Haha! I have to chuckle at anyone who has a problem with the SP video because parts of it don't look "realistic," ie. the background scene as he is driving the car, etc. This video is not meant to show literal reality. It's meant to show how someone performs MINI-MIRACLES with his SUPERPOWERS! It's a fun fantasy. Adam changes the street signal from his car. He fixes the guy's broken car. He quickly provides a new ice cream cone for the little girl. He makes the hydrant go on with a stroke of his hand. It's all magical fun. Nit-picking just takes the joy out of it. Yay! We hit a million and beyond for Superpower! Keep it up! I come from the world of Visual Effects. If The Avengers or Harry Potter (since you mentioned magic) had anything like that, people would be up in arms There was a shot in BoRhap the movie in the recreation of Live Aid where the background had some slight issues, but of course nothing of the magnitude of what is in Superpowers. People who are used to the high production values of, say, Taylor Swift's videos could be taken aback. Again, I think it is intentional, but it can also be misconstrued as "low budget", and from there, as "low quality"... I don't think people are going to get up in arms over this video. If there was something offensive, maybe. If they like it they will play and re-play. If not they will ignore if they are non-fans. People will always find something they don't like. Even Taylor's video was accused of using so many gay stereotypes. Fans will play it over and over again even if they don't like it or if they think there are flaws. I know I would, lol. But have there been any major complaints that have caused concern? SP numbers seem to be moving along very well. I hope that continues.

I think the SP video has a campy quality that allows it to play around with images that are rather kitschy. Like the rocking car and the repeating background. It's a fun romp with a message.

DancyGeorgia Seems like we have both been attacked by the insidious photobucket blur bomb Huh? Sorry, I went to sleep and only just now saw your post. On my laptop, your avatar and mine are there but blurred which I think has something to do with photobucket who hosts my uploaded photo. That is about as far as my investigation got before lights out.

That is about as far as my investigation got before lights out. Oh, it is only blurred on my PC. I looks just fine on my cell. I wonder if they are trying to prompt us to leave PhotoBucket? Wasn't there some reason people are no longer using photobucket for Atop, like they started charging?

I logged back into photobucket, copied the link address again, and re-uploaded it here. Photobucket now has a 250 picture limit on their free account but I'm below that. I copied the image back to my laptop because that was easier firing up one of my old ones. So now I'm back! Still don't know why it went blurry, just logging back in made no difference?!?
