Hey yall! Hope you liked getting a peek behind the curtain for the new starbomb music video! I'm thinking of making an animation analysis video, if you'd like that, or have any other questions about the making of this, let me know in the comments! Ok, bye. The OG music video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWmrXp5nr56NbaM My new MARIO rap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haenqJygd6-BrbM

[@Scrofar]

Would Absolutely eat the heck out of that analysis!

[@alicegm5553]

Dude, this is hands down my favourite Starbomb music video! Your animation is so fun to watch, fantastic job!!

[@sarahsmile8051]

Same! The colors the rhythm the movement everything is so amazing in here!

[@wagon2961]

Geniunely, me too. It's just a work of art.

[@LukeFlavel]

The fact that you never animated in pixel art before this is insane. You captured the essence of those old-school games so well!

[@LankyMF]

I still watch this mv every day just for Arin doing a headspin and stopping on a dime. 10/10

[@Fishtenders]

356 hours and 9 minutes well spent

[@miguelguedes3411]

When the boards came up i completely forgot about the gifs so the skeleton breaking it down with "< arin" on the side just sent me dude. Great video, i have that stupid song and super mario all bars on loop almost the whole damn day on soundcloud, please do more. Have a awesome day!

[@seanzilla22]

The transition between the Mario Teaches Wiping frame to the original sketch absolutely killed me

[@Frostmute19]

This was a lovely look behind the scenes of my most looped video of the last few weeks. The rotoscoped bits are so damn good!

[@randomatorPHD]

Hearing "Cuck Hunt" and " Diarreah Warrior" to the cheery Direct music has me rolling laughing. All these gags that you'd see for mere frames have so much work put into them. Congrats on an amazing video!

[@blakewhite3131]

Dude ive been watching this nonstop, i adore this, like starbomb went "bwoopaddooboopdoo" and you captured that perfectly in visual form

[@pueblos0revolucion]

The live action Arin mouth for Plerm is genius, amazing idea! But thanks also for sharing that full clip here, hopefully it didn’t awaken something…

[@CubixFails]

These were all utterly fantastic, and you did such a great job! Really interesting to see some of the extended versions, and how some of the shots were done!

[@Mushboom37]

The 'secrets that I got from my dad' part of the animation tickles my brain in a perfect way

[@pocket_sized_productions]

Not ONLY is your animation an absolute delight to watch, but this is such a great addition! Love all the details you put in, as well as seeing some of your process. Thanks for making both a stellar hilarious animation, and a fantastic companion video!!

[@DarkDemon259]

Always glad to see Super Plerm getting the attention it deserves. You did such a good job capturing the art style we all know and love

[@laimfunk]

I’ve always loved how you draw the grumps and you were definitely the perfect guy to do this music video. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen from Starbomb

[@kesai1999]

Expert craftsmanship, your work kicks ass

[@CabinetClown]

I loved reading the squark wiki in the actual music video thanks for the attention to detail

[@adamkoltai7629]

Not only was the animation quality so good but there was so much creativity put into each scene

[@cereal3d]

awesome video!! love seeing behind the scenes stuff from animators, also i love that banana bazaar was inspired by the who’s toes are those video

[@CamTheCan]

Love your work man. Congrats on working on this video!! :D

[@MicronOnline]

I have a soft spot for how goofy every person looks in Shigloo's signature silly style so its very neat to see a behind the scenes on all the goofy

[@herosparkyferrum]

You knocked it out of the park with this music video, I'm in uni for animation and your work is insanely inspiring for me. Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes stuff! It's crazy how much effort you put into this, let alone the final product!

[@peppersaltsman6044]

I can't stop watching the music video - not just because the song is a bop, but because the animation is So. Good. It just scratches my brain in a way I can't describe. I love the colors, the way everyone moves, the rotoscoping... I've re watched it at least 20 times and will watch again and again

[@DavidToons]

Dude this was such a fantastic music video, I LOVE behind the scene goodies.

[@thekaiserwarriors998]

This is easily one of the greatest animations made for a music video, you did an award worthy job.

[@ethandeboer103]

The music video was incredible! You are an animation wizard, love seeing this behind the scenes stuff!

[@deadlybaconman4467]

That video rocked! thank you so much for bringing Super Plerm (the super Nintendo remake of a game called Plerm) back into the public eye after all these years!

[@legomojo]

The change of Arin’s facial expression after he gets caught was a good call.😅 That awkward panicked smile is one of the many highlights in the video.

[@octosalias5785]

Thing song is on a loop in my head now, along with the image of Arin dancing and Dan being kicked through a window

[@jessejayjones]

Love your work man, it's so cool seeing all the little doodles and stories that went into that animation. Great work and super excellent BTS video!! 😁

[@FweeAsABird]

Shigloo you're amazing and so is the music video! I have to mention your way of animating Arin is my favorite EVER lol

[@alchemicColored]

as many of the other comments say, yeah this song (and of course also the video alongside it) has been running in my head pretty much nonstop since release. Not Normal About This One. the sheer amount of creativity in each of the games could sate me for months.

