Basement Busk - Gildedguy Story #3 (Animated Music Video)

[@albertofabris4495]

Honestly, I'm really glad that gilded guy and the other animators have an audience so: friendly, happy with each video, respect .... Here in Italy the quality is low: no animator (that I know) and people are always arguing EVERY video below. I hope this will change a little and I hope that when I begin, I hope, to animate can have a tenth of the kind people who follow you and your skills. Continua così! Sei bravissimo! Ciao dall'Italia! ; )

[@edog9404]

Not only is this video visually outstanding, but there is a whole lot of symbolism that people would easily miss. For example, people who like his work generally leave without supporting as if it were just a simple video. There are other viewers who may otherwise dislike it (no money from them), but "little" fans who stick around are the ones who support his hard work. The penny that disappeared shows how little he earns this way, however, the flower represents the kind praise for it. There are much more secrets in the animation than what I said as well.

[@edog9404]

Nonetheless, great job Gildedguy!

[@restingcatface4947]

[@gildedguy]

Just to clear things up, I don't make money from the views (that ad-revenue goes to the song artists/record label).

Ur words r truly menacing

[@mataschmata]

this is one of the very few things that *always* manages to improve my mood and give me good vibes, usually I find overly happy/cheery stuff to be annoying but this just feels really genuine like you put a piece of yourself and your pride into it. I don't know how accurate this is, but as an artist I've always lived by this concept: all art is "vent" art, it expresses something personal to the artist. you can really feel the exact feelings that went into the work an artist makes. What I'm getting from this one is the joy and pride you feel from your work and getting to make your living with something that makes you so happy, and I get to feel some of that just from watching it.

[@Thormie]

Congratulations on the heart my man

[@Ollivierre-j5]

👍👍👍

[@chronorebel_greatgryffon1312]

This is a great lesson that Gildedguy is telling us. When you're a KZbin animator, it can be hard to make a living because videos take so much time to make. But if you let criticism get to you and you start to get too worried about the money aspect of the job, your art loose its quality and its soul. Remember why you do this in the first place : because it's your passion, and people are here for good animation and nothing else ; in the video, this is what Gilded learn from Penny. You must do it for those that do care, like that squared-mask kid. Thanks, Gildedguy, for this message.

A lot of animated characters are since they look better with the thing in one hand than the other and that changes when they turn around but I think it's intentional here

[@elrak0219]

I can back after a long time to rewatch this incredible animation and I noticed something I didn’t before. At 3:05 Gilded turned the cup around hiding the flower, and revealing the dollar sign. I think here, what this means is that Gilded is turning away from either the joy of creation, or the joy of his fans for money. Later around 5:15, Penny shows Gilded the picture of her when she was younger, possibly showing him her dream of being a vocalist. I think this realigns Gilded’s perspective, “it’s not about the money” I believe. Later, he starts receiving more money for two reasons(I think). One, he’s teamed up with Penny, a well known artist. Two, since he’s not focusing on income, he puts his focus towards the content he’s putting out, improving it and drawing attention. I don’t know what to think about the last scene with the little kid who gave him the flower. It could be an “all for not” kind of thing, but I don’t know how that scene ties with the rest of my “theory” if you will.

[@june-vz4rm]

Just a pure scene of a kid and his idol.

[@JCFrigid]

The kid did not have much to offer, but he looked up to gilded. This shows that Gilded will do his best, even for one poor fan. Also, it could be that it is like all the riches in the world to Gilded when he gets everything from a devoted fan, even when everything is almost nothing.

He do everything so people give him coins but he didn't have much passion and he's forcing people to donate. Thus people refuses to donate him. On the right side,a barret hat with a picture of Penny(the red singer) as a child singing shows her passion for singing. She loves singing and she's able to earn money just by doing what she loves.

Animating is hard; we all know that, and finding someone that makes a *perfect* feel to the animation with music is and knows how to make a feeling of pure coolness is harder to find than animating itself. Anyone can animate, but very few can recreate the atmosphere provided by Gildedguy. Music is great Animation is clean Shading is perfect This is stickfigure animation at it's *best* Keep it up!

[@awesomesausome1557]

Drake that wasn't stick figure animation... It was better

[@Memeicall]

Ayy Yeet

[@onelifegaming3868]

@@Memeicall For real though. It is a whole different level, and honestly deserves so much more than it is getting. People say this is stick figure animation? BULL. THIS IS BETTER THAN ANIME.

