Actually, 0 stars is faster, darkrowan.
Here's the youtube vid.


Those are both tool-assisted though, whereas this was done in one attempt on its (semi) native platform (Wii Virtual Console) by a human being without any computer aided performance-enhancement.

While impressive in their own right, they aren't really comparable.. I enjoy watching both types, but certainly respect one way more than the other.

At least the japanise are not in denile when it comes to computer aided music , its strange how in western countries we still bother to have a human when we auto-tune them to the extent that the human dosent really perform a function on the music itself.

If you ditch the need to have human you can then do more experimental stuff with the songs.

Its a shame we dont have Humanoid robots to perform this sort of stuff yet maby another 10-20 years we will.

I'm suprized we don't have stuff close to this in western culture as in the end its all just motivated out of capitalism and its a fairly eficent reliable low cost and convenant way of making money out of music I guess gorilaz is the only thing like this in uk

I work in construction although I lack the testosterone and mechanical inclination to be an actual construction worker, so I'm stuck in the office with you sad saps. In the office I work under the guide of an engineer (as I'm aspiring and going to school to be an engineer, myself), I work on network administration and all other IT needs, and do some project management to top it all off. Oh yea and I'm a Computer Aided Drafter as well. I don't get paid enough, so I get cranky about my job, however, I've found ways to stick it to my company. I like to take extended poop breaks. There's nothing like getting paid to poop. It's the American dream. It's what unions had in mind when they first formed.

Amazing video, song is so so. But the vid, wow... not sure how they did it. Must be computer aided because it seems like a substituted background. The background appears to be super close-ups of areas around the beach. Very, very cool.


The post above you hit it dead on. Tilt Shift Technique. Basically you take the lens off the camera and move it slightly over (shift) to get this effect

i still don't get that whole 1 button mouse thing. At first it was because they didn't know, but now I think they're just being stubborn. I mean I've got 5 fingers on either finger and I can handle at least 4 buttons on a mouse. Plus, as an ex-computer aided drafter, I can really appreciate the scroll wheel.

Well I dont know if anyone knows or cares to know anything about me but here goes.

I'm mike, a 31 year old computer tech from Ireland. Consider myself fairly well traveled, lived in a few different countries, I think everyone should do that and we would have a nicer more peaceful world!

Been called an eternal student, not entirely justified, I started out doing Marine technology (thought I might get into fish farming...yes I was smoking a lot at the time!) but that lead into computer aided design for a couple of years, which lead to networks and support. So I ended up working for Microsoft in tech support, now I'm building and repairing point of sale systems, so next time your at a checkout spare a thought for the guy who has to make and repair those things

I'm a former stoner, lightweight drinker, my loves are cycling, snorkelling and gaming. I used to combine the smoking and snorkelling , it was very EIA but fun too, if a little creepy

I love animals (not that way) but I cant bear to bury anymore of them so I havent replaced any of the dogs and cats that passed in the last couple of years. When they are knocking around for 20 years and then go it "kicks my ass" as my american friends say.

I like this place because the people are cool and some of them should be writing for a living. I hope to start an I.T. Degree part time later in the year, after that I'd like to get into Astronomy. Aim for the stars right??

Stop the presses!

I first came to love the feel of the IBM M. I used to do computer aided drafting so once I became used to that feel and sound, I had a hard time acclimating to anything different.
