Hey man! Thanks for the reaction, glad you enjoyed it! To answer your questions, I very recently hired an assistant to help me full time with video edits and I outsource the mixing/mastering of my songs. But post production animation/effects wise I do everything myself, certainly when I released Art of Darkness I was working 100% solo on the video. Ad Infinitum took about 4 solid weeks to edit, but Art of Darkness too me about 18 months around other projects. The traditional hand drawn style of animation in the Bendy videos is MUCH more time intensive than the more motion graphics style used in a video like Ad Infinitum. :)

[@ThePerfectNames]

cool that you reacted

[@hush6149]

Yeah animation is like that, also cool to know you’re an animator!

[@khan-sama8211]

I love that you answered his questions

[@halfdanbach4488]

“Shine through” is a beautiful and emotional song that haven’t really been reacted to by many KZbinrs

[@kizukun001]

Wish more people would see that one, it is a beautiful work.

[@Tozzywozzy01]

Agreed. It's like the fact it was sponsored by Square Enix makes people shy away. Even if it is an "Ad" for the game, the song just works even outside of the context of the game.

[@kizukun001]

@@Tozzywozzy01 prolly the best thing they've sponsored in while. Also frankly as someone's who's dabbled in art, I enjoyed the color formating puns/plays.

[@jbpeony7872]

so I went to school for animation, the bouncing ball is the first thing they ask you to animate to test your fundamentals. Fun little easter egg in the song there

[@leurunner4764]

It's also used for sing along. The ball bounces over the words at the timing they're sung.

[@Namei116]

I find vending machine of love amazing and definitely a must

[@mbahreini9565]

I personally recommend "Shine Through" : ["Slide Into The Void" a scientific rap] ["Shine Through" or "Fragments" (mostly first one) a very inspirational rap] ["Vending Machine Of Love" full of playful words]

[@edvazquez-arizpe7852]

the house always wins. is an oldie but a goodie i think you would enjoy

[@shokvalu8819]

I'd definitely recommend either Fiend Like Me or The Apex as more Stupendium songs, maybe also Vending Machine of Love for it's silly idea although it's a more small title in comparison to the stuff he covers in other songs.

[@ribby9069]

Apex is brilliant

[@kaardbord8199]

The Stipendium does practically everything by himself, though he usually has someone else mix/master the song completely for him. And videos like Art of Darkness usually take him a few months, though I think Art of Darkness itself took a bit over a year.

[@HitTheFloor16]

You're the only person I've seen who caught the steamboat willie reference

[@Dragon7398]

Naturally, all of Stupes' work is awesome. But I'll go ahead and twist things around -- my suggestion for what to watch, after this? Random Encounters, where they did both 'Bendy and the Ink Musical' and 'Bendy and the Wolf'. Two comical songs, based around Bendy, and featuring the one and only MatPat doing vocals.

[@dashdiin]

MY RECOMMENDATION IS IT'S A JOY BY THE STUPENDIUM

[@RandomPerson-fg1jf]

This definitely aged well, as most of The Stupendium's work does, probably because their production quality is so high. I commented something along these lines on the original poll, but I'm pretty sure Art of Darkness was basically a one-person project over 2 years, that The Stupendium did themselves, everything from the lyrics to the production to the video and the animation. As for the next one, I was probably one of the people suggesting 10+, mostly because I meant "any of these" not "all of these". If you made me pick one though, it'd be Fiend Like Me.

[@digitaltrekkie]

I suggest The Data Stream! (And to answer a question you had, Stupendium used to work in animation)

[@playmaxgame8643]

If there is a reaction to Christmas songs with horror villains, then here is the order of their release: A very scary Christmas, Another Horror Holiday, The Fright Before at Christmas, And to all a good fright.

[@flyer3849]

One of my favourites is tune into the madness

[@Sora-md1ye]

If you haven't seen it yet, "Chairman of The Board" is a great display of lyrical genius.

