Channel 5 News || Bo Burnham Animatic

[@schmingerfly6436]

I was initially going to comment how awesome and unique the ending was but now I realized the signs on the side in the beginning say "RUN" and "DAM UNSAFE" which makes it so much cooler.

[@VickiiMelissa]

Lol im glad people notice! Haha makes it worth it to work it in there.

[@novigemini4205]

@@VickiiMelissa your foreshadowing was really good

[@Rissa_1322]

weather boy looks tired and deranged and i love. The facial expressions really make this hit so much harder, you've really contributed something to this song. Thank you.

[@gavindheilly3620]

This. Holy shit wow. Thank you.

[@chaneldoesnotexist8864]

Especialy when contrasted with everyone else who looks super happy to sing their segments.

[@alanoshea2159]

You have a severe case of underrated.

[@hadesflynn811]

So does your profile pic. ACTUALLY IM REALLY EXCITED TO FIND ANOTHER STARKID LIKE THIS

[@cassiemoyles4177]

Vouch!

[@personmcguy9840]

I thought max was gonna kill himself, but he actually killed everyone else via stalling

[@CPTXephos]

Damn, This was great! Channel 5 News never gets enough love as one of Bo's songs, and this feels perfect! I know that the comments have spoke on this, but the facial expressions and raw emotion in the movements is phenomenal! Especially for Max, the weather guy. The cold, dead stare into the camera with the eerie half-smile really portrays the gravity of his mindset in the song. My only complaint is that you cut it off with the flood and stopped the music.. It would've been interesting if you kept the flood, but still kept the song fading out as it is in the actual song, as it pans over the destruction of the city... that would add another layer to the story, I suppose. But yes, yes! This was great!

[@VickiiMelissa]

Dakota Fogel thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you taking the time. ☺️

[@CPTXephos]

​@@VickiiMelissa Hey yeah, sure thing! I'm just glad that people that have talent are using that talent to animate underappreciated songs from an amazing ex-comedian! Glad that this somehow ended up in my feed after random hours of just bo burnham comedy routine deepdiving!

[@placeholderblankspace]

I actually found the song cutting off at the flood pretty cool, since it wouldn't make sense for them to say "We're back" because they got wiped out by the flood, but it's art, so we always have different interpretations of it!

[@Superdarkcloud666]

Cutting off the worst part of the song? I think I can live with that.

[@lightningdev897]

You mean you love the idea of Bo Burnham ;)

[@the_corpseis_alive5969]

I thought the song couldn't get better, everyone needs bo burnham to see this. It's the kind of beautiful and new form of animating creating a visual to go with his song so perfectly he'd love it I'm sure of it.

[@VickiiMelissa]

That makes me happy to hear! :)

[@cassiemoyles4177]

He so would! He would probably really appreciate someone putting so much effort in

[@fxntxsyyy]

i literally got chills at the max part all the way until the end. thats insane. this felt like a whole movie

[@VickiiMelissa]

I'm really glad you liked the expirience! :)

[@VirgoVeg]

all the characters are so expressive! i actually really liked them even though i know how dark the song is supposed to be then the holding hands into a hug at the end was really cute

[@SoldierD-]

That’s exactly how I imagined max, good job!

[@fandomfollower5247]

Can we talk about the graphic at 1:07? It’s a graph asking if the news station is doing a good job, and even though way more people answered no (184 to the only 80 who responded yes), yet the bar is much smaller for no. This is a very common trick for news stations to use to trick viewers into thinking something is more or less popular without technically lying about the numbers. Very clever and fitting for Channel 5, and shows the dedication to detail in this animation!

[@Mr.StayPuft]

I want the level of drama that the tortured looking weather guy has

[@raipie07]

You're art style is amazing and the transitions and effects are on point, you really deserve more attention!

this animatic is amazing!! the foreshadowing is amazing of the disaster that happens, the expressions and posing of all the characters is amazing and it's so clear to see how little anyone cares about anything serious that's going on in favor for things that aren't what should be focused on, and even the selfishness od the two main reporters in how they push away the purple coded one. the ending was amazing, truly an awesome animatic, keep up the amazing work, this definitely deserves so so much more attention then what its got already.

[@randomcake1435]

Yeah you think about how the purple one, Chip Walker, and the rouge one, Max Stevens, are, by having names, more important, as well as Max talking about his greed, possibly him being the one that was in charge of Channel 5 News, and yet the blue and purple unnamed ones are the anchors, the focus there. It's interesting.

[@awesomegamer-cv4zf]

Just noticed in the first few seconds there are people protesting a dam being unsafe Foreshadowing.

[@DrewFilms05]

The part with Max always gives me chills

[@nullify24]

This reminds me of the time the governor at the time came to our town and did a segment at our house. It was completely flooded and as they were doing the segment they asked for people's love and support stuff like that. Then they left. They f ing left without helping at all. No fundraiser no nothing Our town had to contact all the local authorities. Mind you it was like 200 people. To clean up the town. Might be a bit exauraded as I was like 5 but I remember the whole town being pissed.

[@medical-cyanide1526]

I love how with the graph “NO” has the majority of the votes but the graph is purposely made to look like Yes is winning

[@randomcake1435]

Max Stevens "The Weather Guy" Chip Walker "The Reporter" Unnamed Blue Unnamed Purple I find it interesting how the 2 unnamed characters are constantly pushing away the more important named characters Maybe it means something maybe it doesn't, idk

[@Yourmother7192]

i do like the weather guy though

[@zenmaster8]

my favorite part i dont see people talking about is the misleading graph bit.

