Officially named:
Reflections of Hypnotoad: ex reginae, propter effertae sunt
A pilkington original! This video is pretty self explanatory.
The song came by way of the old .org forums circa 2002/03, back in the good old days of the OT. Actually this was posted in the music forum, but that's beside the point. For years I have pondered doing this video but the sources never really came together. However recently, I don't really recall HOW to to be honest, I had this vision in my head. And that vision haunted me until the day I completed this video. Now you all knows the horrors of what goes on inside my skull. Enjoy
Technical info:
The footage of Guu was taken from DVDs and upscaled via Avisynth to HD720. Then I evened the framerate to 24fps and deinterlaced the footage, for anyone who has worked with the Jungle Wa Itsumo R1s you know that this is not exactly the simplest task. :p Then I increased the volume of frames to 60.... so yes, this REALLY is 60fps. If you want to know what the crappy p24 version looks like there is a version available on youtube simply called ROHerpes 720p24. All of the Guu footge was rotoscoped in Adobe AfterEffects and imported a a video file into Premiere CS3 for blue-screening and syncing. To put in short, I made the video of just the Guu footage first , timed and sync it, then exported, entered that video into AfterEffects for the rotoscoping, the reexported as the new blue-screened footage, THEN finally added the background images and the backup singers. Yes I probably could have done it all In AE or used some crappy rotoscript, but during the planing phase I discerned that this was the quicker/cleaner method, which it was. At least for my editing style.
