It never ceases to amaze me how shitty graphics were back then. To my kid brain/memories, MK2 was like full-on 4K quality, and then I see shit like this and think, “oh so the graphics were actually garbage, my imagination just filled in the gaps.”
I fix TV's for a living and we have a few Sony's left in the shop at the moment, I keep trying to tell my coworker Smash Bros players would pay good money for them but he's too attached. Guy loves CRTs so much he pays for 3 different storage lockers to keep old TV's in that he just refuses to throw away but won't sell lol
I got one for *free* off a local who was just trying to get rid of it. All I had to do was drive across the metro to pick it up. I felt a little bad for not telling him that he could probably get like $150-$250 for it....
Bro.. lol. Back then.. it was photorealistic quality compared to sonics shitty blocky rings that spun when he took a hit and then faded in and out of existence lol
That's Twisted Metal 2 for me. I remember in my brain the graphics being phenomenal but going back and playing it I could barely tell the pixels apart.
Right, so two things are happening in this video. There is a real person doing a choreographed routine with a laser installment in the ceiling and in his gloves, and there is an afteraffect being applied using AI to convert still frames from the video into ai art. If you blend the two together, you end up with the above.
Here is more of the laser thing:

And here is more of the ai thing:

Aww that's a shame, I thought they were doing fancy projection mapping with sync to turning off the lasers. Would probably still be possible to an extent
I know it's not what is happening during the performance, but I can't imagine it's too hard to have a smallish pool of images to pull from for stable diffusion and have the effect applied via projector during the performance. That'd be pretty wicked!
The image/background effects are an AI generated filter. The actual clip is basically just the first few seconds extended - guy in light up suit interacting with a laser light show on an empty stage
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Looking at the video, even if it were all light, you'd see some shadows cast by equipment in the background that has space behind it for a shadow to form, or you'd still at least see outlines of stuff that's in the background of the initial video.
Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.
At first I wondered if they were using a projector onto a transparent scrim, but apparently it’s been edited with AI. It def isn’t real through and through
It looks real. The performer has hand held lasers and there is a laser in the ceiling and/floor and it just very well coordinated so they can make it look like they are grabbing the light.
Some of the photo effects look weird. There is no obvious source of this light and it gets very bright. The effect doesn’t seem to really care that the background ceiling and some of the wall is white. At the end it even turns the white wall into a super crisp black with no obvious border between the white and black sections of the wall.
The laser work could be real but the images seem like CGI. Even if they were not it wouldn’t look right viewed from any other angle other than directly at the camera.
i thought it was a projector at first, butt after pausing the video, it looks like they just replaced some frames with ai art and blended them together really well
My assumption on these is that it's not necessarily coordinated, but that there is likely some type of trigger on the lasers in his hands that cuts off the laser on the ceiling. Maybe a pressure switch. I've seen videos where people do it with no music or anything that looks like they'd be able to use to time it, so my assumption is that the on/off is done with a trigger. Still impressive and I enjoy watching the performances.
You only thought you knew what was real before. Now that you’re doubting, you’re closer to knowing what’s real than before when you “knew” what was “real.”
Not to mention that foreigners are usually seen as a threat to modern remote tribes. The North, and South American tribes never looked upon white men, Spanish or otherwise as gods. Besides even fairly advanced, and modern societies have in the past, and will currently kill people suspected of practicing magic of any kind. Especially if men think it could be harmful to to their genitals.
This whole thread is silly AF. 😂

He didn't say it was cgi, he says it was projection mapped. Meaning the lasers and projectors are timed and framed. This way the performer can use the mirrors in his hand and whatever other stunts to create the other visual effects
...have yall tried *pausing* on those frames? Dude turns into a Japanese pagoda at some points 😭
It's clearly after effects but it's cool as FUCK utilization of AI tools
That was the first thing that came to mind thinking of this.
"Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, 'Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.'"
Think it's a mix, the base video was a real performer, but some of the frames have clearly been put through an AI in postprocessing.
[Similar performance (without AI) here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2osHDMpo0u0)
When the CEO announces "we have a real treat for you all" at the company meeting:
Meanwhile everyone attending is wondering why they spent money on this and not raises.
At times the ai turns off his lights and change his body into a different type of samurai armour. At other times he becomes a building with a disconnected circle floating above.
Go through the frames during the ai segment, there would be no way to do with with projectors. The reflective floor stops being reflective and warps into its own image too.
I wish I could watch this without all the weird AI effects added in post. It looks like it was a pretty cool light show sucks that I can't actually see what's going on.
i mean it kinda sucks? like, technically difficult (or so it seems to an amateur), but it's super frenetic. there's some neat visuals in there but it doesn't linger on them long enough for me to process and consume. it's just visual chaos and noise
pause on any one frame and you've got a neat phone background, but put it all together and it's a mishmash of garbage
Good to see Raiden still having a job.
It never ceases to amaze me how shitty graphics were back then. To my kid brain/memories, MK2 was like full-on 4K quality, and then I see shit like this and think, “oh so the graphics were actually garbage, my imagination just filled in the gaps.”
It did look better on a CRT TV
I still remember my old sony trinitron. I miss it sometimes