[@penumbra75]

I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who had the music video on loop since it dropped. Handily mine, and clearly many others', favorite starbomb video yet! Thank you so much for giving us the inside look!

[@rileyn2983]

Omg thanks for the behind the scenes! I absolutely loved the music video. Might be my favourite animated music video. It's got so many creative ideas, you can tell you spent a long time on it. Tbh I thought Starbomb (maybe it was just Arin that wrote the lyrics, idk) came up with a lot of the ideas while writing the song, because they work so well with the lyrics. To see that you came up with it all by yourself is super impressive. Also I love all the animation of Arin. Hearing that this is similar to Smiling Friends and you worked on it makes me want to watch Smiling Friends for more animation like that.

[@nicholasharvey5628]

Dude, seriously, I love your music video. The expressions were great and it is really impressive that this was your first time doing pixel art animation. Looks like you did it for a while! If anything, nice work on this and Smiling Friends. You freakin' rock!

[@WhiteWerewolfo]

I'm soo glad you made this vid, cause this genuinely had a lot of neat stuff I was curious about and tricks involved! Thank you!

[@cloroker2058]

I love your animations, the music video is easily one of the best and seeing these boards is such a treat!

[@Ghostbusterboy11]

Such an awesome look into how something like this gets made. Thank you for your creative insight!!

[@elliottc-c8777]

As a starting animator, this is SO helpful learning someone else’s process. And from one of the coolest animators on the platform too! Thank you for this, you’re a real one 🫡🫡

[@Wakwise]

The rewatch value is insane when this level of detail is put into an animation, well done

[@missionkittyvideo]

absolutely LOVED getting to hear about some of your process behind making this video...i am absolutely captivated and obsessed with your animation work and i regularly watch the music video. i also really, really love your design for kiara--she's so cute 😭 would absolutely love to see an animation analysis, i'm not an animator by any stretch of the imagination, but i will listen to people talk animation all day long. all your pixel art is stellar and getting to see everything you referenced makes it 100x times funnier to watch...the rotoscoping was brilliant and all your choices give the video so much rewatch value 😭 just absolutely amazing work

[@adammckay3299]

My dude, you have a voice that's really easy to just sit and listen to. Thanks so much for the music video, it's definitely one of my very favourites. I didn't think anything could top Pokemon Smash or Pass but then THIS happened.

[@zanderserrine4935]

I absolutely adore this music video; it's HILARIOUS! I love the style, the jokes and references -- it only improves the song ~

[@Yert2465]

I live for this Video. The way you got Aaron dancing during the synth part is perfect

[@lanapash]

I LOVE the video, you clearly took the time and have long-term respect for these guys!! Genuinely, can't wait to see what other projects your work is featured in.

[@kahlgororo]

truly a great mv, i've watched it so many times since it came out, great job!! i think about the animated arin made out of text on that fake wiki almost every day in complete awe, i love it

[@funkyman7257]

Absolutely, PEAK!!! Video my guy you did an amazing job! :)

[@moodle6500]

That animation is so good, it is genuinely one of the best I've ever seen

[@moriartea897]

Just wanted to say your animation is fantastic. I love going back and watching it.

[@weeblbob233]

Amazing work and thanks for making this. Incredible work.

[@KolMan2000]

The music video shows up on my recommended like every other day and I click on it to rewatch it almost every time. Incredible stuff

[@inamabilis7423]

I already loved this animation but to see the insane amount of professionalism in this production and love and care put into every inch is just so great. Hope you get some rest man, you deserve it and all the love too!

[@bigbossxero]

I've watched ur music video so many times already lol

[@skald2154]

This is like my favorite Starbomb/NSP video of all time, great job!

[@toasterbath574]

This is animation is genuinely amazing I so badly wish I could go back in time and rewatch it for the first time its so good

[@boomerangfishcb]

I really love this video a lot. Superb work, thank you for taking it on!

[@linguini_string]

I NEED TO KNOW: WHAT APP IS TAHT ON 0:35?????

[@נמרודכרמי]

Same

[@Shigloo]

habit tracker i think!

[@amazingfungus9919]

I spent so long looking for a video like this so glad its out

[@wesleyjones4036]

unironically this is one of my. favorite animated videos

[@p4radoxical]

It's been a while since I've seen a music video that I was enamored by enough to keep going back and rewatching! The rotoscoping was just so mesmerizing! :0

[@spinningpeanut]

Bet you wouldn't have guessed that one of the most looped parts for me as an animator is "if you're expecting greatness". Those damn curves got me feeling stuff my god. I hope you maybe do a breakdown of that part, it's one of the most impressive bits of animation in the video.

