Ah, yes. I used the GKLOOP videos as reference for the video menu. The background is the eyes in the box with an animated warp so they follow the same movements as these eyes.
I'll check out all the other clips, I think I've seen all of them but I haven't really used them for anything yet. As soon as my internet decides to behave I'll download the files.

Again, whenever I'm able to work with large files again I'll upload it. Full disclaimer, it's veeeery far from perfect. Basically, the three tapes use the same footage as background, with very few differences, so theoretically, you could put the three videos in sync and, whenever The Gatekeeper is on screen, cut to a different one where he hasn't appeared. The problem is, of course, some interactions overlap and that means there are some ugly crossfades between clouds that don't really make sense. Also, because of the grid warp I used to stretch the footage to 16:9, the sides are way more stretched than the center. This works great in order to keep The Gatekeeper's face from deforming, but the clock gets super stretched in a very inconsistent way. To add to that, the booster tapes are only 45 minutes, so for the first 15 minutes I have nothing to cut to; and they also have the timer placed differently. All of this means you'll probably see the top of The Gatekeeper's hood a bunch of times and the colours and lightning in the area of the timer may not correspond completely with the rest of the frame. But hey, it's better than nothing and good enough for what I'm doing.