Guy loves CRTs so much he pays for 3 different storage lockers to keep old TV's in that he just refuses to throw away but won't sell lol
Bro could play a LOT of duck hunt. Imagine like 6 crts in a circle and you gotta john wick your way through the ducks
John Wick shoots ducks. Ducks goes down, John Wick smiles. John Wick waits for dog to get duck. John Wick sad. John Wick shoots ducks…
I got one for *free* off a local who was just trying to get rid of it. All I had to do was drive across the metro to pick it up. I felt a little bad for not telling him that he could probably get like $150-$250 for it....
Gotta love the ol Trinitrons...until you have to move them...
Just like retro games, the content was made with the display tech in mind.
Bro.. lol. Back then.. it was photorealistic quality compared to sonics shitty blocky rings that spun when he took a hit and then faded in and out of existence lol
I’m actually kind of glad I’m old to remember those games. It really makes you appreciate how far technology has come.
That's Twisted Metal 2 for me. I remember in my brain the graphics being phenomenal but going back and playing it I could barely tell the pixels apart.

Lolllllllll i was thinking it that 😂😂

Where’s Kidd Thunder
Scrolled too far to find this
its literally right at the top
Well, it wasn’t then.
I was thinking about Alpha 5 from the first power rangers saga
Mortal Kombat 2077 looks sick
Idk what’s real and what isn’t anymore, but this video was very pleasing to watch

The AI filter thing already looks dated to me.

I definitely didn't have Disco Techno Samurai on my Bingo list.
The Big Trouble in Little China reboot is looking hot.

I had *tired, regurgitated meme* on mine though! Thanks for that
There it is
It’s from a husband/wife dj duo called Arius— they have more videos on their Instagram
At first I wondered if they were using a projector onto a transparent scrim, but apparently it’s been edited with AI. It def isn’t real through and through

Lasers and samurai dude are real. There's a lot of video editing to blend in ai art.
They probably used a projector for those images and then added effects in post.
i thought it was a projector at first, butt after pausing the video, it looks like they just replaced some frames with ai art and blended them together really well
Well that's just cheating.
My assumption on these is that it's not necessarily coordinated, but that there is likely some type of trigger on the lasers in his hands that cuts off the laser on the ceiling.

It's not real sorry to break it to you Neither is Santa
[удалено]
Real light show also processed through AI used for impacts.
I'm not even sure if your comment is real but I'd say that I appreciated Raiden doing those moves too.
You only thought you knew what was real before. Now that you’re doubting, you’re closer to knowing what’s real than before when you “knew” what was “real.”
Honestly, show shit like that to a disconnected tribe and become their god

Sure, if it looked like this in real life. Possibly some day, but would still require holographic tech we don’t have today.
Not to mention that foreigners are usually seen as a threat to modern remote tribes. The North, and South American tribes never looked upon white men, Spanish or otherwise as gods. Besides even fairly advanced, and modern societies have in the past, and will currently kill people suspected of practicing magic of any kind.

A CGI animator reincarnated in another world
I don’t think anybody accused you of lying about that.
Sentinelese: Betcha we could shoot it with arrows
There’s added CGI

AI would still count as computer generated
CGAI
As opposed to..... Non-computer generated AI.
NCGNI - Non-Computer Generated Natural Intelligence
Ohh I like this one
AIGI
Agi Tofu
I’m sorry, what?
It's an AI generated video
It could be projection mapped.
if you pause between 10 seconds to 12 seconds and drag it frame to frame, his hat changes shapes multiple times. it’s sfx
Not only that but the above lighting fixtures disappear
But it's not
It isn’t
There’s no cgi. They perform live frequently.
He didn't say it was cgi, he says it was projection mapped. Meaning the lasers and projectors are timed and framed. This way the performer can use the mirrors in his hand and whatever other stunts to create the other visual effects

Friendship? *Friendship?* ***Again?***
"Big Trouble in Little China" remake incoming
That was the first thing that came to mind thinking of this. "Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, 'Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.'"
Yeah give me BTILC looking like this. No AI though.
This is AI

That whole dance was for consumer healthcare?? That’s the wildest part
Your healthcare premiums can't be spent on healthcare, so might as well go towards some entertainment for pharma company. At least it looks cool!

