      That happens quite a lot when you work with video/effects software. And not even in that fun, braggy way. After making video for hundreds or thousands of hours, your brain kinda gets rewired to always look at video as you do in work - trying to remember and grasp all of the mechanics of it - layers, effects, movements, etc..
      And it's kind of an intrusive thought when you just watch video. Sometimes I find my brain thinking about effect stacks on an image instead of just enjoying it like a decent mind sponge.

      @IvanDSM 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @lilboybailey Not at all! PAL VHS being 25fps is a misconception. Analog TV is interlaced, and each interlaced "frame" is actually composed of two different images, stored at half the vertical resolution of the standard. These images are called fields. PAL TV (and therefore, PAL VHS) displays 50 fields per second. The reason for this confusion is people think 25 interlaced frames = 25 progressive frames, and deinterlace the footage by blending the two fields contained in an interlaced frame into one progressive frame. The correct way to deinterlace the footage is to interpolate the missing lines in each of the fields, turning each field into a progressive frame. This results in video that plays at 50 progressive frames per second. I know my explanation is convoluted, but no, 50fps would not break the immersion at all - it would help it.

    [The smoothest synthwave you've ever heard]
    A true classic,
    and a marvel in its time.
    The powerhouse of visual media for decades, with its cousins not far behind it and its competitors left in the dust.
    It has traded hands from blockbuster hits, to simple home movies, and with tens of millions sold, the VHS is a truly iconic symbol of the late 20th century.
    So how did this marvel of the early information age come about in the first place?
    Why did it beat out the competitors in it's time?
    And most importantly... Why did it all eventually come unwound?

    Woah that one at 0:52 is nostalgic. My dad used to buy VHS all the time as he recorded lot of hockey games and he often got those ones. Know what's funny though, we've almost gone backwards in a way. It's actually very hard to record a TV show for archival now. You can use a PVR but now the show is stuck in a proprietary "black box" that you can't do anything with. With VHS at least it was on removable storage in a standard format. You could just buy more tapes as needed, pass them to a friend etc. Now if your PVR is full you have to delete stuff. I bough my dad a HDMI capture device that can record to USB stick so guess that's the closest you're going to get to a VCR, but at least with VCR you could watch something else while it was recording.

    This video really made me appreciate something.

    But then, I would have to forsake so many things I've come to take for granted. I'd have to leave behind the things that made me the person I am today, being on the cusp of adulthood.
    Could I just give it all up and try again, in a different way?
    No.
    What I am glad for, is that I get to experience videos like these, that show just how alive and vibrate the world was before me. I can live today and see what happened yesterday, meet the people and talk to the people who grew up with this unique experience. I can see all of the beautiful things that have been made in rememberance of what once was, and is no longer. What I can do in the future is to do the same for others.
