There are ludicrously talented videographers who show the behind-the-scenes view of how they created the special effects for a marketing “thirst trap,” or really dynamic and well-edited short film featuring a specific product.

The reference is that this guy is presenting the process as if the end result will be one of those cinematic shorts, but then bazinga, it isn’t.

Finding that rugrats ran to 2004 is crazy. Thats way way too late for rugrats to be in first run are you joking

You should not have been allowed to be playing WoW while Rugrats finale was on thats not fair! Things happened in specific eras! The 360 was announced!!!

Fun fact: for a long while this card was card #1488 in the official mtg card database. I am not making this up. (I ran the math at one point and it’s likely a coincidence but a whopper of one.)

the tl;dr is that that card was printed before magic cards had official card numbers. it's also early enough that it's somewhere around the one thousand four hundredth unique card printed. i figured the people who put the official mtg database together might have used the way cards are numbered now (by colour and then alphabetically within the colour) and doing rough math ended up with invoke prejudice being about card 1480, and there's some wiggle room for the weird unique promo cards that might have been included in the numbering.

this was years ago, so i can't provide exact numbers or systems i used.

Whooping Crabs posted:

the artist wouldn't have had anything to do with the numbering in an official database that came out years later

I'm guessing, but not certain, that you're overestimating how computerized things were at wotc in 1994. Bear in mind this is only 2 years after jpegs were even invented. And the same year Netscape came out.

If they were digitized at all, I bet they were custom metadata files stored in a folder in a hard disk.
