Strobing effect used in PSB video

#1 Post by weirdalfan1980 »

I read on the PopArt dvd, says some videos use strobing effect. Now I know someone who is epileptic and when he is around, what videos shouldn't I play?

I know

I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing and Go west (extended)

I dont think so. Its just a nicght club theme using lighting.

I dont think so, strobing effect would only use in colourful computed generated videos.

They're probably referring to the "Yesterday When I Was Mad" video. Lots of dtrobing effects.

That is exactly what I do. I will skip over the ones with all the unnecessary background like "West End Girls' at the beginning. :shifty:

For example 'Its a Sin' does not have those background effects and 'Footsteps' among the few.

They are unique and I do not have any DVD's with such effects. Some are good and some I can do without, such as the background for 'West End Girls'.

When I watch PSB´s videos, I have to get a bit more away from the tv during Yesterday, when I was mad and Go West (extended mix). But I´m usually about 1 m away from it as I use headphones.
