Röyksopp - Remind Me - 4K Restoration

- This restoration presented some unique and interesting challenges. Firstly, the known surviving archive master by Studio H5 is a mixture of both interlaced and progressive scan clips that have been rendered as a single progressive scan source in PAL format. Interlaced video that has been re-encoded as progressive frames in this case wreaks havoc on the AI upscaling algorithm. The surviving master also has a low bitrate audio track of only 136kbps. However, there are multiple releases of this music video. It was included on a promotional DVD that had the audio track encoded at a much more desirable 384kbps. That DVD is in a completely interlaced format that could be interpolated up to 50fps with good quality retention, but its render quality is sub that of the known master, the DVD could even have been a VHS source copy by the looks of it. Furthermore, the DVD contains many different scenes entirely. For example girl trades stocks in an entirely rendered stock exchange vs works in the IT department in the DVD version. Regarding the audio track on that DVD, it unfortunately presents further problems as the promotional release is an entirely different composition that lacks the "remind me" lyrics present during the initial interlude (which I personally prefer how it sounds as well). More problems arise as the song on the music video has its tempo modified from the CD release version of "Remind Me" (Someone Else's Radio Remix) as well as a different tempo than the archive master. I measured the music video release is roughly 0.35% slower tempo than the CD release. So simply audio matching this video with the CD's music is not possible. For this restoration I conceded and combined the first 20 seconds of the master with the remainder being from the promotional release track as the audio track. I would need the original studio audio recordings to properly recreate the initial interlude.
It should also be noted that the original master shows brief nudity during the dressing scene. This has been edited out to comply with CZcams policy.
*Easter Egg at 3:22
Here is a side-by-side comparison video of the pre-release and final release versions of the music video: • Can You Spot All The D... - Hudba
I can see why this was an award winning video!
2024 :)
It's such an iconic video, and even in its own time it was recognized as such. Thanks for this restoration but what a shame that H5 didn't keep their interlaced renders.
I remember being blown away as a kid when this video came out. Such an artful repurposing of the ingraphics style. Thanks to whoever uploaded this.
I'm still waiting for the sequel in Japan! 🗾🎌🇯🇵
Easily one of the greatest music videos ever made. Pure eye candy with an unspoken satirical joke: There's a impossibly massive global system of resource-devouring technology, churning invisibly, just to make it possible for you to go sit in a cubicle.
Nice work. I've looking for cleaned up version for a long time.
Esto es Cine !!!!!
This is Cinema!!
Thanks ROYKSOPP
Probably one of the best music videos I've ever seen.
It's amazing seeing this nowadays remastered. Love the video always forever and love this song.
Thanks to Nightowl for your efforts, excellent result, this clip is an all time favorite of mine. Story and aesthetics are so clearsighted and symptomatic for our age and times. Your amazing work shows, on the other side, what huge problems we have to expect when maintaining a fast growing digital cultural heritage. Keep it going!
Hear Hear!
Your effort is greatly appreciated and illuminating. I never noticed the guy at 3:20 having a pretty rough day at the exchange.
I will always chuckle from the guy on 3:20 upstairs falling like brick and other guy just walks over him
I was looking for someone to point that out
And also how the guy just walks over him like he’s nothing
Wherever I go there's always something to remind me of another place in time. I was missing spending all that time in England.
Amazing video, and a great song from one of the most underrated albums ever
And we can finally read the text! Amazing! :D :o
Yup, This video is pure masterpiece!!
and I am happy my country is 1st in beer consumption and I can confirm I just replayed it like 16 times to read as much as I can and its my 3rd beer while I am doing this..
I just want to say thank you for making this. At work today I saw a diagram of something and it instantly reminded me this song and video and I'm really happy to see that you have restored it in this way. There's always something to remind me.
Thank you so much for restoring this magnificent piece of art.
What a jewel! Thank you so much for rescuing it! 🤩
love this song/video. saw this many many years ago when i was a kid
I didn't know that there was footage of her in the stock market!! 😱
Now i can finally replace that old low Quality version of this videoclip on my Animation Playlist (although i get fond of it at this point)
Man, I thought the same! I think the older CZcams version cuts a bit earlier eh? Timelesss fucking classic. Bravo to this version 🔥
When I saw here sitting at the stock market pit for a moment I thought I had this Mandela Effect but then found an older low quality version where she was in the back office. How come there are two videoclips of the same song?! that completely surprised me.
