[00:02] ever asked why does gura have a microphone and you are most likely answering me right now so we can hear her however think about this the history of making concert microphones is to make the mites less and less obvious with a
[00:18] v-trooper performance it would be trivial to just not have the microphone there indeed it takes more effort to model the microphone than to remove it so why did they go to that effort in design there is a concept called
[00:33] skewomorphism where something that was a necessary element in an older iteration of design becomes a decorative element in the current one examples of this is like the save icon looking like a floppy disk a technology that is long vanished
[00:49] disk a technology that is long vanished from common use the way many sites imitate black text on white paper rather than this much saner dark mode however just because we've got a label for it doesn't mean we understand it labels are
[01:04] good for organizing designs but labels are not explanations for an explanation I am going to use a concept introduced to me by the music YouTuber Adam Neely
[01:17] that of accusmatic and non-acumatic music accusmatic music is where there's music accusmatic music is where there's no obvious physical Source while non-assismatic music are forms that are tied to a real Source challenge at the
[01:34] heart of Animation is to sell physicality making drawings that have no math feel like they have weight and they interact with the world in a realistic
[01:46] way even old school Looney Tunes animations set up expectations that things follow the real rules of physics so it is funny when those expectations
[01:58] are subverted in the case ice of gura performing on stage it helps sell the physicality of Guru singing who are shown the mic and you can both see and hear where the singing is coming from and that makes the performance feel more
[02:14] and that makes the performance feel more real and as always thank you for real and as always thank you for watching this this video if you know somebody who would be inclined to watch this type of
[02:30] content please share this video with them I'm sure that that will make them happy it will make me happy and if you're not subscribed please consider subscribing for more of my nonsense thank you very much goodbye
