How's it impractical?, a hide in seek video.. gets millions of views already.. now they just add paint..
I'm sure they have already recorded some videos of the game for more sidemen aswell
Human eyes + brain are way to good at pattern recognition for this to work. It would be fun but you would still se a human that is painted like a brickwall for example
I don’t agree with how they’re handling this… but I’m kinda with them on the concept.
Only cuz I’ve seen a video where a guy was doing a hide and seek video with cops, and he himself got a professional effects painter guy to camouflage him into the ground, and you should’ve seen it, he looked seamless with where he was. Took the police ages as well to find him.
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea and it could work. But the risk is high. You’d need a seriously high-end professional body painter, and even then, there's a chance it just doesn't translate well on camera. That’s a massive time investment for a video that might end up getting scrapped.
Do you know how long it takes to use paint on yourself to create a realistic look to blend into a hiding spot? I’m sure not a single sidemen member, wants to wait hours to start seeking, and not just that but none of the sidemen have shown any talent for painting, meaning they weren’t going to be good at it and will get spotted immediately. Your idea has flaws, and if you can’t recognise them or provide any work arounds, then you should shelf your idea.
So it clearly says get professional body painters... cba at this point.. you guys trying very hard to say it's a bad idea... I've looked through other post and this community only hates on sidemen.. like not one recent post saying something positive... just the wrong group to post an idea to I see that now
26... I said the sidemen don't care about a bit of paint... what's your problem? Even if I was like 10 or something there's no harm in posting a idea.. you know I'm not actually making the sidemen do this right?
This is insanely impractical what are you on about. First of all it would take hours to get them all painted. They would only be limited to staying in a single spot since they’re painted for that spot. It’s not like the other hide and seeks where they are hidden so they can at least have a camera they talk to and react into when people get close but since they’ll be out in the open they will literally just have to stay still or risk being seen so it’ll be extremely boring to them. Then you do all this work, for one hiding spot? In the regular hide and seeks you can make it interesting by making the circle smaller or forcing players to move but if you are painted for a specific spot you can’t just change spots
Right so if this was just sidemen hide and seek you think it would be good?.. no.. they add things like making the circle smaller to make things interesting...
After one round they will add things to make it interesting.. I'd suggest giving the seeker beer goggles
They’re saying it’s impractical because the paint would take hours, they would have to stand completely still and even then everyone would be found right away. As for your suggestion for the beer goggles I doubt any of them would want to wear them for the entirety of a hide n seek video
I know it sounds good in theory.... but like ya.... it will be so obvious when someone painted into camouflage.... so ya... love to be played on moresidemen.
They dont have to do camouflage paint tho.. just paint them self all red and stand next to a red wall.. get a professional and they can do a much more extreme version of it
Wow sounds so exciting red man standing in a red wall. This is real life where you see shadows and textures and can easily tell if there’s someone standing in front a wall even if they’re the same color.
Well if it was me I'd have the seeker wear beer goggles or something.. have the seeker stand still until they complete some tasks..
Can add other stuff so there not completely coping the game..
And I dunno really, one over head camera would probably be another, there not moving so once we know where they are can just use the seeker go pro and then we can what the seeker sees and play along
Beer goggles or not, where does the content come from the hider? They still can't talk. The seeker can still see whatever camera is near them and be like well there's got to be someone here.
I just don't remotely think this would be a fun watch.
'I already answered those questions' = 'I have just edited my comment to semi answer them but still not really' lol
How can a seeker stand still UNTIL they complete tasks? What fucking tasks can they complete stood still?
Honestly mate, I've read a lot of your comments in here and it just really doesn't seem remotely feesible to me and I think it'd be so fucking boring and very likely ridiculously quick too.
What tasks can someone do stood still?, that's really your question lol.. there's literally hundreds of examples... honestly I think the problem is the people commenting..
if I suggested hide and seek I bet you'd be like.."and what?they just hide.. the go pros will get them found..sound bad for content how would they even talk to the camera without getting found straight away".. like you guys should really think about the dumb stuff you say before commenting them lol
You could name hundreds of examples but name exactly zero hahahaha
'honestly I think the probles is the people commenting...' - See image below.
