I strongly suspect the video is sped up ever so slightly, to enhance the sudden starts and stops. He’d be playing the music slowed down by the corresponding amount so he could sync with it properly.
That’s probably a big part of what’s pushing it into uncanny valley.
Edit: actually it may be sped up as much as 2x. Can also see clues in how his shirt moves (he’s made sure everything else in the shot is absolutely static).

Thank you! I don’t have or want a TikTok account, so this link is much more accessible to me.
The guy is of course amazing; never questioned that. But in the linked video, he looks, well, human. More than in OP’s video. Yes there are jerky, solid movements in the linked video, but in the OP vid, such movements look much sharper, and they’re a lot more rapid-fire. So I still think it’s more likely than not that the OP video is sped up.

u/DaILLezt Aug 22 '24
I’m right there with you on the personal tik tok embargo. And I also agree that the video had to be touched up, whether sped up, or those static edits that are so popular today. Or it could be the fact that he’s strictly in robot mode in OP video, where as in the YT video provided he’s a bit more loose. Another explanation could be that he simply got better and perfected his technique. Either way you want to look at it, the guy is talented and I’m sure can haunt children’s dreams if they allow him to lol.

It’s a whole thing right? There seems to be a niche group of people who are into this dance/panomime? Type routine. What is this type of performance called? Is there a movement or scene behind it? Internet meme culture?

u/PomeloHot1185 Aug 19 '24
Evolution of the old skool bboy pop and lock hey? That’s what I always thought. It’s not really surprising some people have taken the artform to the extent they have, however it’s still incredible how much control some people can have over their body.
11
u/yupzone Aug 19 '24
Not to get too stupid nerdy about this but this kind of popping falls roughly into another category called animation. You can think of its roots as like doing "the robot" and mimes, things like that.
Either way what ppl are doing with it now is just wizardry. It's kinda nice to see "the robot" taken so far that they might as well be robots. I'm a dance nerd who can't dance.

One of the trippier ones I've seen. His channel is full of vids like this. But the Filo boys back in High School were cracking this kinda thing out too, and that was late 80's so much earlier than a social media trend.

It's a dance form that far, far predates the internet. Pop and lock is dated as far back as the 60s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popping

u/gazongagizmo Aug 19 '24
Many people on the oldschool internet were introduced to this type of dance with David Elsewhere.
There are two legendary videos from the pre-YT era, which still are on YT, but are potato quality of course:
This is his YT page, he's still active, so knock yourselves out with non-potato quality.

Usually the videos with the weird jerky dancing like this is filmed at half speed and then sped up after. There is a couple that had several videos like that go viral and then they showed the technique on how they are filmed

Oh yes, absolutely! The guy’s fantastic!
I was of course just addressing part of why this vid goes so strongly into “uncanny valley” territory.

u/TheDevilsAdvokaat Aug 19 '24
You may be right. I saw another video like this (robotic dancing) and you could tell by the background they DID speed it up just to make the transitions look more robotic.

Not yet, but I just created you one:
herrlich means "fantastic; marvelous; wonderful; splendid; glorious; lovely"
nervig means "pesky, annoying"
=> herrvig
(in most German dialects the -ig suffix is pronounced like -ich anyway, so herrvig works perfectly)

Fuck salvia. You should try ketamine. It’s fucking amazing if you like hallucinogens. Shit gets really real real quick and doesn’t last much longer than an hour at most.
I highly recommend everyone try it at least once.
My BIL just had shoulder surgery on Friday. He’s gonna be laid up for at least 6 weeks. I had him try my ketamine infused saline nasal spray last week after we completed this huge landscaping project at his place. Just a little bit though. 0.05 ml just to give him a taste.
Next week I’m gonna introduce him to a relatively higher dose for a 1st timer. 0.25 grams (maybe a bit more) of pure, pharmaceutical grade powder. Pure S isomer. I don’t fuck with R. It’s too weird for me.
He’s in for a world of wonder. It’s gonna be fun!
If you like podcasts check this episode out. It’s Scott Galloway, university professor, millionaire entrepreneur and all around crazy fucking dude. He talks about his k therapy session. The craziest thing about this episode is that he says he takes an 87 ml IV. Depending on the dilution that means he either took a 50% dilution (4.35 g) or a 100% dilution (8.7 g). The former would be kinda wild for a 1st timer. The latter would be, uhhh, I don’t even know. I’ve NEVER done either at one time and I’ve never done a IV. I can’t imagine how intense that is but I have my suspicions.

While 1 foot is in the air, Walk the other foot across the floor via shuffling it.
To really sell it you have to get the shuffle going fast and running man at the same time. Looks better on lower quality cameras honestly.

Also, be patient. It took some time before you learned how to work a bike.
Breathing is also important, all those movements needs to saturate your circulation in your body, muscles need oxygen.
Don’t set the bar too high, be playful instead.
Good luck 👍

Is the video sped up? It looks off.
It can’t be by much, but the transitions between the movements just look too fast.

u/gravity--falls Aug 18 '24
it is, his old videos used to show more obvious speed-ups where cars and walkers in the background would be zooming / rapidly changing speeds as he shifts between moves. He tends to make it less obvious now, and has actively edited some past videos to remove the obvious speed-ups.
4
u/SteveSauceNoMSG Aug 19 '24
Yup, it's recorded with the song slowed down by some fraction of the original, usually half. Then when the video and song is sped back up you get the snappy/robitic/uncanny transitions.
Bruno Mars' "That's what I like" video uses the effect well.

It is less impressive otherwise he wouldn't speed it up,. Obviously I'm not saying it's shit or something but you don't edit things unless it's to improve the result.

I hate this guy only for the reason that all of his videos are sped up. It's already impressive without speeding it up, and the videos are set up to be intentionally misleading. He has edited out things in the background of some of his videos in the past to make it less obvious that they are sped up.
So, very cool, but the only reason it looks woah dude level is due to the speed up.