[@DrPsychotic]

I love the face on gilded guy when hes like "man i needed that coin, but bringing joy is great... but danget I really need money" this edisode is basically gilded guy learning how to accept money for his creativity and I love it.

[@brokenman4414]

This is outstanding work for an animator who works by himself. Great job on the video!

[@SoapyBubbles]

I agree ^^

Im so agreeding with you

[@thelivingghost5695]

I find it Quite impressive that he's able to find songs that fit his stories so well!

[@RagdollArtwork]

That pianist is having the time of his life.

[@GaLaXy-yh4uj]

Especially when he's smokin

[@skeliepossibly]

I do believe

[@nak8490]

When I first saw him, I was like, "Is that Alfa?" You guys know FLLFFL/Alfa? The pianist looks a lot like Alfa.

[@FoggyOp]

NAK nope. Not at all. I think u are blind :D

[@madelinegonzalez8819]

I love how the contents of his house in the 'drawing' into always change to match whatever the episode it about.

[@hakarneuchiha9612]

Lmao I died when he started to wag the cup in front of the audience xD

[@cyantile5490]

Gilded's got some moves! Great work!

[@lailyutsman3698]

Howdy!

[@papyfun5097]

That moment when you realized Penny was a girl all along and Gildedguy's name was gilded and not glidedguy

[@nathanjereb9944]

*gasp*

[@unidenifiedpasta5005]

*wowzers*

[@iwatchanime0]

I didn't realize penny was a girl until I saw Knight of Desire

[@spider13593]

GILDED?! H WHA HABH HH H HWHA Y H HBH H H H

[@DarkStampede96024]

i thought it was gliderguy at first

[@Lunarthropeishere]

This was top notch indeed, It better get at least above 400,000 views by the end of the week. It showcases about a creators conflict between the love to create and the want for cash nicely.It begins simple, steps up in the middle with some cringe thrown in on Gildedguy's part, than ends gracefully. I loved the part with the kid who is a fan of Gildedguy, it was very touching. Maybe you are planning something with him or maybe not, but if you are, maybe you can have him as a sort of apprentice of Gilded's and name him something along the lines of Tinninglad. Also damn, the chemistry between gilded and the singer dude or girl was great, the sportsmanship between them was strong. Heck, if the singer was a girl, I think the romance between them would be much stronger than if Gilded was with Jade, but that is just me. Anyway, consider your video liked and keep up the good work man.

[@LadonMach]

Huge fan of these animations. Slush Invaders remains my hands down favorite stick figure animation of all time. Be this as it may, it's pretty clear that a lot of improvement is being shown here. The music is always a lot of fun and I've been introduced to a lot of great songs and artists through these animations. Obligatory fanboying outta the way, is Gildedguy's armor actually made of gold? Even if it's just an alloy, that must mean he's really strong what with all the jumping around the guy does. It would explain why the armor doesn't seem extremely durable. That metal ain't made for taking hits. That said, is his power the power to restore his armor to extents? We saw him flashing the singes off it when he fought jade and he can almost instantly meld coins to it.

[@idkJuun]

mose simon Let's just say he can't fight without a sword, but the armour is sort of radioactive.

[@nathanjereb9944]

Same

[@ZzRuanZ]

I wish you came back to the Slush Invaders series, those really got me pumped when i was younger, i used to love them so much, both the games and the animations. But nice job Michael, i've been following the development of this animation a couple of times on your livestreams, and the final result was amazing. Keep up the good work man, cheers!

[@ChadianRoyal]

4:13 I've always loved the animation of Gilded Guy swooshing his cape as he turns here. It's so snappy and fun and it goes so nicely with the song. It's been 8 years and I still adore the animation

[@metagamer2127]

First time I’ve seen stickman animation be actually really impressive

[@ThunderEwokB]

Hah, this animation got hard to me, I literally just passed that point, that barrier I guess all artists are struggling with at the beginning, that one mindset that wont get You anywhere; "I must do it because I need the money", no, You need to not give a damn and be passionate about Your work! Otherwise You'll burn out very quickly and start hating what you do! This got me really good, great work!

[@sleepingknight6591]

this is the most fun ive had watching an animation in a while thanks for the animation its really good

[@seriesmaker3400]

I find it funny how even in this we see how strong gildedguy is as he forgets his strength and sends penny dizzy with how he spun her as it seems he did it with minimal effort, I just like that his strength and capabilities stay consistent through out the story Edit: I also love how it still shows his kind nature as afterwards he did a lil show just for the kid lol

[@grimreaper8521]

I was but a wee lad when I saw this video, it’s how I discovered your channel. I miss those simpler times.