[@guestGoob]

This is by far the best animatic/edit of this song I have seen, the faces and actions perfectly convey the emotions and the setting for that last part is great. 10/10 would pay for a full animation if i could afford it

[@glowinthedarkspider3118]

I know! And the max part gave me absolute chills! The emotions in it, you could see the panic of the others as the studio flooded!

I really love this like all the characters are appealing and give off personality. The news casters kinda remind me of Team Buddy lmao

[@placeholderblankspace]

Wow, okay, like, damn. This is great, and I really love your interpretation of Max in this, that he's always lurking outside ready to destroy the company. He's like the sinister hero just waiting in the shadows instead of just the guy who tries to go off script to say something.

[@joeyt1316]

The dam unsafe forshadowing in the beginning im-

[@pandajesus5052]

I saw this other comment about how you could've ended with the song fading out with shots of the destroyed town, and while that would've been cool, I actually really like how you modified the song at the end and a bit in the middle by adding static (i'm pretty sure). I thought that was a really cool artistic choice and I thought the animations were really well made as well. If you ever want to make a full animation I'll be glad to see it. Otherwise, I'm subscribed and can't wait to see what you do next :)

[@VickiiMelissa]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad other folks like the choice I made. Haha I'll keep practicing! Thanks for the encouragement!

[@somemoron9611]

I love the idea of giving a dam for the end of this song. You did a great job

[@aslandus]

Very nice, I especially enjoy the detail of them claiming that they're the #1 news team while 2/3 of their viewers think they're doing a bad job...

[@celestinebuendia]

Dude, that’s an amazing animatic which I expect to eventually have a couple hundred thousand views. KZbin recommendations be slacking.

[@wakemeupOUTSIDE]

the weather dude looks like J.D. from heathers and I love it

[@HotAlienTea]

That definitely made me feel fear for a moment. I genuinely forgot this was an artists animation of a comedians song making fun of an untrustworthy new station.

[@matthewglennon4326]

Anyone else notice this song uses the same musical motif as "repeat stuff?" Prolly a coincidence, but the two songs both represent a superficiality of a larger network, so maybe having the same musical theme repeat between the songs establishes that connection. Pretty neat if that's the case, especially since the "repeat stuff" motif goes away in the grim ending section.

[@matthewglennon4326]

the motif that I'm talking about isn't rhythmic, but the same notes are used in the chorus of this song and the second half of the verses of "repeat stuff"

[@melovespoon]

"if it bleeds it leads" god that's so powerful. This entire animatic is amazing. I saw this a while ago but never commented, but every time I remember it and come back I love it more and more. You captured the intent of the song in a way I thought only bo would be able to do.

[@moistymilks2817]

I have seen plenty of channel 5 news animations, but this one is the best by far

[@alysmorenocarbonell8584]

best bo edit i've ever seen

[@Insomnia-dr4fk]

I like how the weather guy mentions how he liked his job, and it was fun, I get the feeling that he started hating himself after he realized how fucked he and every one of his coworkers were in the head, and even though he liked it he knew it wasn't good.

[@bobherse1997]

really cool, The bit with the weather man was a clever way to interpret that part of the song

[@ciderneedshelp]

Oh my gosh, I've watched this so much and only just noticed that even though the 'no they aren't doing a good job' bar is the lowest it has the most responses! I love this animatic it has great art and details

100% the best animation for this song and one of my favorite animation

[@novigemini4205]

Gotta say it, this is my favorite representation of this song

[@superboring]

i just understood part of it, Max (the weather guy) is standing on the city dam, when all of a sudden it broke (he might have done it himself) but anyways water is released and floods the whole town

[@ryant4749]

*Absolutely Phenomenal*

[@emmaparadis8342]

This makes me love the song so much more and adds so many awesome visual elements! I love the dam unsafe sign early on, and your characterization of the news team is awesome (I want to murder chip walker). I'm not sure if your recording is different than the one I listen to but if ya did some audio edits when it was shifting to the weather guy it sounded really cool. I think it could've been interesting if the last part of the song that says "we're back" and after that you cut out could've shifted to a series of different news teams doing the same thing as this team was sliced with images of the destroyed remains of this news station. That being said I've watched this like 5 times now and I love this animatic. You've done some really incredible work and I hope you recognize that even if KZbin doesn't.

[@coolrohrer1384]

Less than 100 subs is criminal for a channel as good as thus heck less than 1 mill is criminal for a chanel like this and for this quality of animation this should have more likes and views than gangnam style

I keep on coming back to this, omg this is so amazing. I love the expressions of every person, you can really get a taste of their personality from it. And the foreshadowing is absolutely amazing! Literally foreshadowed in the very first clip. And I like the color scheme too! Each character really embodies each color given to them. Man, I love the expression you gave to Max Stephens! He actually looked like he broke down and gave up. Absolutely astonishing! How long did it take to make this?👏👏👏

Christ this video just makes this song more depressing. Lmfao It's fairly realistic in the sense the "news" anchors always have a smile on their faces telling these lies, propaganda, and fear mongering.
