I remember being bowled away by the interpolate function in !Paint running on RISC OS 3 when I was a kid, so by comparison this seems like actual magic. It's only a shame that my linux savvy can only just about cope with ./configure; make install.
By the by, does b3tacode™️ offer anything resembling the <code> tag?

Imagine someone trying to pitch Roobarb & Custard nowadays

I’d like to see what kind of terrible unholy mess this would make of Roobarb & Custard

but then it became integral to the show's appeal and slightly frenetic atmosphere.

I'd like to see it on some Harryhausen

But the principle stands.
I can sort-of-see a rationale for the Harryhausen idea, insofar as that he was using stop-motion as a means to try to give us something realistic. But nobody would use stop-motion for that nowadays.

It's the same kind of Train Pulling into a Station 60 fps vandalism that made the Lumière brothers turn in their grave, at 78 rpm

That's a fundamentally different enterprise from what's going on in stop motion.

You can see a blur on a frame or two in the slowed down section. also the pillar occlusion in the first side by side has a weird AI tearing/squiggley look to the outline

His hand disappeared in some frames as he raises it - I noticed there was a problem when he played it normal speed and I noticed distracting problems elsewhere, I just couldn't be bothered to go back and identify them.
Since he's talking about how perfect it is during that sequence, it's surprising he couldn't find any perfect footage to demonstrate it.
Still, it is pretty amazing especially since they just give it away. Just not as perfect as this guy is saying.
