I'm not gonna post the video here (you can check my tumblr for that: https://www.tumblr.com/foone/767254814304419840 ) but for reference, here's what I did to Armageddon (1998)

I'm not gonna post the video here (you can check my tumblr for that: https://www.tumblr.com/foone/767254814304419840 ) but for reference, here's what I did to Armageddon (1998):
This was heavily compressed and resized down to 48x20 or something, then resized back up to 1080p and had the subtitles burnt in. The subtitles are from a different movie (1996's Space Truckers) and are in both 1. Danish and, 2. Comic Sans.
-
The audio was downmixed to mono, resampled to 2000hz, pitch-shifted down a couple octives, then pitch shifted back up, then had aggressive dynamics normalization applied. Backwards, so the louds became louder.
-
It sounds suspiciously similar to what would happen if you dropped a mostly waterproof Bluetooth speaker into a bathtub
-
Now my roommate (who commissioned this project) is asking for a version of the movie that fits on a floppy disk.
Keep in mind that I started from a Blu-ray rip -
so I need to get down to 76kbit/s to encode this whole movie. that's not a good compression rate for a mp3 file, I'm doing a whole MOVIE.
-
it's surprisingly watchable at 1.9mb. No audio, though
-
it turns out all these fancypancy java video uploders don't like it when you try to give them a video that's over a minute long but only 65k
-
@foone What codecs did you end up using? FFmpeg supports some wild ones like A64 multicolor for C64 video.

Final results!
32x16 resolution, 4 FPS, 500 bits/second AV1 coded. Final size: 1.35 megabytes.Here's a hotlinked clip on tumblr, to avoid wasting mastodon bandwidth with stupid:

@foone What did the pitch shifting down and back up change?
I assume it was lossy conversion, and you were looking for a lossy effect, but "lossy" how?
-
@cr1901 I figured It'd at least screw it up somehow, as pitch shifting without time stretching often introduces artifacts
-
@foone Could you share the original AV1 clip on https://0x0.st/?
The link gets me a 2.0 MB GIF file with only 104 frames.

@fontenot I'm not sharing the whole thing, sorry. That's just supposed to be a clip to demonstrate the quality