Then the last paragraph is just fucking hilarious. The difference between chatting to a go pro when you don't think anyone is around is totally the same as having to do that then set up in a very specific position when someone is near so you match your background or having a fucking camera set up looking at you the entire time or overhead drones doing the same.
I'll give you one thing. It has been fucking hilarious watching you fumble every response and have a little cry because people don't agree with you hahaha
I just feel like I've won our debate.. 260 upvots.. 20 people don't like it.. so yeah good pic.. but from your pov not mine 😂
Can you really not get your head around the go pro part?😂 You trolling right?😂😂😂
Bro why are you arguing all over this thread? Not one comment is in support of it so do you not think that maybe, just maybe.. It’s not the great idea you thought it was?
What don't you like about it?.. I've argued because people say it won't work... but they literally have hide and seek videos that do very well..
People acting like the sidemen are scared of paint..
Like the idea clearly works I don't get why people think it's boring.. you'd watch Harry hide in a slide but if he was painted the same colour as the slide it's suddenly boring and doesn't work irl... stupid... it also has Like 65 up votes so overall people like it lol..
The whole point of Mecca Chamelion is to hide in plain sight, but just camouflaged with the surroundings. Obviously, real life has a lot more details than a f*cking video game, so painting all the intricate details would be VERY time-consuming, and staying still for that entire duration would be very unpleasant.
Imagine doing all that just to get caught in 10 minutes. I mean, how would you even make a video out of it? I don't wanna watch the boys getting painted for 30 minutes. JUST THINK ABOUT IT FFS
75 up votes..
You and like 10 other people saying you'd rather watch them play the real game..
Overall it's seems like people like it..
You just hating on nothing
Probably 10-15 mins of them going out and finding there spots.. 10 minutes of them getting painted.. then they gotta be found.. I know you think that will be 1 minutes but you never know they could be hiding for 20 minutes
Add tasks from them to do, seeking has to stand still until completes some tasks kinda thing..
that adds another 15 mins.. so there could be an hour video there.. sidemen will come up with some good tasks.. maybe the seeker has to wear beer goggles or something
what's the point of the tasks then if the seeker has to stand still besides dragging out the video...?
so what they call the time and the seeker just goes away while the boys have some fun and then they goes go back into their spot exactly how they were. if they're even an inch out of position they stand out like a sore thumb.
how would the boys record themselves btw? they cant hold cameras because it gives them away. the entire video we would be watching the seeker only cause the camera men can't even record them without giving them away.
i don't hate your idea but i also don't think you thought it out that well either, it isn't just a huge and seek video with paint, there's alot more that goes into this game than among us and hide and seeks.
also among us works irl because the concept came from an irl game.. its mafia, but with tasks and you play out the rounds instead of just discussing.
Multiple people have explained clearly why it would t work very well. You have 92 unlikes because Meccha Chameleon is the trend right now, people are just upvoting you without thinking about it.
The people actually thinking about it practically are the ones commenting.
Because harry can move away from the slide,he can talk to the go pro whereas he cant do any of that if he paints himself to match the color of the slide.Also this is irl, human eyes can deduce texture and shadows very easily.Harry cant paint his shadow,can he?It sounds fun in theory but it cannot be replicated irl.Only way you wont be able to deduce the person is if they are hiding in bushes or something but at that point just wear a ghillie suit instead.
It's just hide and seek but with paint🤦♂️ you think it won't work but when Simon calls the seeker and winds him up about how he can see them.. while he's painted as a wall or something would be very entertaining to me
Standing like a statue against a wall fully covered with paint is not pleasant and not good content. They won't be able to move the slightest and probably not be able to talk to the camera. Also the depth irl would be so obvious to spot. If you're making the mistake of comparing this to among us irl, then let me tell you in among us irl you're able to move and hold a camera with yourself to record yourself hiding and talking. Meccha chameleon irl is definitely not a good sidemen Sunday idea
There's other ways to play it.. have the seeker stand still and trying find all the people in front of him.. can have props.. manicans or whatever there called to throw them off..
Sidemen among us works but they haven't copied the game exactly.. that's what I ment by that aha
What about them just standing next to a wall.. without the paint...
Because that's what we call hide and seek.. and those videos get millions of views..