[@cloverus]

Now this is real artwork! I can really feel the way Gildedguy was feeling! 😊. . . . . . I wish I could be one when I grow up. . .

[@MTMiPower]

So thats what GG looks like without his armor. :O Also great animation, keep up the good work! :)

[@Earoist]

You also get to see him in the Slush Invaders game as well.

[@amypaw69]

Earoist Idc about spoilers but when do you find him?

[@Earoist]

Exabyte After beating Luna, the moon level.

[@nickspencerfishingrodd2383]

+Earoist well actually yea u are right

[@enderkaix]

[@macpham7982]

=D this fun

[@groms3034]

👍😆😅😅😅😂😧😳

[@guitan11]

mah man! this was awesome! not only from a technical point of view, but from a story aspect as well. this story really hits home to a lot of us animators. right in the 'kokoro' XD I love ALL the hidden cameos, they where really well integrated (specially the one with a certain blond stickfigure) great job man. the only downside I see to this is: there is no going down. don't you dare make something of less quality. take it from the "one animation per year" guy. always strive for better. also... powermeep, I forgive you for delaying things a bit. it was a very well made intro

[@drisicus]

Hey guitan nice to see you here!

[@gildedguy]

Thank you for the kind words Senor Guitan, I will take them to heart. And yes! Ben did an awesome job with the intro!

[@guitan11]

so when is the next episode coming? :D HA!! asking that, actually feels pretty good XD

[@drisicus]

Hey guitan when is SCF12 coming? :D (sorry but you gave me the best oportunity)

[@drisicus]

By the way it would be cool to see Black and Gildedguy in a video together

[@angeloarens4040]

This says so much about everything I’ve ever lived it’s beautiful Gilded guy is one of the greatest characters ever invented. Also how you show the elemental powers of the characters with Simple icons and beautiful stripes.

[@angeloarens4040]

I can’t stop talking about this stuff

[@mohamedali-yf4jf]

whos like me in 2020 still watching the old stroys ? :3 i gotta say this is some art animation that you can not teach

[@Voidite65]

You know when an animation makes you go "Holy shit..." then its a pretty darn good animation.

[@xenomophskiller2635]

2021 try that mate

[@dallispuryear9997]

I come here from 2021 to rewatch this fine work yet again

[@XxZackAttack27xX]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOU GILDEDGUY. THE COLORS, THE SMOOTHNESS OF THE ANIMATION, AAAAAAAAAAAGGH ITS SO PRETTY I CAN NEVER GET OVER IT.

[@scarbuckscoffee8058]

^Me in a nutshell.^

[@syahwhaz]

you right

[@babydio9080]

This is truly amazing and I would hope to see that you get so much more attention because you deserve it. The smoothness, the meaning, the feeling of the atmosphere, the unique personalities of characters, the designs that are easy to make out and understand, the scenes where certain things pop out, glow, and/or shine, and the amount of detail put into the background, background characters, and shading of almost everything in the environment. There is a lot of love and passion put into these animations! Moins Gildedguy ...

[@Bomb24085]

were is everyone's like u said something beautiful

[@guccini120]

i like how the songs he uses are so unpopular but so good

[@AutumnEdgelord]

Eddy Fisk I FLIPPIN LOVE THE SONGS HE USES IN HIS VIDS Winner, Me and my Drum, Moving in the Dark, Basement, Make a New Dance Up

[@malware9668]

This video is just so wholesome and makes me so ecstatic. I love the flow of this animation which is why I really hate when an ad comes on

[@helvicente]

My son loves on these animations, he wants to be an animator like you, he's only 10 and he can draw masterpieces, I expect him to be an amazing animator.....thank you for giving him an inspiration GildedGuy :D

Super catchy, amazing animation, and overall so beautiful :D Fantastic job, seriously!!

[@mcqndahouz7996]

I’ve watched this animation a million times and never noticed the little Jade plush sitting on gilded guy’s bed. 1:08

[@joannaczarny3289]

Kinda creepy

[@Kurt999]

I watched it the first time and saw that lol

[@perialis2970]

i think what penny shows us is, the best things arent just made with effort, but without passion an innocent goal, nobody will look for it after if its just effort.

[@GrokeytheHunter]

I love you gilded guy. Nothing makes me cry in happiness, but today in my taxi to the airport I started crying just because of how beautiful this is. Please never stop being amazing

[@goldgamer3925]

not gonna lie this guy know how to make every character be so quirky that it is unreal

[@xenxoru3149]
