How Retro TV moves
Retro TV sets your lyrics as text typed out letter by letter, scrolling up like a terminal. Each line cuts to the next. As it plays, the word being sung changes colour. They are set in glowing letters. A 3D CRT television fills the frame and types the lyrics on its glowing screen.
On the beat, and the finish
On the song's hits the lyrics split into red and cyan. A quiet song barely moves it; a drop hits hard. The picture is finished with film grain, dust and scratches. A title card opens the video before the first line and closes it after the last.
Your song in Retro TV
Every word is timed to the vocals, so each one moves when it is sung. Every Look in this style keeps these moves and brings its own picture, colours and type, in 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube and 1:1 for posts. Start from one of its Looks, or let the director design a new Look in this style for your song.
