jamiroquai - virtual insanity

Nov 18, 2009 - and considering JayKay and any unlatched chair slides along the same direction, it'd be a rather sad usage of such computerized effect to not have the chair slide in one direction, while JayKay in another. at 1:19, you'll notice the right chair shifting a bit as they turned the walls to create the illusion that the couch is spinning in the room. also notice how jaykay never sits on any one of the chairs, couch excluded, indicating the likelihood of it being VERY light and breakable.

Nov 18, 2009 - .. in order to clean any sort of details caused by smudgy footprints or the likes on the floor (Jaykay's included), to make it look as clean and smooth as possible. rather than focus on every single individual smudge, i'm guessin' they "cleaned" the whole floor, which, combined with the intense lighting in that "room", may have confused those who paid extra attention to the shadows on the floor, looking rather computerized in appearance.

Nov 18, 2009 - either way, it is pretty interesting...no matter what the method was utilized to create such an illusion. A great vid, especially for that time!

Nov 21, 2009 - In a short making-of documentary, director Jonathan Glazer describes how the four walls move on a stationary grey floor with no detail, to give the illusion that the floor is moving. However, he does not state where the fourth wall is. In several shots, chairs or couches are fixed to the walls so that they appear to be standing still, when in fact they are moving.

trueangel95 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - In other shots chairs remain stationary on the floor, but the illusion is such that they appear to be moving. The moving walls were not completely rigid and can be seen in some shots to wiggle slightly.

Nov 23, 2009 - People, listen up.....I've watched a documentary on this....the floor is stationary....the walls are a giant upside down box on wheels, and like 20 people push this box around making it look like the floor was moving, when in fact its the walls that are moving. Some of the furniture is bolted to the walls so it moves in unison with the set. Other pieces of furniture are not bolted to anything so they stay in one place on the floor while the giant box is moved around it. Simple....

mickerau Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - i think the fourth wall is behind the camera and the camera is attached to the fourth wall? does that theory help?
