Music Video

The video for "The Heinrich Maneuver" was released on June 26, 2007. A single take of the main character, a woman in a white dress, shown in extreme slow motion walking towards her demise. This overlays three other characters who react as events unfold in a mixture of speed altered motion, initially proceeding forward and then reversing. The woman featured unwittingly walks in front of a moving bus whose impact is cut short by the screen turning black as the song's outro is cut short.
