camp lazlo and "The Machine"

i forgot i had written about this on the screenshot blogs' FAQ, so i think i'll make it a post with my updated conclusions as well... so, have you ever wondered what's up with the colors in the HD version of the show?

y'know...

...this?

the first time i had watched the show, it was in pretty bad quality, and i had chalked any color differences up to that. even when i did have access to a few HD episodes, i never really noticed it outside of slinkman being a bit... lighter, mostly due to the fact that everything else was so submerged in Gunk in the first place. as you can see, the "issue" affects almost exclusively the yellows, most notably seen in the sky, or in characters like slinkman or clam, or even in lumpus’s glasses, and characters' eyes in general losing their off-white tint due to this. a quick look at any streaming service that has the show will tell you that almost all "official" distributions have this issue, and often (in)consistently so, at that. it may very well be the only version these services have access to (considering how they often the resources they have access to aren't always the best, which leads to things like episodes out of order or incorrect subtitles). to say the least, it bothers me a lot, especially for someone like me who's very particular about this sort of thing...! (it's sort of the reason i put the screenshot blogs on hold for a while, aside from the fact that it's a bit of a time sink — the issue just stressed me out too much!)

so, what's going on, then? my friends and i had ended up speculating about it for a while, and we had a lot of theories — was it the result of an upscaling process done for streaming services? was it something technical, like issues with the video encoding? did someone in charge of the process simply fuck up? all of the above?! and... most of all, why???

now, i know very little about all the technical stuff, but i've come to believe the most likely explanation is also the most simple one, with a little bit of obscure knowledge on the side... in that, i think it makes the most sense if the colors are fucked up due to The Machine at cartoon network. see, this isn't just an issue with camp lazlo, and there are other CN shows that have been a victim of this too, such as billy and mandy.

and here's what mr. atoms has to say on the topic:

the shows had also both aired their "later" seasons around the same time, circa ~2007-2008, and it explains away a lot of those inconsistencies, too — "It’s also the reason that Mandy’s hair changes from pure yellow to light yellow and back again all the time." in most other shows, the effect this would have is likely a lot more negligible. as one of the main characters, mandy is pointed out a lot as it'd be something you'd notice the most. camp lazlo, on the other hand... is a show where the whole sky is colored a bright yellow.

...definitely one of the worst shows that could've been hit with it.

even so, "The Machine" application is not actually the only state these episodes are stuck in... or rather, i don't think so, at least...?

so as far as i know... (which certainly isn't everything,)

- in order to to accommodate for the transition period from box TVs to flat screen TVs, i believe that camp lazlo, was, in fact, a show that was produced in a widescreen format, so it could be aired in full on new TVs and crop to fit the 4:3 aspect ratio of older ones.

- i am not sure if this inherently means it was also produced in Full HD (1080p).

- as can be confirmed by old recordings (one of the only additional benefits of sites like WCO keeping the old versions around is stuff like this, as annoying as it is trying to find anything else...), both color corrected and un-corrected versions of at least part of the show have aired at some point.

- as far as i'm aware, there is NO version of this show in Full HD with un-corrected colors.

- however, what i do know is that there is a widescreen, non-HD (480p or 720p, i can't remember off the top of my head) version of the show with the un-corrected colors. if you have a bit of a keen eye, you might have noticed it used on foreign variations of the official cartoon network youtube channel for clips. (it had fooled me at first into thinking it was a secret, all correct colors, and Full HD version of the show, but unfortunately this isn't the case.) see, my friends and i went on a little hunt for it for a while, with that detail as our basis, and it is out there... just not on the standard american versions of those services. instead, we had to look at a whole variation of HBO's streaming service itself, HBO GO, of which's entire existence is still currently on the line due to the HBO rebrand. (we have rescued it from there, in case of it becoming lost media of sorts, but due to technical limitations were only able to get it by recording, and thus also still has the HBO logo.) the mere existance of this version is very interesting to me and raises a lot of questions that may also contradict some of my earlier statements.

- and finally, i haven't looked at every set of files there is (as from all the different streaming services) so i actually am not 100% certain if there's actually variation between THOSE as well, and if there is... the situation is even more confusing to me.

i don't know if there will ever be justice for this, or if any victims of The Machine have ever recovered from its Wrath. it's a topic i've gone over dozens of times trying to sort it out, because, i'll be honest... it sort of haunts me.

but there's your little information dump and speculation for the day

Introducing: Bendy the Beetle!

You're most likely asking, "why a beetle?" because I think bugs are underappreciated. Also, making him a Demon felt a bit too on the nose to me.