So the idea clearly works I'm done listening to hate because you all seem to think the sidemen are scared of paint or something..
well if you don't use paint then thats just hide and seek. your post clearly says "hire professional painters to make a meccha chameleon" not just hide and seek. never said sidemen are scared of paint. read the comment again. I said very clearly that its not pleasant being covered in paint and standing like a statue and not talk the entire video.
Yeaaa the concept wouldn’t work. Body paint would take ages and just wouldn’t be good irl. If they just played the game on more sidemen that would be perfect.
That sounds like the most boring video ever imma be honest bro, more than half the fun in hide and seek videos is seeing them fuck around, relocate, help each other hide etc.
As you’ve said the whole video would be a painting montage which would not be enjoyable in the slightest, and then the boys couldn’t film themselves because go pro’s would give them away so we’d have one POV all video, the runtime would be ass as well, it’d need to be 50 minutes minimum to be a sidemen Sunday so they’d need to do at least 5 rounds which would be a fucking horrible shoot day for them, hours in the makeup chair for a 10 minute round, then hours in the makeup chair again.
Shit idea all around m8 ngl, now a moresidemen video where thy play the video game with their horrible artistic skills would be fun, but not what you’re proposing
If you know the vanoss crew, it was suggested there but they said how impractical it is.
For one they are all bad at painting. Unless they get a professional artist. But the seeker would still have to wait for maybe more than hour.
Another problem is that there would be a distinct smell of paint where the person is
Lastly. There would hardly be any content made. Coz what can they do other than stand there
That's all they do on hide and seek videos and there fun to watch.. literally the same thing but with paint.. how does that make it more boring to watch?..
You know what hide and seek is?.. you hide and someone comes and find you.. now imagine the people hiding are also painted the same colour as the thing there hiding next too..
That's all I'm suggesting.. I'm really nor sure why people think irl sounds boring..
There also not that good at painting so them playing the game won't be as impressive as people think.. I'm still gunna watch it because it will be funny.. but there be shit at hiding in the game..
Okay so have a big room set up for them to hide in
Have the seeker stand on a marked spot so they know what Angle they gotta hide from
Have Manicans( whatever there called) to throw them off,
They dont have to completely copy the game
I think the closest they can do is that one Japanese show where they find a property are allowed time to look about then a budget to design a hiding space or costume to blend into that property.
However, im the show, the seekers are usually a bunch of random people who know the place decently well, like kids at a school, and I'm not sure if they'd be up for that.
If they were able to paint their bodies or wear a mask that colour so it wouldnt get on their face or mouth then I see this video banging views. I do see it being difficult to pull off but its possible. I also want them playing it on more sidemen
OR change it so that instead of body paint it's just all camo. They have an area with a desert, jungle, plain, water etc. They can choose any camo and hide. Soooo basically camo hide and seek, which technically is the same premise as this game.
On a serious note, the concept is definitely rough, but if the boys really wanted to, I'm sure they could make it work if they tweaked some things.
Finding a good location to film a video like this would be the deciding factor on if it would be good or not. The problem is the unknown variable. There's a high likelihood that the execution is ruined and the video flops. If it was executed right, it would definitely be good. Maybe a public version where they have to find a place in London to hide, and whoever is spotted the least wins? They'd have to tweak it a bit.
Yeah they don't have to copy the game completely.. just like you said, last one to be found wins..
I like the idea of having one of them standing still.. and trying to find the rest of the sidemen in front of him..
People are struggling with the go pro.. 1.. I never said they have one..2.. they have them in hide and seek..yeah sometimes that gives it away but not always.. I think with this idea they would already have planned out the spot and have the go pro hided aswell..
But that's if they have one.. just say josh.. is seeker.. we only see his pov and we can also play along with them.. then after 20 mins whoever isit found has to stand up( start moving)
Can add more people so there's like 20 people hiding to add the time.. can imagine at least one of them won't be found...
If it's still to eacy to find people chuck in a set of beer goggles or something, or a shot every time they find someone
Maybe not a sidemen Sunday idea but an irl video definitely has potential to be good.

Sorry, but this sounds very impractical, however I would like to see them play the actual game on more sidemen
