broad strokes seem to be – if a music video was shot on film, rather than magnetic tape (which was most of them, since it was for TV), there's opportunity to create truly higher quality video. these vids of The Who look like they were filmed yesterday youtube.com/watch?v=Gu9HhY

I'm annoyed at how difficult it is for me to search "high quality video of music/bands shot on film" on youtube. can't figure out what to search for. I just wanna see more of this

there was so little video content for streaming in 2005 that we all watched this for the full 5 minutes and enjoyed it

^ this is surely also why old novels are so long &tedious. it only seems tedious now because there's so much else to read. but at the time when you were stuck alone at home in a long winter with only 2 books, reading about every detail of paris's sewers would've been riveting

reminds me of this nirvana footage, always feels kinda trippy seeing stuff like this in such high quality

radiohead has been uploading stuff from their archives – album-quality audio, remarkably good video quality from 1994. this seems better than the 2007 glastonbury set I used to watch as a teenager

this seems somewhat higher quality than I ever remember seeing it – and on rewatch it's kind of cute and cool how there's this sort of meta-commentary about the media with all the many screens and channels youtube.com/watch?v=o1tj2z

but tbh how do I really tell / know for sure? perception is a hell of a drug. one thing I do know is that old video games always look worse than they did when I first played them, and I think that's because my standards & expectations keep getting higher every year

usually I think bc it reveals all of the imperfections in the costume and set design etc, which are often designed with the assumption that things won't be seen that clearly

the lighting etc is also often made with that assumption

It's become a running joke that Morrigan's unchanged sprite looks so out of place in all the VS games. But when you look at her sprite as it was meant to be displayed, in Darkstalkers, on an arcade monitor with scanlines, it looks great!
