This was easily one of the best self-contained jokes on my first mashup album, and I figured it deserved it’s own brief video. There isn’t much about it’s production to describe.
I took old character art of Diddy Kong from the 90s, and colorized them in Photoshop to look like the even older photographs. I think the combination of the crappy early CG work and the coloration is a real nice effect:
The glorious full pic.
Then I just masked them into the Jack and Diane music video frame by frame, recalling many of the techniques I learned in making JoJo’s Bebop Adventure. Simple, a little time-consuming, and always worth it.
I realized I’d be wise to sit on it until my second album was prep’d (which it finally is). Please look forward!
