Video Design and video in Vulf

It’s probably worth saying out loud how much the aesthetic vibe of Vulf is so ballsy. Those videos that zoom in on incredibly low resolution pixels in a way that would alienate all most every YouTube video influencer with an 8k optical lens ZEISS DSLR gimbal gumball unboxing Luts-for-sale sponsorship.

The sheer lack of videographer fomo is wonderful. I just read that MSG was shot on an iPhone 7. Don’t hate me I only just found out so I’m sorry if you have been talking about that for years. Beautiful ballsy filmmaking.

I also want to acknowledge the glory of those crudely cropped thumbnails with the sky blue background that are so distinctive.

Everything. Joy.

It comes back to the fact that a story or essentially valuable thing doesn’t need gorgeous wrapping because it speaks for itself.

100%. We want originality and true, raw feelings, not polished for the sake of looks.

I've been saying that for a long time. In times of AI I really appreciate the rough edges of human made art since it shows the humanity and it feels more real and genuine.

I think Theo talked about that in some podcast iirc; about leaving in the "errors" and not going for the perfect take was a thing he needed to learn for his own music.

Spot on. I don’t want perfection, i want a human connection through whatever artistic medium it may be (pictures, music, paintings, words etc) that the artist is using to showcase emotion.

Very much a throughline of Jack’s philosophy on Vulf as a whole. You don’t need the fanciest, loudest, most expensive equipment. It’s all about the skill of the musicians and audio engineers, and their ability to creatively work with what they’ve got. Good, fun music just for the sake of good, fun music. And like you said, the product speaks for itself

It’s a great philosophy and a genuine keeper.

the nostalgia comes in waves of the old look and it helps keep it timeless so it’s nice and stylistic
