Princess Chelsea - Monkey Eats Bananas

I watched this music video earlier, and I noticed some of the camera angles were quite interesting...

The editor appears to have layered various trimmed pieces of film over each other, with several independent images moving at once.
The video as a whole seems to have been poorly edited for fashionable effect, as the edges of the layered films are rough and pixelated.

Early on in the clip the shots change so fast it is almost as if you can see one image through another. Later when the monkey is playing the drums, the editor seems to have flipped the shot, so it plays once as it was filmed, and the second time it plays as if it had been mirrored.

Watching this has given me some strong ideas of what I would like to steer clear from when I come to make my film opening.
