....what are you waiting for? spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6Os92p7Tn51EqwqEqXlfjK?si=jOsk2-lVQSatFwb9S9owOQ apple music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/seventyw8-single/1766591840 instrumental+untuned svp: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SqwTySHacBbDZ-vKseYtKt2uOZ7t8sxd i’ll be honest i wasn’t expecting to actually release this song, but then i had the idea for their little pixel art sprites and now we’re here. Q: wow that must’ve been a lot of lipsync animation! (ok this isn’t technically a question but whatever) A: yes and no! these sprites are made of a base layer (head & body), mouth, eyes, and brows. i actually wrote a bit of code to take a spreadsheet of phonemes (which, ok, i DID have to manually type out anyway) and assign each a corresponding mouth and a base (open jaw for vowels, closed for consonants), then save all the frames to a folder. then i just sequenced the images in blender (easiest way) and edited them together with eyes and brows, then did movement + lyrics in after effects! if yall are interested maybe i can do a post about it or smth idk ive already yapped enough THANKS FOR WATCHING lyrics: Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again It’s building up and up until it makes it worth the delay, in a way Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again The satisfaction in this moment’s more than I can convey any day You wanted to realize something you can feel, ah But when you go and break the rules, that’s how you know it’s real (that was stupid) You said you’re just fine without it, not something we need, ah But if you never change, then how will you ever be free? (okay, that was a bit dramatic) Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again (one five four, two five eight, I’m getting dizzy counting) It’s building up and up until it makes it worth the delay, in a way (one sixty six plus thirty one, oh I just can’t get enough) Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again (go again) The satisfaction in this moment’s more than I can convey any day This heightened awareness, isn’t it just so No tether to reality, I cut it long ago My head in the ozone, the planet below There can be too much of a good thing, you’ve got to take it slow I can’t be the only one who sees color in noise and chaos, normal communication Isn’t it ironic that it’s said by someone who once fell in that characterization I should be, with all this repetition, a victim of semantic satiation Isn’t it just perfect how the digits align with brightness, hue, and saturation? Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again It’s building up and up until it makes it worth the delay, in a way Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again The satisfaction in this moment’s more than I can convey any day Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy say Hit replay I’ll wait forever and a day if it means I’m entertained, anyway Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seven remain I wait I’m sure I’m not the only one who has this thing in their brain, can’t explain Pixel perfect precision, red, alpha, green, blue No absence of intensity, only the purest hue (okay…) This contrast in tone looks too good to be true Achromatic restriction, constructed to break through Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again (one five four, two five eight, I’m getting dizzy counting) It’s building up and up until it makes it worth the delay, in a way (one sixty six plus thirty one, oh I just can’t get enough) Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again (go again) The satisfaction in this moment’s more than I can convey any day Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy Wait, go again (one more time) The satisfaction in this moment’s more than I can convey any day
