Gotta love the found footage videos' photorealism and camera effects too. One of the reasons why a "retro" motif is commonly seen in these videos is to make it more convincing.
What found footage video do you assume to be most convincing? And how do you think photorealistic found footage videos will be made in the future?
- maximus_prime 2y agoAdding those imperfections to the video in post allows your brain to fill in the blanks and make it look more realistic. If it were a 4K video the CGI would be a lot more noticeable. I think the retro look will probably stay as I feel it's part of the aesthetic. But maybe in the future we'll have backrooms-style videos of the current times, and then I imagine the retro/vintage aesthetic will go away.
- Use 2y agoHow do you think CGI for photorealistic found footage would be optimized? What new methods might be used?
- houseplant 2y agoeveryone says the Kanepixels stuff is the best, but in my opinion, establishing a lore and a story with this big corporate overlord and science fiction stuff was a mistake and only erodes the mysterious and malevolent nature of the entire thing. There's a youtube account called "mattstudios" who does his own take, and generally spearheaded the "poolrooms" variant of this genre, that is far more grounded and tries to present the concept from the point of view of an everyday guy who "noclips" into it purely by mistake. for me, this is the best backrooms take, not just for how realistic the video artifacts are, but because of how it captures just a guy recording something on his handicam in 1997 and how he'd realistically act: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KenTOGFwLpU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KenTOGFwLpU