I've been thinking about pjsk covers of songs by the Stupendium, so here's a list of thoughts (that I plan to add to)

Leo/Need

Do I even need to say Losing My Patients? I feel like Ichika would very obviously slay both the outfit and the vocals. The rest of them absolutely would too, I just feel like Ichika (and Shiho) would be especially great. Give me an Ichika "first day and I'm rarin' to staaaaart" followed by a Shiho "okay, let's look at your chaaaaart."

MORE MORE JUMP!

I feel an intense desire for an MMJ! Vault Number 76. I need it. It's just so very them in a weird way. Like, the first verse is very hopeful, and it does NOT stay that way. I don't know how to say "there's something very Minori about stepping out into a wasteland, expecting to make friends, and then getting shot in the face," in a way that doesn't sound insulting to Minori in one way or another, but I feel like it's true. Also Minori being like "oh hey Haruka! How's it go- please put the gun away please put the gun away" as we see Haruka in her post-apocalypse getup. I also feel like there's something that the barbershop quartet vibe that goes hand in hand with what would make this a good MORE MORE JUMP! song.

Your honor, I would like to present exhibit a.

Imagine this, but it's Haruka Kiritani. I rest my case. (Additionally, I think she would rock these vocals. It sure wouldn't be easy for her - the accent and the song are kind of inseparable, and it goes pretty fast - but idc I want Haruka vocals in this song)

Uh. Vending Machine of Love. I first thought about this one a few hours ago and I haven't thought about it a lot yet. But I was listening to an MMJ! song and was like "this would sound nice in VMOL" so it's an idea now

Vivid BAD SQUAD

The Data Stream. I already did something on this a bit ago and I don't really feel like it right now so I don't have a lot I want to say. But y'know. VBS. Luka. The Data Stream. It feels kinda self explanatory to me, but that might just be because I'm very familiar with the song.

Shine Through? I've only listened to Shine Through once. Tbh most of my VBS songs are just "oh yeah, that would probably be a VBS song" and then I don't think about it any further. Like Impossible Geometry. That seems like it could be a VBS song. Anyway.

Wonderlands x Showtime

Lenenekasa The House Always Wins. Nene The House Always Wins alt. Y'hear me? I honestly have a bunch I could say about this one because I think it's so perfect like Nene House? Nene House? You think she wouldn't slay that? You think Nene would not be the perfect Mr. House?? She would be the perfect Mr. House. And I love it when Tsukasa has to be subtle. Like really I think of it as like a Nene cover with Len and Tsukasa supporting her. Mmmm, but "your safety now provided by the guys at RobCo services" in Len's voice would be yummy... Yeah, Len and Kasa are like the icing on this delicious Nene House cake.

Uh. Tsukasa Why Did I Say Okie Doki?. The end.

A Matter of Factories! I also made a post about this one. Something's very Niccori Survey Team about it to me, like a team sending an astronaut on a mission and they're giving instructions. And the different lines they're given show their personalities, like Emu's got some of the more cheerful lines, and Nene's lines are more direct and to the point. Also, I really like this song for Emu? Because she's typecast as the over the top villains, and because I think she would look cute in the costume. Especially if it was slightly oversized. Wait, Emu Fiend Like Me??? I'm putting a bookmark in that one.

Nightchord at 25:00

Neath!. Each member playing a different character. Kanade would be Honest Bob. Because she doesn't fit any of the other characters personality-wise, and because I think her voice would be beautiful in that verse. Mafuyu would be Byron Brimstone. This one feels natural to me, I don't feel like I need to explain it. We've got Mizuki as our chipper narrator, and Ena as the barmaid! I feel like Mizuki's personality meshes well with Harry's friendly demeanor, but also the fact that he's very secretive. We know next to nothing about him, and almost everything we do know about him is because we inferred it, rather than him telling us - much like a certain Akiyama isn't too keen on opening up about herself to others. And just. Mmmm. Ena as Cassie. There's something tasty about it. Not in a weird way. Idk, I feel like I could give good explanations as to why, but the main reason is just, like, it feels good to me. Also, whoever the Virtual Singer is would be Mr. Pages. Maybe MEIKO or KAITO, but anyone could probably work.

The Ribbon? Perhaps? This is one of those ones where I've been like, "hey, that could be a song for this group" a lot, and not thought anything beyond that.

Other

The tsundere girls would rock Rouge's Gallery harder than it has been rocked by any other tsundere girls before. Don't ask what I'm saying. I'm not sure. Anyway. RIN. ENA. AIRI. They would be so great in this. Like you hear it. You hear the song but with Airi Momoi vocals. It works, right? It's good? Yeah. It's really good. Ik that Shinonome Dad isn't a character that sings or appears in any pjsk songs, but if he could I think he should be the owl. And then Ena has the oh that hurts line.
