Juggletween is 20 years old today

It was an early experiment in collaborative juggling video creation, a year before youtube existed. Jugglers from around the world were given secret instructions on how to start/end their clips without knowing who else was involved or what they were filming. I then collected the clips and assembled them into the final video.

The rec.juggling post announcing the video:

The video is still available on juggling.tv (I can't put it on youtube due to copyright music):

It's interesting to watch it now, partly to see how far the standard of internet juggling has risen, but also to see how much the technology has changed. 20 years ago, people were still shooting interlaced pal/ntsc video on camcorders.

I had a real struggle deinterlacing the clips 20 years ago, and I think I'd make a better job of it today... but I've been through my archives and unfortunately I can't find the original clips.

So it is what it is... happy birthday juggletween!

Funny, I've just been de-interlacing an almost 20-year old video for a pal.

That was a fun rewatch/reread. (I seem to have been surprisingly quiet at the time.) I remember JTween II(*) being lots of fun too. These videos later inspired me to make a kendamatween (Ooh, was that 9 years ago now? Coo.), albeit with only 3 people...

...so thanks again.

Anyway, happy birthday.

I'm fine thanks for asking

I actually remember most of that!

I enjoyed the WJVF around the same era too. I think because it was so much more of an effort for creators back then I appreciated them more.

Thanks for your efforts back then, I consider you a giant upon which the yoof of today stand.

Out of interest though: what type of biscuit went into the process?

Hard to say for sure, but they were most likely own brand plain chocolate digestives paired with a strong cheddar

I read something recently about youtube and an AI to remove copyrighted music. I can't recall if it was ready yet or not, but when it is that might help

sorry, I wish I could remember more details and even a link to paste for you

I remember liking the idea and the video though and thought some of the transitions were quite clever.

I can replace the audio easily, but then it’s not the same video…

True

And of course… if I changed the music MK ringing the doorbell wouldn’t line up quite so perfectly 😀
