Lifetime Achievement Award - Lemon Demon Fan-Made Music Video

[@ChivoBean]

Imma say this now, this is pretty underrated for the amount of effort that was put into something can be seen in the animation and it’s pretty weird that this isn’t seen by more people

[@livvy94]

Yo everything about this is professional as hell The character design, backgrounds, the _rotation_ Hats off to you

[@Acornwellian]

thanks!!!!!!! im 17

[@livvy94]

@@Acornwellian DAMN keep at it!!

[@thegameartist034]

OK CAN I JUST SAY That ending is GENIUS You had me for the whole animation, it's all truly incredible, BUT THAT ENDING. The way you emphasized the location of the dumpster, didn't show where this person was stopping exactly, then zoomed out and BAM BIG BRIGHT SIGN SAYING 'ARCADE' ON IT, just WOW. Absolutely LOVE the thought put into this, outstanding work!!!!!!

[@oishi_sammich4542]

Also, the Super Sargasso Bros reference made towards Touch-Tone Telephone in the same album. It's a lovely touch as well.

[@Ryanthedoctor11]

So the arcade name references Touch-tone telephone, and the fact that it's an arcade implies it's the same place as Cabinet Man, neat

[@iciclepops]

obligatory engagement comment: im doing everything i can to make this reach out to more ppl for the ALGORITHM wooo lemon dEMON lifetime achievement award fan animation :OOOOOO

[@ricecooker7037]

Cabinet man is a sequel to lifetime achievement award Change my mind.

[@Kelcb_]

Maybe Michel Jackson’s dead body parts were put into an arcade cabinet, then a child who was exposed to madness via the cabinet man grew up and tried to tell people (maybe by calling them on a touch tone telephone) what he saw but no one believes him, but along the way he has also witnessed aliens and he was later abducted by those aliens but he fell in love with one of them, specially one with no eyes, then his world ended, or at least that’s what most people would assume when they were left to die by they’re lover. Then his deceased body was found with strange symbols left from a mysterious otherworldly being. But before he died he was force fed nothing but honey and he was covered in honey and it was sold a hundred years later as a healing substance scam. His ghost went on to take the form of a mongoose that haunted a home for many years. Now ancient aliens is further proof of the existence of aliens. Now this all has happed over the course of about 200 years, meaning technology has advanced quite a bit, so in a Chernobyl type accident a sentient gas is released and hits on girls. Anyway I’m done writing my unified theory that was a mockery of those annoying theorists in every community. If only people could let a story be a story...

[@FiSH-iSH]

@@Kelcb_ i’m legitimately impressed by this.

[@qorbo7908]

I love how my feelings about the celebrity changed as it went on. I thought he looked silly until he started rocking out on the key-tar. And when he went on stage, I honestly felt bad for him. This is how I will visualize this song from now on because of how good it is!

[@Acornwellian]

yeah thats exactly what i was going for!!!!! im glad to hear it :D

[@qorbo7908]

Also, the funniest part of the whole video is when he pounds the low notes on the organ. It makes me chuckle every time!

[@qorbo7908]

The only nitpick i have about this video is the cut between parts towards the beginning. It isn’t the cleanest thing, but it fits the story so much better than the normal song!

[@qorbo7908]

Oh my god I have so much I have to say about this video. I’ll just put all the small things I like in this reply: on the walking on the moon forever part, I love how this implies that this is in fact Michael Jackson, I love how to represented the blood and organs part with records, the lip sync and visualization of the “aunt no way you can hide” is so good I can’t stop watching it, the way he looks in the mirror gives him so much character, at the beginning of the key-tar part when he does that little movement with his legs somehow is really really good, when he slides his hand across the key-tar is very satisfying, when he starts pounding on the key-tar at the end of the solo really emphasizes that he loves what he is doing, the callback after the solo is a very nice touch (when they cross the bridge from the beginning), when he starts falling a part his facial expression is flawless, when the screen goes red it really helps to elevate the intensity of that part, when he throws the glasses away it’s like he is giving up and it’s honestly the saddest part of the whole video, the overall stage fright he has in that same part is very good at conveying that he does not want to be there and also probably wishes that he had not been reincarnated and was happier when he could just play his key-tar, the fact that there are so many dead bodies in the dumpster adds to the story, like he had already failed so many times which could explain why he is so happy, and the fact that you somehow tied it to cabinet man???? Dude, this is really just an amazing animation and I can’t stop watching it! I can’t wait to see more of what you can do :)))

[@chthonicchive8753]

AOUWAWAAWWOOFJODOS!! ❤💖❤❤💖 THE REFERENCE TO CABINET MAN AT THE END WITH THE ARCADE OOOO i love this!!

[@hrtzz_undrskor]

Bruh clam down wtf

[@kiwitchi5053]

never calm down be excited and happy abt everything!! fuck that

[@Alexandra-ip2by]

It’s also the “super sargasso bros” Arcade, which i think is a reference to touch tone telephone

[@tea_3rrors]

there's a harry potter puppet (potter puppet pals), the top of a view-monster, a rotten pear (marketland), a part of a machine (the machine), a skull (when he died), an arm (likely modify), and a brick (man-made object) in the trash.

[@BabbyGGGgG]

@@tea_3rrors holy shit and I thought I was a fan! I literally only got the View Monster reference. Even though I love all those songs! Some of those are a bit of a stretch but I like your spirit. :D Oh and also, what do you think the helmet is about?

Everyone's talking about the arcade in the ending itself, but no one mentions the name of it, super sargasso arcade, which is a refrence to touch-tone telePHONE AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@bloxyycolaman]

the ending arcade makes me think that this leads onto cabinet man ngl

[@jazvasketcher]

oh my god I love everything about this, from the Animation in general, the character design, the timing, pretty much everything! even the little nods to other neil related things is a damn good one (Harry Potter Puppet Pals, View Monster,.......Cabinet Man Teaser at the end???)

Honestly as a huge lemon demon fan I gotta ask, when is the next one?! This was goddam perfect and honestly deserves more views, not even saying that as a cliche but as fact, that this deserves to be seen more! The amount of effort that must of been put into this is astounding, I hope for more in the future.

[@Acornwellian]

im so glad you liked the video!!!! :D i'm working on some other unrelated projects for the time being but id be lying if i said that im not going to do more lemon demon videos in the future lol. to be specific i think i might make one for 300 MB next? and then probably some other songs from Spirit Phone, maybe like. Ancient Aliens or something idk

and touch-tone telephone apparently haha

[@firemannsam]

Considering the lack of a fully animated Lifetime Achievement Award video, and the fact this has so much effort put into while also being a finished animation, and not just a storyboard, it surprises me that this doesn't have double the view count at least.

[@Acornwellian]

Im holding out hope that itll get there one day, still trying to crack the science of making a successful music video lol

[@Acornwellian]

thank you!!! that means a lot to me :D

[@emersonawesome3778]

Fun fact: LAA is actually the LAST track of Spirit Phone. It's supposed to be played after Spiral of Ants, and you can tell this by the same droning ambience being present at the end of Spiral of Ants and the Beginning of Lifetime Achievement Award. Also, if we look into the story of both songs, it paints a very dark picture.

this was so we'll animated and I loved when the characters bounced it was great
