When word made it out recently that VidRhythm was coming to iOS devices, Harmonix was quick to correct those who called it a game. The Rock Band and Dance Central maker wasn’t willing to explain exactly what it meant by that, but it’s much clearer now.
IGN has word on what VidRhythm is, and it’s essentially an app that allows you to easily create a strange sort of music video. It’s almost like the iOS app I Am T-Pain that takes your singing and autotunes it. The difference is that VidRhythm throws in video and limits your contributions to very short clips that are then synchronized and put together to make a song.
“Multi-track a capella videos and other kinds of synchronized ‘video music’ can be really entertaining,” explained Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos. “It’s a young medium with a ton of potential, and there’s been a recent groundswell of creative activity in this area in pop culture. There are a lot of people out there now making video music, and some of the best videos have become big YouTube hits.
