Bad Apple!! but the motion is color coded [Original]

This is my take on Bad Apple where I tried to "make the motion colorful". I like it, and I hope you enjoy it too!
I put a lot of effort into the subtitles. Let me know if they are off at all.
While this is much easier to look at, I still like my earlier version with the bugs more: • Bad Apple!! but it's o...

For those who care, I used a dense optical flow algorithm to show the movement of the edges in the video, with colors corresponding to the direction and the brightness corresponding to the speed. I initially planned to simply make the "movement only" effect, where only the moving edges were visible. But once I got that working, I realized it wasn't very fun to look at alone, so I layered it over the source video with the blending mode "difference".

Bad Apple but you haven’t slept in days

[@Ieatcatnip69]

[@Romanteolel]

[@Nex_Terra]

Every where I go... I see his face...

[@DeathbyProxy]

@@Nex_Terra No escape! :3

[@azaleakoishii143]

Actually looks beautiful with all the colours, kinda like watercolour

[@elijahcorpus3]

I'm kinda surprised that no one has brought up how beautiful 2:59 is

[@TheNimaid]

Thank you! It's one of my favorite parts!

[@ShrekGKSPrivacy]

Fr. The colours go wild in this part.

[@justyouraverageellipsis658]

Honestly can't choose between 2:59 and 3:16, both are so pretty for me

[@Wiillowtree]

My eyes at random times when I stare at something for too long:

[@childrepellent]

as a diabetic when i go low my eyes go really weird and watching this makes me feel low so its trippy as hell

[@izabelanikolopoulou]

Bad apple but it is a screensaver.

[@dizzylimme]

bad apple but you looked at the sun a little too long

[@AnonymouslyFancy]

Alternate titles:
Bad apple but someone is splashing paint all over it
Bad apple but your hallucinating
Bad apple but you never slept

[@pretentiousjackal]

Pastel aesthetic vs Neon aesthetic.

[@RetroNitro_TV]

I love how this somehow makes your brain think its smoother than the normal version at times, im not crazy right?

[@mr.chipotle9716]

Oh so this is what you were trying to achieve in that one vid

[@ninjarc.2715]

👑 Incredible, looks really trippy but beautiful at the same time somehow, you can clearly see that a lot of effort was put into the video, and... the subtitles? Wow! Yeah, subtitles are pretty good as far as I can tell! I'm not an expert (not english nor japanese native speaker sorry :p) but everything looks good to me.
Old version looks really cool too!

[@airleamystery4788]

The maple leaves at 2:06 - 2:12! And omg, the colours turn into wings from 2:14

[@satzukaze]

Bad Apple!! But it's what you see when you imagine it in your head

[@drdca8263]

The last bit with the yin-yang symbol, it seems that the colors are repeated on the opposite side, where the black/white is switched. I imagine that this might be the image being flipped black/white reversing the movement vectors? But that’s just a guess.
But like, the black disc moving in one direction while on the opposite side, the white disc moves in the opposite direction, they leave the same color trail?

[@thescruffinator8830]

The color trail isn't dependent on the color of the image, it's always the same

[@comdnoive]

Bad Apple but my screen is bugged out

[@wans3216]

bad apple but you stared at the sun and now the colors are distorted

[@felipe_sh]

This looks like a moving canvas. Lovely.

[@mm-grifo3218]

bad apple but your screen is broken and full of fingerprints

[@justyouraverageellipsis658]

3:16 - 3:20 has such an ethereal beauty, same goes for 3:28 -3:33

[@tAVROSSS]

Underrated.

[@g-ray4088]

"bad apple but" videos are going to exist until the heat death of the universe i swear to god bruh 💀

[@nexylgabs]

beatiful

[@cngld]

Did anyone else notice the English translation in the captions fits with the lyrics of the original (and it rhymes)? Absolutely brilliant.

[@hell1124]

bad apple but you leave the onion on

[@pastatriforce]

This is so beautiful

[@rryyffeell1674]

It's trippy af

[@alkozavr_evgeniy]

my head hurts

[@CircusSabre]

I had the captions on by accident and damn these lyrics dark as hell

[@CircusSabre]

It wasn't even about apples

[@fia521]

Literally just my eye sight but worse

[@goat-sama]

Nice work

[@TSSmith]

Way better than the last one

[@Pbfg9000]

What I see when i move a flashlight in a dark room and closing my eyes:

[@CrowsWithize]

Oh this looks so good. The trippy other one, unfortunately, has the more views haha

[@JESSJ211]

2:59 - 3:05
POV: you leave a Mac Book on

[@ShrekGKSPrivacy]

Bro this is some good shit to watch when you're high.

[@helloworldmasteredmusic]

One too many benadryl

[@Lotusrootify]

POV: you are that character from undertale that can only see moving things

[@RubyChocoCookie]

Okay, but hear me out... Why does the MV look prettier with colors?

[@froglover4203]

when you rub your eyes at night:

[@helper_bot]

ahh i see what you mean, i thought it was vaporwave

[@skyjumper4097]

is this like a "heatmap" of how much motion there is?

[@kijete]

can you upload a version with only the movement? im curious to see what it looks like

[@TheNimaid]

Yes! czcams.com/video/jl5svxlMJH8/video.html
