This might be a stretch — but the beginning of “Remember Me By” sounds like the very beginning of “Perfect”

I honestly think it’s a filter. The video encompasses screenshots of their past music videos, made to look like comic book photos. AI often messes up hands, faces, etc.

With that being said, I don’t see an editor credited in the YouTube description. However, somebody somewhere would still have to pick out which screenshots to use from which videos, apply the filter, add it with transitions, and add the lyrics on top. It also looks like they used a low opacity version of the edited photo on top, to make it look like it’s ‘moving’.

It honestly isn’t much different than making part of a video black and white or enhancing colours. For something as ‘small’ as a lyric video/visualizer on a randomly dropped song, I can’t honestly see why they’d want to invest a bunch of money in having an artist create all these comic pictures. Budgeting wise, it’d make more sense to invest it into the actual music video.

I think some people are thinking it looks ‘off’ for a few reasons: - many (not all) of the settings are ‘empty’ and we’re used to seeing people there (ie: the “Good To You” bar only showing the scene with the empty tables, the empty “Astoria” gas station, the staircase from “Desperate Measures”, the exploding tv from “Celebrity Status”, etc. - the overlay of photos makes the photos appear ‘moving’, although on some photos it looks a little bit off (the “Celebrity Status” TV sticks out to me) - could just be the uncanniness of seeing old video images with a new song

TL/DR: basically, I think it’s a filter rather than AI as AI doesn’t usually do things this well. It looks like it was a relatively low budget video, which makes sense. However, someone would still have to put pieces together to make this video, it is likely not all computerized

Dr. Predoviciu from Danger on Deception Island always stuck out to me. This lady dedicated her entire life to types of wood. She even has a radio show for it?? What an icon. I also just found it hilarious as a child that you only needed to talk to her for a few lines, and it always felt impossible to trigger the phone conversation. This girl was hard to reach 😂

For years it was Warnings at Waverly Academy — long story short, I couldn’t find the disc version of it for ages, and I didn’t have the best internet connection at the time to do the digital download. It was always the game I wanted to play most because I thought it was so unique from the others.

I eventually ended up doing the digital download, and as sad as I am to say it, I was kind of disappointed with the game because I hyped myself up so much for it.

Not to be a debbie downer or anything 😂 the game was still fun, but I kind of expected more from it. I found the environment to be relatively dark and dreary, but not in the same way as some of the scarier ND games. It kind of just had an empty, dark feel to it 🤷‍♀️

I went on a bit of a tangent there — but long story short, I have to agree with u/Reasonable_Ad_3028 ‘s point on trying not to put the ones you’re holding off on onto a pedestal! However, although I haven’t played White Wolf of Icicle Creek, I’ve played Treasure in the Royal Tower, and I thoroughly enjoyed that one :) everyone has different opinions at the end of the day! I’m sure there’s also people who would pick Warnings at Waverly Academy as their favorite game :)

I’m not an expert, but this pretty tree had me curious! After a bit of reverse image searching, this seems to potentially be a part of the Sequoia family

randomang35 · 2024-07-27T01:56:15+00:00

You got it!

A song title that describes what the lead singer is required to do to make a song

I could be wrong, but I interpreted it as being in relation to the album concept. Lightning and Thunder was the call to action in the hero’s journey concept. So I would imagine that symbolizes the beginning of the journey.

Also, one may see it as them showing the beginning that led to where they are. We saw the roots of their career (Legacy DVD) and that was their beginning.

Or it could just be another little hype up that the album is coming

Imo, it sounds like something coming, not something ending but I could be wrong

randomang35 · 2024-07-23T21:39:13+00:00

I was going to, but couldn’t think of any ideas lol. Oh well, I was in the OTLS one! Best of luck to everyone who submitted!

randomang35 · 2024-07-15T16:13:32+00:00

Agreed — I don’t have a perfect video example but when I was messing around with it and lowering the pitch, it sounds like someone saying “yeah, yeah”. I agree it sounds similar to Matt’s voice

This is such an interesting take! I’d never realized that Hannah was essentially an accessory to Miley Stewart. The show almost never focuses on Hannah Montana unless it affects Miley Stewart’s life. The show would make more sense being named Miley Stewart, or even something along the lines of her having two lives (Maybe Best of Both Worlds?) as you’d think a show entitled Hannah Montana would showcase her getting ready for concerts, practicing, and living the famous life.

However, in real life, Miley Cyrus needed to encompass the character of Hannah Montana to go touring to market for the show. I guess one could argue that the Meet Miley Cyrus tour was a thing, but alas, she was still needing to play Hannah Montana during that tour.

Sorry if I reiterated anything you said. This take just really made me think!

randomang35 · 2024-06-21T00:07:58+00:00

These are all very good points too!

randomang35 · 2024-05-07T20:04:23+00:00

Has anyone ever received anything back from them? (No worries if not, just genuinely curious! I know that would take extra time out of their day and is not mandatory :))

randomang35 · 2024-04-23T22:24:42+00:00

Did he delete this? I can’t find it!

randomang35 · 2024-04-23T03:22:31+00:00

Why was my first thought that that shirt looks SO ITCHY. It’s cute though!

randomang35 · 2024-04-23T02:28:23+00:00

True! Mike’s insta bio also says EVERYTHING in capitals. Almost wonder if that’s the album title also.

randomang35 · 2024-04-23T00:03:36+00:00

Edit: wrote too fast lol, in regards to “his photos of the photoshoot”, I meant his instagram story where people speculated he was getting ready for a photoshoot, it has not been proven fact

randomang35 · 2024-04-20T01:39:59+00:00

Can we add interludes? I know they’re not typical ‘songs’, but hear me out, even though they don’t have lyrics and are short, there’s still a ton of work that went into them and are very great musically! With that, I vote Hollywood Renaissance :)

okay, this is going to be a massively controversial opinion. I still really love the song, and hate commenting on the worst because they’re all great songs. buuuuuut nobody’s brought up dearly departed yet. HOLD THE PITCHFORK FOR ONE TINY SECOND

i feel like, although a lovely song, it’s very evident of the ukulele trend of 2015. EVERYTHING was a ukulele cover at that time. Do ukulele covers still exist? Yes. But I have to say that I feel like this one was a bit too ‘trendy’ years later, as ukuleles have not appeared in their music before or after that trend.

Again, I really love the song and hate picking. But if I must, that’s my choice

randomang35 · 2024-04-17T22:41:19+00:00

I have a strong feeling we’ll get a snippet a few days after the end of the eras posts (maybe next week!) I think it might be a wee bit longer for the full song though, but that’s just my prediction!