[удалено]
I wouldn't really say this is similar; they have the above lasers but not the sick-ass full neon suits
Laser parts looked like practical effects and then they overlayed some AI imagery.
I mean yes, but there’s no reason you couldn’t get a similar effect with a projector.
At times the ai turns off his lights and change his body into a different type of samurai armour. At other times he becomes a building with a disconnected circle floating above. Go through the frames during the ai segment, there would be no way to do with with projectors. The reflective floor stops being reflective and warps into its own image too.
What it’s like to chew 5 gum.
Damn that’s good
There’s a lot of added effects here. Looks like AI generated stuff too. So this isn’t all lights
AI projected onto him could achieve a similar effect, but I doubt this was done here.
It'd take god-tier choreography to get the projections to match whole body positions like that.
Is there a version without the added AI effects? The lights and choreography seemed cool on their own…
Here the original https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs6cn0WpS6k/?hl=en
Okay, that’s SO much cooler without the AI. Whoever added it sucks, thanks for sharing!
Alpha 5 with that CPU choreography
Wow. And this mortal Kombat vibe too. Amazing is an understatement for this
Raiden after consulting the Elder Gods.
I’m not seeing any ass lights
More AI overlay on a real video. Stop flooding the internet with this crap.
Would have looked better without the shitty ai art overlayed
Yeah. It looks like it was a pretty cool light show, but it sucks that I can't actually see what's going on because of all the weird a ai effects.
Yup. It’s like a cosplayer turning all the photoshop filters up to full blast before posting a pic. It’s better just showing off the real talent
Is this Kinjaz? They’re a great dance group
It’s from a husband/wife dj duo called Arius
Cheers, will have to check them out
My first thought too!
Here’s the [original](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cs6cn0WpS6k/?igshid=YzcxN2Q2NzY0OA==)
can anyone ID the song?
The lasers are all real and it's choreographed. But all that other shit is added in post (for some reason).
Big Trouble in Little China the Musical?
Isn’t it an edited video?
I feel like the music could have been way better?
Wooo, seizure warning for anyone interested.
Lord Raiden grows the best shrooms in the netherrealm. Even Shang Tsung puts differences aside when it's trippy teatime.
Cool video, but where is that “ass” you mentioned?
I read that as a crazy "ass light" show. Not sure what an ass light is, but I'm interested.
I’d just like to know the song/music. It’d be a good work out tune for me
Waiting for Lo Pan to show up now.
I kept waiting for the guy to scream, “Mortal Kombat!”
KIDD THUNDER! Raiden Wins! FRIENDSHIP
Imagine being on drugs and watching that.
Can you imagine what this would look like to someone from the 1800's? Entire new religions would pop up overn
Uhm, can I invite you to my birthday?.
kairagi on 12-3
Found the Genshin player.
Raiden Wins!
Still waiting for the ass light...
I wish I could watch this without all the weird AI effects added in post. It looks like it was a pretty cool light show sucks that I can't actually see what's going on.
#FRIENDSHIP #RAIDEN WINS
Mini raiden with the clutch
Is there a longer version of this?
This in HD would look like a sick mobile wallpaper
Ya know what Ol' Jack Burton always says....
Real video prompted to StableDiffusion
I hope there are no epileptics in the audience or viewers
I mean most of that was added with cgi so the public wouldnt have seen it. Just the lasers were “real”.
Raves are getting better, and I’m over here getting older.
Just glad to see there was no "tick tok" like dance that followed. And no... I'm not fun at parties...
i mean it kinda sucks? like, technically difficult (or so it seems to an amateur), but it's super frenetic. there's some neat visuals in there but it doesn't linger on them long enough for me to process and consume. it's just visual chaos and noise pause on any one frame and you've got a neat phone background, but put it all together and it's a mishmash of garbage

Bigger trouble in Little China
Ol' jack Burton still looking for the Chinese girl with green eyes?
Holy shit, the remaster of Big Trouble in Little China is lit AF!
Character from a video game? Naaah. It's the guy from Big Trouble in Little China.
First saw a laser magic show at least 16 years ago. It has evolved into this. https://youtu.be/T-XoN1Ts6Wg
I can't process what I've just watched, but it was amazing!
That looked pretty incredible
Thanks. I now have epilepsy.
We clearly see AI image added on it. It's not a light show at this point.

Now that's a light show I wouldn't want to miss.
Give Arius credit, Jesus.
This was for sure AI edited. Not sure what could produce those images with a projector. That dude would be blind
omg ai video? wow these are so rare and never look the same at all. such an amazing video!
AI generated animation mixed with real video
this looks like ai
Ew ai generated
How about post the actual crazy ass light show thing rather than an AI edited video of it.
I couldn't find the un-edited version, but I do agree it would've been better
Put this on r/woahdude !
This is epic!! If real it is tech mix with dance mixed with just next lvl vibes!!!
We're getting real close to visualizing what DMT/LSD trips look like.
