That happens quite a lot when you work with video/effects software. And not even in that fun, braggy way. After making video for hundreds or thousands of hours, your brain kinda gets rewired to always look at video as you do in work - trying to remember and grasp all of the mechanics of it - layers, effects, movements, etc.. And it's kind of an intrusive thought when you just watch video. Sometimes I find my brain thinking about effect stacks on an image instead of just enjoying it like a decent mind sponge.
@@cybernakulum Hahaha, check out this guy, humbly bragging about his motion graphics skills but then mentioning he works with "layers, effects, and movements".

@@delphicdescant I think the issue with current minimalism is that it's boring and uninventive, unoriginal.

The engineers had thought they'd gone and created the greatest format to ever exist, and triumph over their success by employing skillful graphic artists to create art that compliments it in a way that no other style could.
ball saxophone CD used infared lasers, one of the thicker wavelengths of light. They held 650 megabytes. DVDs used a red laser, narrower than infared. They held like 6.7 or so GB. A blu ray uses a blue laser, the thinnest visible light. They hold like 60gb or something
I work at a thrift store as the person who collects the donations and someone donated like 100 of these tapes. I'm happy to say that they are just as beautiful in real life and despite being born too late to remember many of these from my childhood, I could recognize ~80% of them because of this absolutely beautiful video.

[The smoothest synthwave you've ever heard] A true classic, and a marvel in its time. The powerhouse of visual media for decades, with its cousins not far behind it and its competitors left in the dust. It has traded hands from blockbuster hits, to simple home movies, and with tens of millions sold, the VHS is a truly iconic symbol of the late 20th century. So how did this marvel of the early information age come about in the first place? Why did it beat out the competitors in it's time? And most importantly... Why did it all eventually come unwound? [AHOY LOGO/SPLASH ART]

