#172Finally a demo that doesn't make me think "Wow, the web has really caught up to the 1995 desktop!" Maybe if you're already an after-effects wiz this doesn't seem as magical, but it certainly felt like magic to me.
I've clocked many hours into After Effects, but seeing this in a browser and _interactive_ is amazing. Never would I have thought that JS and browsers would progress so much in such a short period of time.
OTOH, it's mainly possible because computers are faster so Javascript isn't a slow language anymore, and the document model is just getting out of the way and letting you manipulate pixels directly.

#174Earlier quoted context omitted.
I thought it was just random goofing off for demo silliness. Was that a serious effort?
That was OK, Go ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Go ) . The song is "WTF?" They're famous for quirky video clips (original for this song is at http://youtu.be/12zJw9varYE ). You should watch http://youtu.be/qybUFnY7Y8w . You'll like it. Trust me.
Ah, these are the guys who did "This Too Shall Pass"? I've been trying to work out who did this song - it's been infuriating me for ages!
Incidentally, you really aught to see how they make music with a car... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MejbOFk7H6c
Re: Seriously.js
#175I know next to nothing about graphics programming but how does this work? I don't suppose there is a Javascript loop that goes through all the pixels on each frame...
Nope. That would be too slow. I tried that a couple years ago before writing Seriously.js, and the big problem was copying around the memory. You have to first draw the video to a canvas, then you have to extract the pixel array from the canvas, loop through all the pixels and then draw the pixels back to the canvas. Now, for a high-definition video at 4 bytes per pixel (RGBA), you're looking at about 3.5MB of memory…
for small videos it's fast enough http://www.barbafan.de/html5video?video=tron

Re: Seriously.js
#177Seriously did nothing for me. Uncaught Not a valid HTML element: EMBED (must be img, video or canvas)
It sounds like you may have a browser addon that's creating an EMBED element as a fallback because the browser can't play the video itself. If that's not the case, do you mind writing a bug issue on github with your browser details? https://github.com/brianchirls/Seriously.js/issues Thanks
Running the latest Chrome on Mac OS X. (btw, realized my initial comment probably came off a little snarky. My apologies. From the sounds of the other comments, it's something incredibly cool!)

The best part to me was that it was actually a pretty good music video, and the interactivity adds to it.
It's OK Go's "WTF": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12zJw9varYE
It was filmed on a green screen for a different effect: Frame layering.

Good questions. It's called Seriously for two reasons: 1) At some point, I had this idea that I would make all my Javascript libraries references to Homestar Runner. http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Seriously 2) "You can do that in a browser? Seriously?!" As for the file size, yeah you're right it's too big. I'm working on a grunt.js build script, and when that's done, I'll break the main file into smaller pieces so you ca…
I'm going to think of it whenever I see something like "You can't do anything serious with JavaScript"
To be honest, the real work is done on the graphics card.
