Overall: Article was created 21 August and nominated on the same day. Fine article overall, thanks for your contribution. Regarding the hooks: the piped link to Will Wood (musician) should be updated to link to the article Will Wood directly, as redirects are not allowed. ALT0 is good, but somewhat more vague and mysterious than it is interesting, I think. ALT1 is more interesting, but jargony - I had to go looking through the source to learn what EBSynth is or why it's important. Can the software be omitted from the hook? As a suggestion:

• ALT1a: ... that the music video for "...Well, Better Than the Alternative" uses software to render handmade paintings over live action footage of musician Will Wood?"

@Ivanvector: I agree with your proposed hook, as it is easier to understand than what I wrote. Koopastar (talk) 17:41, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Okay, then approved with hook ALT1a. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:56, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Not sure if you can approve your own hook DimensionalFusion (talk · she/her) 10:42, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Indeed, new review needed for ALT1a. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:09, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Despite @DimensionalFusion:'s claim otherwise, @Ivanvector: was entirely able to approve ALT1a, as it introduces no new information to ALT1. Let's roll.--Launchballer 10:58, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