@lilboybailey Not at all! PAL VHS being 25fps is a misconception. Analog TV is interlaced, and each interlaced "frame" is actually composed of two different images, stored at half the vertical resolution of the standard. These images are called fields. PAL TV (and therefore, PAL VHS) displays 50 fields per second. The reason for this confusion is people think 25 interlaced frames = 25 progressive frames, and deinterlace the footage by blending the two fields contained in an interlaced frame into one progressive frame. The correct way to deinterlace the footage is to interpolate the missing lines in each of the fields, turning each field into a progressive frame. This results in video that plays at 50 progressive frames per second. I know my explanation is convoluted, but no, 50fps would not break the immersion at all - it would help it.
Holy crap I just realized the trend of diagonal parallel lines is based directly on the innovation that made VHS possible! It's exactly how the video is recorded onto the tape! Thanks Technology Connections for explaining that to me.
This is an amazing piece of animation! The first one should have read "Ampex" rather than "Aphex," but aside from that I have no quarrels with it. The way you got each one to seamlessly morph into the next is nothing short of fantastic. Speaking not just as a fan of old VHS tapes but also as a longtime pro graphic designer: Thank you for loading up a bunch of great memories!
I thought this was going to be an obscure video essay about how under appreciated the art is, while I would have admired that. It feels so much better to just have it shown to you in a beautiful way. Rather than have it explained
1:06 This one is literally standing on my desk, with the recording of Czech Television´s "special report" on the 9/11 attacks, that happened earlier that day. All of this recorded over the movie Amadeus
This video really made me appreciate something. I could just say that I wish I was born in this era, where cassettes and tapes ruled. I could say that I wish I grew up with the different music, the different people, so many things. But then, I would have to forsake so many things I've come to take for granted. I'd have to leave behind the things that made me the person I am today, being on the cusp of adulthood. Could I just give it all up and try again, in a different way? No. What I am glad for, is that I get to experience videos like these, that show just how alive and vibrate the world was before me. I can live today and see what happened yesterday, meet the people and talk to the people who grew up with this unique experience. I can see all of the beautiful things that have been made in rememberance of what once was, and is no longer. What I can do in the future is to do the same for others. Constantly forwarding the human experience. Isn't that the age we live in now? Man, I gotta go the fuck to bed I got a final to fail
God this video is so fucking good. The choice of covers abs especially the editing is just perfect. The little edit at 0:50 where he kicks the colors to the music is just awesome. Great stuff here.
Woah that one at 0:52 is nostalgic. My dad used to buy VHS all the time as he recorded lot of hockey games and he often got those ones. Know what's funny though, we've almost gone backwards in a way. It's actually very hard to record a TV show for archival now. You can use a PVR but now the show is stuck in a proprietary "black box" that you can't do anything with. With VHS at least it was on removable storage in a standard format. You could just buy more tapes as needed, pass them to a friend etc. Now if your PVR is full you have to delete stuff. I bough my dad a HDMI capture device that can record to USB stick so guess that's the closest you're going to get to a VCR, but at least with VCR you could watch something else while it was recording.
TV tuner cards are very much still a thing and, at least in the US, as long as it has a CableCARD port on it, you can get encrypted channels that you pay for, just need a conditional access module, you just gotta ask the provider for one though. Only issue is that Microsoft's support for that equipment is dying and the free alternatives ate unstable as hell
I think thats maybe the point. Was too easy to record and pass it around. Copyright infringement was their biggest complaint back then. My mom still has shelves full of movies that were recorded on blank tape and passed around at work.
I got a TV decoder that can record raw TS streams to a USB drive. It's awesome, though nowadays there's no interesting content on national TV in my country. I use it to record and archive TV ads.
Designers were really fond of stripes and in the later years, cubes and spheres. Was hoping to see some TDK designs in here too! Nostalgic but I'm glad we moved on from VHS and past LDs and CDs!
My grandfather recently passed away. We've been cleaning out his trailer home and have literally carried out thousands of pounds of blank VHS tapes (as in never recorded to), all makes and brands. He was a habitual TV show recorder from early on when blanks first became available on the market and recorded shows on VHS all the way up until a month before he died suddenly from hearth failure caused by an infection that brought on pneumonia. I have to say of all those brands, Fuji was an absolute beast. Those VHS were built like tanks and had some real heft to them and their cases despite having the same record time as the cheaper brands. Looking through all the blank VHS tapes plus the ones that actually had stuff on them, I was very much reminded of this video and just had to come watch it again. One little treasure I found was a TV recording of The Hobbit, the original cartoon who's sound effect reels were all lost in a fire years ago. The destruction was so complete, that when they released it on DVD, all the sound effects were missing. I am 100% gleeful to hear those amazing sounds once again, even if it is VHS quality.
Took me back to my childhood. Grabbing a tape at the last minute to record a movie that was starting in 60 seconds, only to find the tab had been snapped off. So you frantically run around the house trying to find some selotape to cover it up to hit record.
Thank you for inspiring me in my own designs, so amazing what one can do with just straight lines. The length, width, proportion, tone it's just perfect.
This really is beautiful. It really makes me nostalgic for those covers, there was a simple charm to them, but you really expanded that with the transitions. You've really got some skill and an eye for visual design! Dang, going to hold on to the few of these covers that I still have lying around.
The authenticity of these visuals to the origional VHS designs is super high level. I dont know how you make these but wow this is impressive to say the least.
Couldn't agree more. Love the designs of old blank VHS tape boxes. So much so that I bought all 9 boards in 5boro's first VHS series and they've been hanging on my walls for years now.
@@yoman9446 ...dude the definition of nostalgia is recalling a memory that's usually a more happy or joyful period. You can have nostalgia when you start having memories. Get off your rocking chair.

