Classic Music Videos in 4K - Blu-ray Forum

Caladriusse · 07-25-2020, 08:11 PM

As a frequent visitor to the karaoke bar, I have on many occasions been disappointed whilst sat in front of an 80" screen to see a 240p music video being played.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Technology Connections - Film: The reason some of the past was in HD
Tom Scott - Why do some remastered videos look awful

Any links much appreciated!

Which ones do you think look the best?

Added Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Eurythmics, Freddie Mercury, Bonnie Tyler, The Police.

Paul McCartney is just a photo montage but looks alright.

The Eurythmics video for ‘Don’t Ask Me Why’ is interesting because whilst most of it looks stunning there are a few parts that show Annie Lennox with a bright white background that look as though they have been captured on a much weaker source. For example at 0:49 and 1:15.

I’m not sure whether that was a technical decision or an artistic decision.

Freddie Mercury Made In Heaven looks great.

The Police looks pretty good.

As for Bonnie Tyler and John Lennon it is pointless watching them in 4k.

Here's some more:

These used to say "Remastered in 4K" in their description but they don't anymore. But you can still watch them in 4K:

Added thanks!

The Police's Everything She Does Is Magic is damn catchy.

Caladriusse · 07-30-2020, 03:18 PM

Added 'Zombie' by The Cranberries.

This has had over a billion views. Didn't know the band were that big worldwide.

An excellent video that looks absolutely gorgeous.

This also gives me hope that many other 90s bands had their videos done on film. I had heard that much of the 90s was taped. Then again The Cranberries's previous album was big, Alanis Morissette's however was not...

Also added Chemical Brothers

Jagged Little Pill is one of the best-selling albums of all time, celebrated its 25th anniversary this year and her new album comes out tomorrow, so there were a lot of tie-ins for them to remaster the videos.

There are also tracks from Rolling Stones At The Max in 4k on Youtube btw

Haha that's awesome! I was just watching the Beat it remaster yesterday wondering if any of Al's parodies had a chance of this

interesting bit in the description:

Quote:

In the new biopic WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story, there’s a scene where we see a clip of the “Eat It” video being played on a TV screen - except it’s actually a “deep fake,” with Al’s face replaced with Daniel Racliffe's (Dan, of course, plays Al in the movie). In order to create that particular scene, the producers had to track down source material that was considerably better quality than the existing standard-definition version. So Yankovic went into his personal video vault and had all the original 16mm film that was shot for the video in 1983 lovingly transferred to 4K. Then, while traveling the country on his 2022 tour, he painstakingly re-edited the video on his laptop, matching the original video frame for frame. The resulting video is not without scratches and artifacts (even in a temperature-controlled storage unit, film will start to degrade after a few decades) but it is exponentially better quality than any version that has ever existed before.
