In Europe, the bars weren't used as the test image, but rather circles were used instead. Despite this, European creators, both online and on TV, choose to use the foreign style of the bars instead.
On OTA TV? Yes. On cable? I've definitely seen bars as well. Possibly because most channels on cable belonged to American companies. I'm also in Russia, we technically used SECAM rather than PAL during the analogue days, unlike most of Europe; even though we de-facto switched to PAL in the early 2000s, some traditions might have stuck from before.
Televison static wreaks havoc on modern video compression algorithms used when uploading to TH-cam, and can look blotchy and low quality _really_ fast (if it's just the classic "ants" at a high resolution without any distortion/interference lines or other rolling-type artifacts) if you leave it on screen for too long.
I always go back to that all of our data is gone video, it has some of the most masterful storytelling I’ve seen in an actual real event using the people apart of it as the focus and you can feel the tension throughout the video and the relief towards the end
it's a whole category of pointless discussions: Is atheism a religion? Is bald a hair cut? Is water a beverage? Is unemployed a job? Is zero a natural number?

2:32 "analog TV station" is a bit more correct here (imo) because the TV can be hooked up to a digital receiver that does all the processing and display the output on the TV. _(that's how many people did it in years following the transition to digital broadcasting)_
Having a shorter form video that represents the content of the longer video is super smart. It'd be cool to see if using a shorter video with the same "type" of content does help direct more traffic to the longer video. Also very good video, both this, and the longer one as well. I always enjoy learning more about video editing, as well as the small nuances taken into account on each cut/transition. On another note, that tattoo is cool as hell, and something I'm very tempted to do myself. It's cool that you're also documenting the fading and quality of the tattoo as well.
There is a pet peeve of mine when I see the bars transitions and people put a very wide wave warp/turbulent displace on top of it because you can so easily see that it's just a wave and looks nothing like signal glitch and feels like it defeats the purpose of the implied jank. Set the wave type to noise so that it's not uniform at least! Thank you for coming to my rant
One of my favorite films for transitions is Wild At Heart with Nicholas Cage. In the beginning there’s random shots of fire in between cuts, but later on in the film there are scenes of the main antagonist putting on lipstick showing her becoming progressively more unhinged- you just have to see it, I won’t spoil the film. At any rate, the final transition has become one of the most memorable images from the film in spite of being on screen less than a second.
Gosh, that was a very effective snippet/ad/teaser. My interest _was_ piqued by the longer one but, December being December, I filed it away for later due to the length. Also, I love and hate how, in some lighting conditions, your test-card tat has the black-level seemingly adjusted wrong (with infra-black being distinct from black), and yet in other lighting conditions (including apparently equally-well-lit ones?) those two bars do indeed look indistinguishable as they should be. I assume you had the tattooist make a slightly different ink mix even when targeting the same visual outcome, or, something (straight-up two different commercial blacks?), but, yeah. It's a perfect detail for those in the know! Definitely did not expect the crossover of my interests between videography and piercings/tats to occur in this video. But I love that it did!
Good spot! I asked the artist to add more black to that section during the one and only touch-up, which was 2-3 months after the tattoo was first done. I'll never again have it touched up, since the point of the tattoo is to fade. I should have been taking pics of it in equal lighting conditions...
Damn I just saw this video after not watching LTT for years and was like... I recognize that face... I recognize that name... OHHHHH ITS HIM. Glad to find you again man, away from all the corporate bs too no less.
4:54 I always saw these as an ad break, like something you would see on a rerun or a recording of a tv program. There's no other explanation as to why someone would PURPOSEFULLY edit it like this.
Dude, please disable auto-dubbing, it's so annoying to have to change to "English original" every single time. You might think this would help reach more people worldwide, but the translation is so bad that the only thing it really does is annoy people who don't use TH-cam in English and have to change the audio track every time.
When i watched ltt years ago those color bars with the loud bleep cuts were so annoying and even though you mention turning the gain down here I remember it still being obnoxiously loud. I probably left a few comments back then complaining. Some of us live in apartments with neighbors and don't want to annoy them with bleeps overtaking the normal murmur.
I like him, in fact I love him and will always be... but he makes very simple thing very complicated 🫡😅 not that I hate it, he puts so much knowledge and wisdom behind it but yeah haha.
Having the bars tattooed onto you is possibly the most fantastic yet most "wtf?!" worthy thing I think I've seen you do yet
It is so Taran, that somehow I'm not even surprised
I feel you Taran, I too love Captain Disillusion.

"Is a cut a transition, or the lack thereof?" gave me flashbacks to discussions on black (and white) in colour theory... :)
it's a whole category of pointless discussions:
Is atheism a religion?
Is bald a hair cut?
Is water a beverage?
Is unemployed a job?
Is zero a natural number?

I know this is about the cut, but i love the color bars/resolution test tattoo!

The problem with using static noise is that it wreaks havoc with the bit-rate on TH-cam.
You got to visit silverwood! Fun!
Taran, you're such a weird person at times.
But that's what we come here for, aren't we?
i love the tattoo experiment!!! so sick!
i can only cut using a knife :(

2:25 don’t get varicose veins 😅
My favourite transition is the Star Wars wipe.
And then there's whatever the fuck the cuts in the Monogatari series are
Everyone knows the Star Wipe is the best transition.
Very good, Taran.
3:36 Silverwood??

Can there be a link to the waiting list for the course?
In the new Beast Games show they really use cut to black way too much.
GOATed funnel into your other video
I should have done a color test tattoo before getting a half arm pokemon tattoo with a jojo reference
0:35 papercut?
No link to the tatoo?
I fail to understand why this video isn't 3 hours long. 😅
Good news! It's actually over 4 hours long. Enjoy!
Didn't cuts get invented before transitions?
Do you ever regret leaving LTT?
I hate how prevalent these color bars have become in TH-cam videos, since the tone is always 10 times louder than the accompanying voiceover.
hi taran
