Once you know how to do it, it’s not that interesting any more.ģ. (*&$#! With this video out, now Timbaland is probably going to rip off this effect.Ģ. On those occasions, conflicting sentiments blink like so many p-frames in the frontal lobe of my brain:ġ. But believe it or not, thoughts do flash through my brain as I’m writing – well, at least some of the time. You probably think I’m a hipster, lounging on a bed of PBR cans and spouting nonsense words for occasional blips of Boing Boing fame, that tomorrow I’ll have my own brand of steampunk datamosh. You probably think I post everything without remorse. I think that probably doesn’t matter, because by the time those kids are grown up they’ll be jacked into the Matrix anyway, and to save money, the Matrix will be full of compression artefacts. This is, of course, what baby boomlet parents fear will become the lingua franca of their children, as kids text nonsense to one another rather than paying attention to Pre-Algebra class. 😛 😀 😀 😀 !!!! $$# ragha arugh pi pii pi squeez VLC%%%charflit, flarhfit. The most interesting part of that story wound up being a guy with a few dozen YouTube views who posted videos with this effect like they were home movies, and he seemed to actually speak in a language made up of compression artefacts, and he showed up in comments and said, insightfully I thought:ĭrul pixel the. And so, among others, we recently saw on CDM the music video Evident Utensil, a video that intentionally (ironically?) overused that effect until you started seeing missing p-frames and i-frames in real life and/or threw something at your computer in disgust. Here’s the story so far: there’s a compression artefact created when videos are compressed improperly, which causes frames to melt into one another like wax.

Challenges obscenely-gifted motion artist David O’Reilly to a rumble. Forbids the use of the word datamoshing in future.ģ. In which this humble author, with tongue sometimes planted in cheek:Ģ.
