Video Concept 3

Backwards Action 
All or portions of the video are done in reverse. Usually, although not always, makes use of how strange setting things on fire, getting really dirty, or smashing your guitar look when played backwards. Sometimes the singer will lip synch backwards, still others try to mime playing their instruments backwards as well, which looks totally wrong more often than not.

• Mute Math, "Typical"
• Jack Johnson, "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing"
• The Matches, "Chain Me Free"
• Remy Zero, "Save Me" (yes, the Smallville theme song)
• Coldplay, "The Scientist"
• The ending of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Amish Paradise"
• Nine Inch Nails, "Deep"
• Enigma, "Return to Innocence"
• Linkin Park, "Bleed It Out"
• Embrace, "Ashes"
• Elio e le Storie Tese, "Mio cuggino". They even acknowledge this in the beginning of the video, by saying it was filmed in "IndietroScope" (indietro means "backwards" in Italian). It is also lip-synched backwards.
• God Lives Underwater, "From Your Mouth". The entire video consists of reversed footage of one man eating.
• The Pharcyde, "Drop". The group performs the entire song backwards, and shows what getting 100 gallons of water dumped on you looks like in reverse.
• David Cook, "Come Back To Me"
• Cibo Matto, "Sugar Water" runs backwards AND forwards on opposite sides of the screen and briefly joins up in the middle. One side is flipped so it take a while to work out what's happening.
