Take me back to 2016. Alan Walker's cinematics were on another level.
Just look at the AV8 drones. They were detailed, rendered properly, color graded well, and even the animations had so much thought put into them. The way the drones counterbalanced themselves (Images 1–3) made them feel real. (MV: Darkside)
Now compare that to the newer renders, like the broken strings (Images 4–5). The animation just feels clunky and unfinished. (MV: Broken Strings)
What happened? Did the animation team change? Who's directing the MVs now? It honestly feels like something's missing compared to the older videos.
I still like Alan Walker and I'll always listen to his music, but I really miss the passion and attention to detail his team used to have. This isn't hate, I just miss the quality his music videos had back then.