I very happy to see that someone restorated this beauty
Oh man this is so beautiful THANK YOU
I could cry at how magical the work you've done is! How incredible!
This music video is the Codex Gigas of the end of the 1990's.
I'm just waiting for one individual frame of the video to have The Devil's portrait inserted, tucked into a corner somewhere, as a demanded tribute, once again.
Some other listener mentioned that at 3:20 there is a little dude who throws himself off a balcony, not sure if this counts.
goddamn this is SO cool, ive been looking for YEARS for a decent quality upload. You are doing gods work my friends.
One of my favourite music videos of all time. So glad to see it at this quality.
Excellent work!
I am not familiar with the promo version, so it's cool to see the alternate scenes at the stock exchange. I think I prefer this version more!
(Although the 5 story house is sorely missed haha)
Thank you for this restoration!
Masterpiece. From music to video. Nicely remixed (better than original IMO).
A timeless fav. Thanks! :) x
That's amazing!!! Thank you!!!❤
Amazing job, well done.👍 I absolutely love this masterpiece.✨🎶
good work, it needed it.
Wow! This is amazing work and surprised you don’t have more views!
Your restoration is epic! I remember watch this video but with no good resolution even in 2001. Congrats! And about the 'Easter Egg at 3:22 ', I knew it something was different because I really don't remember that 🙂
Great. Fantastic work.
Thank you very much for this!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
LOVE IT DUDE
Finally.. thanks a lot 👍🏼
Well done 🎉
I love the creativity of this video and I've lived in London most of my life now as of 2022 and I know this is a Spanish company and an independent swedish electronic music based in London in reality! Just is this what you have to do now if you work in the city of London? Already been there,done that and I got the t-shirt □ Only this time around there's no bag holders! The probability is we're a post-industrial knowledge economy moving in a quantum fourth industrial revolution centred around London! In reality, a real-world advanced infrastructure and in place across the entire European continent actually for our contribution towards the global net zero carbon with energy security as standard initiative, as of 2022 and going towards 2050! □
Fair play. Appreciate it!
Thanks👌😁
Idk which version I like better, both of these are great
reminds me of Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream movies
prefer the original for nostalgic reasons but this vision pretty good two
🔴So the Conclusion is - Japan's diagrammatic map is much more complicated ! 🤠
well done.
Melody AM was a fantastic lp, if this version was included on it, would have been perfect.
Correct title is: Röyksopp - Remind Me (Someone Else's remix)
(released 2001/2002) (original version from album is different/slower)
You are doing God's work.
We (genetic throwbacks) love this song since it came out
Hell yeah brother.
The U.K map is a little bit off.
Looks like Manchester is about where you'd find Selby 🏵️
How did you do this? Frame by frame or used some sort of upscaling technique? The video looks exactly like the original. Amazing work
It says in the description that they used an AI upscaler
I really loved this video when I first saw it at a film festival. There was another Röyksopp video (I think it was them) that featured all kinetic typography describing objects in a city involving a story about a couple speeding through the city in a taxi to get to the hospital while the wife was in labor. Does anyone remember the song?
Fixed office hours! Was that a thing, even then?
Hello, thanks for your work! Where did you find this promo DVD?
nice
THANK YOU for preserving this treasure and making it better. Along with such an explanatory description. Have you thought about revisiting it with AI upscaling tech, like Topaz Video AI? Perhaps you can eke out even more quality!
If only the trains arrived together on time lol
Que paso con el video (?) 😢
so fucking genius
1:20 That last house doesn't stack five stories tall like it should.
🥀💜🐽💛⚔️🧡🐸💙🌹
Extraaaa
Any chance you have the full thing that isn't cut? Many on another site or something.
Google for "remind me h5" and you will find the version posted by the H5 Studio.
The vertical pan at 0:36 looks way worse than the rest. I think the original is just vector art, and should be rendered at 4k instead of making something out of the original PAL DVD version with AI sharpening.
It seems the deinterlacing is at fault.
This might have been an error already in the source with the field order being reversed in that particular shot since many other parts of the video are deinterlaced properly. I don't know, it's been ages since I saw it on TV.
But it would be cool if H5 still has the original project files and were given the task to rerender the video in true 4K.
Remaking this was definitely not so easy a caveman could do it
So easy a caveman can do it 😂
