Thanks! I wanted to do something a little more lighthearted for a change.

Cute! I just wish that you'd gotten rid of the VH1 logo; it's distracting. Oh, and I didn't see the elephant wearing a headdress! I'm glad the Pope John Paul II impersonator is gone, though. That was just embarrassing.

Ah yeah. I considered removing it but it would have meant either a pretty lengthy manual process or cropping it out of the frame along with a large portion of the video. My cover didn't include the bridge since it didn't translate well, so most of that part of the video got cut out (including the elephant). I wanted to make sure to match up the vocal melody in the song to the video. wink

Lol, I likey. Looks like something that'd be on one of those little VideoNow thingies. I wonder how it would look at half frame-rate.

Ha, I can see that. I thought about adjusting frame-rate but didn't want to create any weirdness between the movement in the video and rhythm of the song.

Thanks for watching! smile

This is my previously unreleased cover of "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West. For the video, I used a few rounds of batch processing to get a result that looks a bit like a Game Boy Camera version of the original music video. I first edited the original video for speed and length, then exported each frame into a folder. I used batch processing to reduce the size of each to match the resolution of the Game Boy Camera, then reduced the colors, etc. before using nearest-neighbor upscaling to bring the frames up to 1080p resolution with a frame and border to preserve the aspect ratio.

My processing was based on this link but with the correct starting size of 128x112: http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=8990180