I can live today and see what happened yesterday, meet the people and talk to the people who grew up with this unique experience. I can see all of the beautiful things that have been made in rememberance of what once was, and is no longer. What I can do in the future is to do the same for others.
Constantly forwarding the human experience.
Isn't that the age we live in now?
Man, I gotta go the fuck to bed I got a final to fail
This comment is making me feel things
God this video is so fucking good. The choice of covers abs especially the editing is just perfect. The little edit at 0:50 where he kicks the colors to the music is just awesome. Great stuff here.
1:00 ahh remember when every brand ever had the Olympics Logo on it for no good reason?- it wouldn't even be the year of or close to the year of-
Brings a tear to my eye even though I am not from blank VHS times 😔 If any of you see this comment, happy new year and stay safe. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thanks

I think all the angled stripes were to symbolise helical scan.
Thank you. I did not know about this, my mind is blown.
Woah that one at 0:52 is nostalgic. My dad used to buy VHS all the time as he recorded lot of hockey games and he often got those ones. Know what's funny though, we've almost gone backwards in a way. It's actually very hard to record a TV show for archival now. You can use a PVR but now the show is stuck in a proprietary "black box" that you can't do anything with. With VHS at least it was on removable storage in a standard format. You could just buy more tapes as needed, pass them to a friend etc. Now if your PVR is full you have to delete stuff. I bough my dad a HDMI capture device that can record to USB stick so guess that's the closest you're going to get to a VCR, but at least with VCR you could watch something else while it was recording.
Red Squirrel Blu ray burners are the modern VHS recorder.
But you still need to find a way to get the video off the PVR. There are ways, such as using HDMI capture, but it's not as easy as it used to be.
TV tuner cards are very much still a thing and, at least in the US, as long as it has a CableCARD port on it, you can get encrypted channels that you pay for, just need a conditional access module, you just gotta ask the provider for one though. Only issue is that Microsoft's support for that equipment is dying and the free alternatives ate unstable as hell
I think thats maybe the point. Was too easy to record and pass it around. Copyright infringement was their biggest complaint back then. My mom still has shelves full of movies that were recorded on blank tape and passed around at work.
I got a TV decoder that can record raw TS streams to a USB drive. It's awesome, though nowadays there's no interesting content on national TV in my country. I use it to record and archive TV ads.
Never again will we experience an era of such beautiful yet simple use of color, and line
The crazy thing about this is it probably took SOOO long to make this and yet, this person still made it 60 Frames Per Second. Absolute Legend.
No, you won't, you can't make me... I-
... Back in my day we recorded our TV shows!
what happen to UA-cam ? is now raccomending good video ? i'm impressed
I'm impressed that your grammar is BAD
@@montaserajlony Or maybe he doesn't speak english much.
Wow, a comment with bad grammar gets 120+ likes. Amazing.
@@Okwardi As I said, English probably isn't his/her's main language.
Now we are insulting people because of their grammar? Come on.

@Geeta Pollard he edited the description, after i posted this comment
can i just quietly appreciate the sync with the music and the music choice?
absolute quality
I feel like I’m too young to appreciate this one fully but it’s still amazing!
I have no idea how you make these, and that makes the videos so much cooler
No idea what is happening please explain

He surely starts from vectorial logos, my knowledge stops here though
I was born in 98 and this brings back so much nostalgia for when my dad would record episodes of the Simpsons and kids TV!
I'm getting nostalgia for a time that I didn't experience. the editing of this video adds to the value of this video immensely.
Designers were really fond of stripes and in the later years, cubes and spheres. Was hoping to see some TDK designs in here too! Nostalgic but I'm glad we moved on from VHS and past LDs and CDs!
Fuck no, VHS still rules supreme. At least you can drop a VHS without the entirety of it's contents becoming corrupted, unlike those goddamn DVDs.

