( 2:51 ), but it is from a different angle
6. 2:21 the building from 1:49 disappeared
7. 2:42 guy with red shoes froze frame and created a clone of himself
8. 2:54 pause here. remember the video playing on the tv from #5? it appears that the footage from that tv was recorded by the guy in the background with his phone, thus the different angle.
9. 3:07 super weird thing. guy floating in the air above the houses.
10. 3:21 the tower is ablaze
11. 3:50 ok, i cant really tell you exactly but im guessing these are either people or land mines
12. 3:58 a lot of birds or maybe bats appear and fly away

[arunmnair]

This dude single handedly fooled a whole state.

[siddharth]

I am from Kerala, and had expected to see my home in this video, but instead got surprised by a trippy experience that completely fucked my mind

[blackox]

Bonobo is so unique. What a sound.
Also love other trip hop related acts like
Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, DJ Krush, Unkle, Allflaws

[SandroTavartkiladze]

This describes pretty well the panic attack that I had last year, you feel that you no more can't control yourself and don't feel anything, you have fear that you might die and this fear drives you numb, I remember now that I couldn't feel the time flow and everything was looping over million times. And by the way I was in the street when this happened. So much relived to see that I'm not the only one who felt this way.

[anjuayirp]

I came here thinking it's about Kerala, a beautiful place in India.

[Toshirozawa]

Love how that VW Golf MKIV at 03:02 goes through a colour spectrum with each repeat. Sick video.

[bhavikasicka]

This video is a powerful comment on anxiety and paranoia. This woman appears to be suffering an episode or attack of paranoia, and at 2:35, she points to the sky. People frown at her and treat her as though she's crazy, patronizingly. But at 3:10, we can see a person levitating over or leaping onto a terrace at the building in the backdrop. This video is a good reminder that we should never judge people with schizophrenia, social anxiety, or other mental health issues, because although we cannot understand their realities, their realities of the world may be valid, just as valid as ours. Never belittle someone or deny their version of reality. Everyone experiences the world differently.

[JakkMyMan]

When the teacher says the video has to be 4 minutes long and all you got is half of that so ya gotta improvise with editing