[@qnteban]

Absolutely love the way your style developed. Working on Smiling Friends and this music video was well deserved. Can't wait for more in the future!

[@G-Major]

Loved the video! The Plerm parts were especially good, with the weird mouth and "painting kirby's face" stuff 👌 I also like how you pre-planned the "stops on a dime" for the break-dancing, that's just good comedic instincts right there

[@kotatsvn]

i would love an animation analysis video for this one ! your art and animation style is so charming and a pleasure to watch, can't wait to see what you make next !!

[@villagemarauder]

I want you to know that this is my favorite music video on all of starbomb, possibly even youtube. Outstanding, sensational, spectacular.

[@Mo_Jamba]

So dope to see everything come together!! there is so much humor in every shot and they fly by in seconds!! it's an assault of joy on my brain 😭

[@mattplays2]

Oh man... this video is total GOLD. Great work man... i hope to see more animations with your style. Love it.

[@Drkonlime]

I've been rewatching this music video every day pretty much since it came out. Phenomenal job! I love your style and humour a ton and wish the best for you. :)

[@Drkonlime]

I also can't stop thinking about "smart fella he felt smarted" lolll

[@cave_art5469]

I love all the experimental techniques used in this one! The text on the wiki and using a deep frier was super smart! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@nekoseys3560]

fantastic mv, immediately my favorite!!! big fan of the dan-nequin reference, made me smile

[@PyroChan]

The song had a vice grip on me, but that is certainly compounded greatly by your GENIUS animation of this super silly song. There is so much I can say I love about this animation but I think I’ll just simplify by saying you just 10000% nailed it. Congratulations and incredible work!

[@IlSharmouta]

I click on that video every time it's recommended dude you did such a fuckin good job

[@loool72]

this is one of the best starbomb songs, congrats on getting to work with them!!

[@Xorked]

really appreciate you breaking it down, great job

[@lordhorses]

I rewatched this a bunch of time great job with the animation!

[@LycanLink]

This was so fun! Thank you for the BtS! I love that the song has the theme from the Mother Brain fight in Super Metroid. It also makes me happy that the nickname for one of my good friends is Squark. I made sure to send him the video day one, because that made me laugh so hard! 😂

[@cobalttj6356]

It's genuinely impressive that you'd never done pixel art animation and it turned out *this* good, awesome job!

[@averyt23]

I rewatched the music video yesterday when I was like rly fucking high, and I must say it’s an amazing experience because literally your video was the only thing I could focus on

[@pixelbro99]

Somebody get this man a medal for putting in all those hours!! 🏅 Or at least a gold KZbin plaque. ✨️ For real, thank you for making this!! 🙇‍♂️ You deserve all the happiness!! 😊

[@s8nlvr]

truly beautiful job. fluid and creative as always

[@yvendous]

Love the circular mouth movement stuff goin on in the Starbomb vid, freakin radddddddddddd

[@lukedoglt]

Loved the music video! Really inspiring to see the behind the scenes

[@Prindlco]

Absolutely loved this video! I am a big fan of all of your work in smiling friends

[@ravenyangluciferinfinite536]

love every single reference and had no idea superplurm actually exists

[@mindoverdevelopment]

I love this animation soooo much

[@Banaanivatkuli]

This might be my favourite animated music video ever, I have a minor in animation and this is really inspiring! So clever and smooth!

[@bvmblii]

I was hoping you would make a video like this!! amazing work man!!

[@galaxyblade111]

I love that a lot of pixel art gets started in excel. That's where I got my start too^^

[@Oomles]

I got the BIGGEST smile when you mentioned petscop omg. Wish it made it in tbh!

[@kirboiii]

This is honestly one of my favorite starbomb animations ever you absolutely cooked on this 🔥

[@Thetenthdoctor24]

The music video really, truly elevated an already great song

[@Jeb.07]

Dude i fucking love your animation and all the different people's projects you've worked on, keep it the hell up 🎉

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

Congrats man!!! That's such an amazing thing you got to do. And you did an amazing job

[@Wapako]

Amazing animation, I loved it

[@hazardousharleigh8332]

I love the insane dedication to the bit about ninja Brian’s eyes lol

[@explodinghammeronthe17thof36]

6:21 i saw a "mario wiki depths" twitter posts referencing a wiki entry literally about toads alimony lol so it's also a reference to something actually official

[@Scrofar]

Good sir, I hope you know you have created one of the BEST animated treats that's been ever put on the internet

[@boarmatter]

Awesomely done!

[@Metronex82]

Awesome job on the video! ive watched it over and over again just for the animation alone. the expressions and cuck hunt get me everytime
