They didn't. 115 00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:30,460 I think the lead singer wrote some 116 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,320 Eurovision songs. 117 00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:33,880 He was quite 118 00:05:34,999 --> 00:05:36,540 prolific after the band 119 00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:38,120 separated. Shall we discuss how 120 00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:40,240 they look and probably more 121 00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:41,760 specifically how they're dressed? Yep. 122 00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:43,380 Let's dive straight. 123 00:05:44,780 --> 00:05:46,100 Yeah, I got quite a distinct 124 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,340 impression as soon as I watched it. 125 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,020 I just had an image of 126 00:05:50,380 --> 00:05:52,260 some producer with a cigar sitting there 127 00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:54,500 going like, ah, the kids these days, they like 128 00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:56,040 NSYNC, the boy's owns. 129 00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:57,360 We want you to dress like them. 130 00:05:57,580 --> 00:05:57,700 Yeah. 131 00:05:58,060 --> 00:05:59,580 Because I get the feeling 132 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,780 this isn't how they generally dress. 133 00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:02,380 They do look very uncomfortable. 134 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:03,620 Do they? 135 00:06:04,660 --> 00:06:05,820 I wouldn't say they look uncomfortable. 136 00:06:05,950 --> 00:06:07,120 It looks like they're doing 137 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,560 a boy band cosplay. 138 00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:09,200 Yeah, they're like 139 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,140 parodying themselves. 140 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,320 I don't know. 141 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,440 I think they look fabulous. 142 00:06:13,140 --> 00:06:14,220 As long as they're owning it. 143 00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:14,960 I'm going to go 144 00:06:15,020 --> 00:06:16,420 they're probably parodying themselves. 145 00:06:16,820 --> 00:06:18,380 Because it has got lots of shots 146 00:06:18,430 --> 00:06:19,220 of them in the studio 147 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:19,980 you know, 148 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:21,400 laying down their next hit single 149 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:21,980 and all that stuff. 150 00:06:22,110 --> 00:06:23,000 So it could just be 151 00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:24,520 a parody of 152 00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:30,680 what the world maybe thinks are meant to be like so what do you guys think or feel about the random 153 00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:37,040 comic book panel art thing is so basically for people who are yet to watch the video every now 154 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:43,500 and then there is a freeze frame of something dumb they do on camera and that turns into a comic strip 155 00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:48,819 of some sort it's not movable it's kind of literally just a painting of them and it's very 156 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:56,460 often some characters from like movies or um comic books like this but my favorite character 157 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,300 gay terminator which will also be on instagram uh there's like dracula which makes sense because 158 00:07:01,460 --> 00:07:06,820 romania there's the village people people at some point as well so it's like kind of just 159 00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:12,440 pop culture characters they've been inserted into uh the video what are your thoughts on this uh 160 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,020 impromptu art course i don't think it makes any less sense than anything else in the video so i 161 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,500 think it's fine it's great it's quite a cool effect actually it makes sense in the end i was a bit sort 162 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,240 of when i first sort of watched the thing and what is this i mean feels a bit disjointed but yeah it 163 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,800 obviously makes sense because he's thinking about it and writing about it and drawing about it and 164 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,820 all that um i thought it was actually quite good the way they were done i was thinking about oh i 165 00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:40,480 would i so they must have like obviously drew them after the video because then you know they can 166 00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:45,620 insert them here or there um but i kind of liked it as an effect it was i mean it didn't i don't 167 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:51,200 think it helped that the drawings were a little bit i don't know a little bit shit but um but hey 168 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,280 you know it's fine feels like it was like deviant deviant art fan art um rather than like a professional 169 00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:03,740 like art job maybe that's that's the charm i don't know i do find it quite creative what they did as 170 00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:08,060 in like they could have gone very straight with just rotoscoping something on top but they kind of 171 00:08:08,270 --> 00:08:15,600 did an extra layer of it in if you will like again the gay the gay terminator i makes me laugh 172 00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:21,020 time uh that image will also be posted on instagram but it's basically a terminator 173 00:08:21,420 --> 00:08:28,300 image rotoscoped top of the face of the main character uh main lead singer sorry with a flower 174 00:08:28,780 --> 00:08:34,400 behind his ear and the rainbow flag behind him i definitely like it more than cgi did though 175 00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:40,900 cgi is bad we've got a cgi plane that they're all flying around on uh which at one point turns into 176 00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:46,620 speaker which was interesting but you know if if you if you're going to have a party plane yeah i 177 00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:52,140 actually thought yeah talking about the airplane um i mean like i spotted like four different types 178 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:58,480 of airplane in the in the video so you know nothing nothing has continuity there um but i mean that's 179 00:08:58,540 --> 00:09:02,160 kind of impressive you know i don't think you could probably you know shoot on an airplane like 180 00:09:02,260 --> 00:09:07,600 unless you had obviously enough money and someone who owns one to to do that but i i did love the um 181 00:09:07,660 --> 00:09:12,940 standing on the wing um while the plane clearly isn't moving and um you know getting that effect 182 00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:17,960 across was it just a camera guy underneath the wing running back and forth or did they put him 183 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,340 in like a wheelchair and sort of spin him down i think i let's be honest i think they brought no 184 00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:29,820 no kit they're using whatever the airport's uh been able to provide some part baggage trolley and 185 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,400 someone's waiting to get their cases the the mental image of them doing that is hysterical because one 186 00:09:35,420 --> 00:09:39,120 you've got the band up the top just giving it all that you know giving it the moves and then you've 187 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,480 got the camera guy running or being rolled or whatever down below as well i want to see the 188 00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:47,840 behind the scenes footage of that genuinely think the most of genuinely offensive part of the video 189 00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:54,880 is just the beginning cgi it's just so bad had they completely forgot cgi and just done it all in the 190 00:09:55,180 --> 00:10:02,180 shitty drawings would have been so much fun and kind of like almost witch doctor-esque by the cgi 191 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,080 that start do you mean the city and all that jazz or is it yeah which never appears again it's just 192 00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:11,040 there and then it disappears because they probably run out of money and realize they can't actually 193 00:10:11,180 --> 00:10:15,500 afford to do anything they want to do like ah shit let's just go to an airport and fuck around
