I want to shoutout Nial Ashley (aka Llainwire) for doing this in 2023 as a solo act and doing the visuals himself as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZXg5wVoUU

A shame that kid was slept on. Allegedly (according to discord) he abandoned this because so many artists reached out to have him do this style of mv, instead of wanting to collaborate on music.

Well yes, the visuals are awesome, while the music… isn’t.


I love HN because everyone is so different outside of the core purpose of the site. Sometimes people reference art, or a book or something, that I'd never would think to exist.

Llainwire was my top artist listens throughout 2023, so it’s always funny to bump into reactions that feel totally different from my world/my peers.


This is sooo sick. I’m a total hip hop unc and haven’t caught up for a decade and a half now and I think the music is great as well. Pairs perfectly with the visuals. Hope this guy makes it, a creative one of one.

His stuff is already on repeat. Thanks for the recc, love this site.


You're saying Nial used guassian splatting for his video? Or the style of camerawork, staging, and costuming is similar?

Put another way, is this a scientific comparison or an artistic comparison?


It sounds like to me he [artist] was disappointed that more people were interested in his video editing than his musical efforts.