[@martinszeki7108]

Hard to say which to do next maybe Room for improvement or Data Stream

[@CaptainKillroy]

Art of Darkness is my second favorite Stup song. Fiend Like Me is my first. If you want to be impressed by a over the top Stupendium Villain than your going to like it.

[@Lokear]

The one Stupendium video I want you to see the most? Does a series of 4 connected ones count? Because his Christmas ones are pretty good. The first one is A Very Scary Christmas :)

[@umbrella3235]

Another great song Stupendium did is the Among Us song he did with Dan Bull.

[@Cannon2541]

I could never remember where I'd heard the "That's all folks!" before, thanks! The first time I heard it, and the "Keep dreaming!", it made me shiver, you know?

[@nicolaibennett5956]

Stupendium faith vs order/Danbull faith vs order. They have different ending verses.

[@AdderMoray]

Almost literally no one has covered Rogue's Gallery, which has some of Stupendium's best wordplay in it.

[@epicslayerguy99]

also "i need a shrink" and "deliverance was hidden in the Rorschach" are connected, Rorschach test is the ink blob looking thing where they ask about what it looks like to you, also tying back into how most things in the game are misshapen ink creatures

[@daleostrander1642]

Song for Opportunity is an incredibly powerful and emotionally engaging artwork dedicated by Stupe’s olden love for space exploration craft

[@slurpingmario8006]

Death & taxes by the same man himself stupendium

[@hereisaegg3659]

find the keys

[@normalpeoplelikeme]

“I lived for my work but I'd die to stop them.” After learning about William Powell (writer of the Anarchist's Cookbook) I think that line fits him well.

[@sebashernandez2058]

He just did a remaster of "find the keys" about bendy

[@MTG_Scribe]

One that's super underrated is Vending Machine Of Love.

[@ribby9069]

I’d pick Tune Into the Madness if you like the spooky songs ;) It’s so hard to pick one though! All of stupendiums songs are sooo stuffed with references to the games, it’s cool that you know bendy so well so you get all of them! Really like this reaction for the breakdown!

[@Mark73]

I utterly HATE when people do "reaction" videos and do nothing but look at the screen silently and make a few facial expressions. If people are just going to do that, I might as well just go watch the original video again. I want people stopping the video to talk about it.

[@FluffyBlueWolffox]

I love Bendy, Boris, and Alice's styles in the beginning of the "animation" it ain't all that bad.

[@amirrajabinasab3266]

I think you should watch "data stream" next

[@jessicaqueen9591]

A Proper End by Random Encounters featuring The Stupendium and Glorious Purpose by Nerdout featuring The Stupendium.

[@MasterTMO]

I believe I heard somewhere that Stupes has a computer animation background.

[@LowbrowDeluxe]

This was my personal most recommendation for the Stupendium. So uh...the Evee Song by Random Encounters?

[@Dr_Geek]

Yes he does all animation himself and if I recall correctly this video took about a year.

[@oneboreddad1019]

Next recommend: Dan Bull -> Humankind Epic Rap On Stupendium specifically, as a likely curve from the norm I would always recommend Shine Through...more singing than rapping, but the lyricism is still off the charts!

[@Adrian-tg2gu]

porky pig said tha-thats- thats all folks.. atleast i think thats him.. havent seen looney toons in a long time

[@Missmonkey88]

Dude, I'd love to talk Bendy lore with you some day, hehe, I've done a crap ton of deep diving into lore :)

[@jaderush4141]

This was the first video by Stupendium I've seen, and I could not put it down for weeks. I'm still not sure I can, tbh There's something mesmerizing about it, the flow has me in a trance every time

[@kizukun001]

Shine through is a beautiful track n vid. It is for the recent life is strange game. Would love to see your breakdown/interpretation on it.

[@phillipscrimshaw6793]

React to bendy and the ink machine song all eyes on me

[@zeroinfinity5864]

I actually didn't know about the steamboat line

[@blazinalen8409]

Who knows what game the background is from?

[@regalreturn]

I know this is 2 years ago, but I believe it's the background for the hell layer in terraria? I think
