As any student of Pop Up Video can probably tell you, conveyor belts didnāt factor into it: the walls of the room were on wheels and were moved around the performer; the only digital trickery involved was done to remove shoe scuffs on the floor.
The illusion of conveyor belts was conveyed.
āLondon-based funk/acid jazz movementā LOL!
Do the English have such a distaste for American pop culture that I do for English pop culture? And David Beckhamā¦ is he just on loan from England, or have you left him and the spice girl here in the states?
Of course I dislike American pop culture as well, so donāt take too much offense.
Hmmm, those words do not appear to be in the post. Also, I notice the virtual couches are allowed to intersect one another, which makes them that much more diabolical. To compensate, Virtual Jamiroquai can move backward while walking forward. Amazing!
Awesome
I hate to give away the secret, but, the room moves, not the floor. There was a choroegraphed group behind the scenes moving the whole set. The camera was attached to shoot single point perspective. There more you knowā¦
The sound of Jay Kay getting crushed by a sofa gets me every time.
a) Not a top hat.

****, yes.
[I presume; Iām British, and Welsh, but not English]
Well, I learned something today:
A pity that the animation of the Jay Kay figure is just a simple walk when a hopping, skipping gait that defies apparent physics would be so much cooler.
That said, right now I hate Jay Kay as the embodiment of the failure of early 90s counterculture in the UK.
The character model is all wrong. Itās too tall, itās gait is way too broad, and the hat is fāed up in multiple ways. Firstly, the real had doesnāt have a turned-up brim. Secondly the real hat isnāt tapered down toward the skull, but rather has uniform diameter. Thirdly, the real hat lies much lower on Jamiroquaiās head so that itās barely above his eyes. Fourthly, the real hat is slightly crumpled and very visibly tilted to Jamiroquaiās left side, to the point that you can see corrugations in it in the real music video. Fifthly and finally, the real hat in Jamiroquayās video is much taller (by about 2-3 inches) than the gameās hat, as well as the real hatās brim being much thicker than the videogame hat.
Just by the hat alone this video game fails.
I would love to see your criticism re-composed to conform to the stylistics of Doctor Seuss.
Which has led me to a sudden understanding:
Clearly separated at birth
Also, the musician is Jay Kay - Jamiroquai is the band.
Acid jazz was big in the early 90s; it emerged as a kind of mellow companion to the illegal rave scene.
Iāll have to write a rhyme, I supposeā¦
Perhaps I will come up with one during my local morning (currently itās 2:30AM where I am) and post it here.
His hat is wrong and that is true
Itās wrong, I say, no matter the viewā¦
You have made a perfect start
to producing that kind of art.
The muse can descend without warning
At 2.30 in the morning!
Good night dear @AnonyMouse,
I canāt stay awake, even if I shout
The bed beckons as I weep
Alas, for now, itās time to sleep.
Of course. Heās travelling without moving.
Take heart - all great geniuses are unappreciated in their lifetimes.
Isnāt he moving without traveling?