Like what?
Fastest minute and 42 seconds of my life....
My grandfather recently passed away. We've been cleaning out his trailer home and have literally carried out thousands of pounds of blank VHS tapes (as in never recorded to), all makes and brands. He was a habitual TV show recorder from early on when blanks first became available on the market and recorded shows on VHS all the way up until a month before he died suddenly from hearth failure caused by an infection that brought on pneumonia.
I have to say of all those brands, Fuji was an absolute beast. Those VHS were built like tanks and had some real heft to them and their cases despite having the same record time as the cheaper brands. Looking through all the blank VHS tapes plus the ones that actually had stuff on them, I was very much reminded of this video and just had to come watch it again.
One little treasure I found was a TV recording of The Hobbit, the original cartoon who's sound effect reels were all lost in a fire years ago. The destruction was so complete, that when they released it on DVD, all the sound effects were missing. I am 100% gleeful to hear those amazing sounds once again, even if it is VHS quality.
One of those videos that unlocks childhood memories you didnt know you had
You should stream while you make these. A lot of people could learn from your talent.
The author is Russian, hence he might be shy to make such streams in English.
A magician never reveals it's secrets
KalebIsHere but an artist seeks to inspire
Keystrokes Yeah true. But. Like that other guy said. He might be shy (if actually is Russian)
I love this so much.
Ok
This is so beautiful, I swear it should be playing in an art museum somewhere.
Took me back to my childhood. Grabbing a tape at the last minute to record a movie that was starting in 60 seconds, only to find the tab had been snapped off. So you frantically run around the house trying to find some selotape to cover it up to hit record.
This feels like an extremely long movie intro with all the different production studio logos coming up
God, I sure love those logos, especially those one studio logos that you never heard of and have an amazing logo sequence.
no, you're kind beautiful.
this gives you nostalga youve never had
Thank you for inspiring me in my own designs, so amazing what one can do with just straight lines.
The length, width, proportion, tone it's just perfect.
This isn't even my generation but your edits are still so satisfying to watch
This really is beautiful. It really makes me nostalgic for those covers, there was a simple charm to them, but you really expanded that with the transitions. You've really got some skill and an eye for visual design! Dang, going to hold on to the few of these covers that I still have lying around.
The authenticity of these visuals to the origional VHS designs is super high level. I dont know how you make these but wow this is impressive to say the least.
Ooft, the nostalgia hit me hard here. This is wonderful! Your animation is so smooth and beautiful.
This is like visual ASMR! I thought I was the only one who was mesmerized by the Scotch T120 gradient sphere.
Dunno what this is doing in my recommended, but damn am I happy it's there
Couldn't agree more. Love the designs of old blank VHS tape boxes. So much so that I bought all 9 boards in 5boro's first VHS series and they've been hanging on my walls for years now.
Can someone put this on Wallpaper Engine? Its so fucking awesome!
someone did! user Manmar Miggins posted on wallpaper engine.
cool gamer is cool awesome! I’m gonna go download that, thank you :)
just download the vid
Op_Pls _Nerf I don’t have UA-cam premium
@@gagemikel186 there are free pages that let you Download videos
Is it wierd that Im getting a nostalgia like feeling even though i was born in 2004
Tylan Holmes I’m getting the same thing and I was born two years later
It's the music, look up more stuff by HOME like Resonance, you'll get the same sensation.
damn, too many kids here talking about nostalgia when they don't realize what it even is
@@yoman9446 ...dude the definition of nostalgia is recalling a memory that's usually a more happy or joyful period. You can have nostalgia when you start having memories. Get off your rocking chair.
i still remember so many of them but i never activly saw them as art, until now
If I were making a documentary about the history of VHS and other outmoded video formats, I would license this for the intro in a heartbeat.
There should be a 10 hours version of this for my sleepless nights.
Watching from 0:55 to the end tripped me the fuck out. Fullscreen recommended.
This video made me dig through my parents' old VHS home movies just to look at the covers. I absolutely love this video.
My childhood memory (90s) for VHS Covers
Just lovin the color & line patterns , so fasinsting & still modern in 2020s 💪💪👏👏
I can only think of one word for this:
