# Talk:Flashing Lights

Why was the link to the picture from Kanye's Blog of the unseen portion of the music video deleted?  I think this helps explain why we think there is more of the video coming soon.Joe (talk) 00:21, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Deleted text: Some fans believe it is not the entire video due to a previous blog posted on Kanye's site which features a picture from the shoot where nothing even remotely similar appears in the video.ref[http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=191972_-1__0_~0_-1_2_2008_0_0&em3161=&em3281= Kanye West Blog "Flashing Lights" Photo/ref

I am not entirely sure I saw the real version of the 2nd video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-khHitD3OVg) but this hardly is classified as "stop motion animation".  This is simply edited video at best, hardly animation at all.  In fact I think it is a huge stretch to call it "animation" by any means.  If you are going to use the word animation at all, I would recommend the word "pixilation" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixilation).  That is the process of creating animation by using the human body.  Using objects to animate with is called "stop motion".  However, this video isn't really that either, it's more like quickly edited video.

why I didn't find any links to the alternate versions of the vid on the article? --TiagoTiago (talk) 14:42, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

The article has two 'Remixes' sections. This deserves looking into. BobAmnertiopsis∴ChatMe! 06:21, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Why isn't it mentioned in this article? 72.165.115.67 (talk) 02:47, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Because samples generally aren't mentioned - they come under trivia sections, as a rule. I could also say Gil Scott Heron's "On Coming From A Broken Home" samples it too, incidentally.

You might want to include that?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.22.116.230 (talk) 18:28, 21 June 2010 (UTC) 

Jeeez, this section is mind-numbing.  Do we really need such a detailed week-by-week analysis? - eo (talk) 15:55, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
