Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I have only the vaguest memory of Max Headroom and seeing that brought back some memories. I think trying to paint him as a stereotypical ideal Aryan is a bit of a stretch, but the rest seemed pretty on the mark.
The connections he makes later in the show from Headroom to modern Twitch streamers and saying "I want to see Max Headroom playing a video game" brought to mind modern vtubers. Certainly the tech is there now for someone to do a "real time" Max Headroom that actually is computer animated, though implementing the glitches would probably take some custom development of some sort.
That said, I think the proper approach for the show would be to do it in a retro-futuristic way and have it look much like the original media's perception of "the future" was. So as little CGI as possible, and all the TVs are still 4:3 tubes with big knobs. I highly doubt they'll take that approach, though; too much effort.
- corobo 4y ago> implementing the glitches would probably take some custom development of some sort OBS and the StreamFX plugin would get you a hell of a lot of distance before needing too much custom code I imagine. Very nice bit of kit. Cool glitchy effects if you layer stuff up https://obsproject.com/ https://obsproject.com/ https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-streamfx https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-streamfx e.g. a clip from TheSushiDragon https://twitter.com/Twitch/status/1050161381457190912 https://twitter.com/Twitch/status/1050161381457190912
- cykros 4y agoWhen I heard Matt Frewer was involved I initially said, "At his age?!" Then I remembered, it's not 1987, and Max can actually be computer animated this time around. Though in fairness he was spry enough in Altered Carbon that it probably wouldn't be too bad either way.
- vintermann 4y agoI saw one guy doing a nice Max Headroom variant for political satire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh0tdz3X8FU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh0tdz3X8FU The technology is definitively there.
- Cyberdog 4y agoWas that rendered in real time, though?
