Synopsis

In a dark, empty room, young martial artist Chloe Bruce performs a highly choreographed forms routine to Cylob's fast, playful electronic track. Her movements combine kicks, spins, acrobatics and weapon-like gestures, giving the performance the visual rhythm of a dance. The camera steadily observes her from changing angles as she moves across the space, emphasizing her flexibility, balance and precision. There is no conventional storyline; the video is essentially a focused showcase for Bruce's athletic performance.

Factoids & Trivia

  • Chloe Bruce was already an accomplished competitive martial artist when the video was made. She later became a stunt performer and worked as a stunt double on films including *Star Wars: The Force Awakens*, *Guardians of the Galaxy* and *Blade Runner 2049*.
  • The routine belongs to the musical-forms tradition of martial arts, in which techniques are performed to music without physical contact. The style sits somewhere between a kata demonstration and dance choreography.
  • According to production notes, the filmmaker encountered Bruce at a kickboxing tournament, where she was performing to extremely fast techno music. For the video, she had to slow and extend the routine so it would fill more than three minutes.
  • The clip is known for its restrained, continuous presentation rather than rapid cutting. That one-take approach creates an interesting contrast with the track's frantic breaks and computer-generated vocals.
  • "Rewind!" was originally released as a single in 1999 and became one of Cylob's best-known tracks. The video later gained renewed attention online and reportedly passed 300,000 YouTube views.
