The whole arena of lyric videos is intriguing to me and has been for the past decade or so
Making a video for a song is a big commercial undertaking for most non-professional artists, although shooting a live performance on a phone is all it really takes, people want to edit and stuff
Yet I’ve noticed there’s definitely an appetite for lyric videos, and I personally think that’s a field ready for a lot of future expansion and invention – a fully synthetic video that has timed text, but looks good, and doesn’t have any actual moving video in the normal sense, but is full of synchronisable multimedia (if it knows the tempo of the song, or perhaps even the structure, key sig, style, etc) then it becomes feasible to have a video that (although comprised of simple elements) looks different each time it is played, and different to different people (because parameters etc)
If I could put together a Keynote presentation and have it midi-synced, I’d be able to make nifty cheap videos piece of piss, and so would everyone else
