The cast then attempted to speak these 'backward' lines (which would sound pretty garbled.) Their attempts would be recorded and _then_ played backwards, which would sound like they were spoken forwards. Geddit? That's why they sound weird. This could also be taken to be the method by which the _movement_ was done ; the characters _walked_ backwards, and this action was _transmitted_ backwards, which is why their movement is so stilted too. -- ***************************************************************************** * E-mail (if you can be bothered): * No-one else is responsible for my * * Matt at ch0mpc@uk.ac.bath.gdt OK? * opinions.
