how I animated a STARBOMB music video

[@Shigloo]

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!

[@blanova9689]

hey what do you use to draw

[@mariodrawer1238]

Gotta say that's very good for first time animating pixel art

[@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

[@twitchywitchy_lilo9458]

My favorite scene is Arin walking with the computer saying how it’s top secret! Something about the beat picking up with him bouncing to it is really fun to watch 🤙

[@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!

[@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…

[@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!

[@blakewhite3131]

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

[@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!

[@seanzilla22]

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

[@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!

[@ShadowMario2000]

I also noticed during the section where Plerm was being drawn, it was a reference to the original Kirby animated show's credits where they teach you step by step how to draw Kirby, starting with the circle. Love that throwback.

[@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

[@bee4no2]

2:15 YES!!! I KNEW IT!!!

[@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

[@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

[@CamTheCan]

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

[@Mushboom37]

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

[@thekaiserwarriors998]

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

[@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.

[@twitchywitchy_lilo9458]

I’m absolutely hooked on this animation!!! As an animator watching the behind scenes made me fangirl! It’s really interesting seeing what inspires you and how you were able to put it in the animation. The amount of details you put in like animating pixels for the first time and using text is really cool!! Good job dude 🐛🩷🩷🩷

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@CabinetClown]

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

[@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.

[@ethandeboer103]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@honeycombc]

I said this in the comments of the official video, but I genuinely think this is one if my favourite music videos ever. It’s so creative and funny and impressive. Genuinely fantastic work!!!

[@kylepantoja-KP]

I actually paused and read the Squark wiki in the video when it came out. A very funny read. You did a great job on the whole video

[@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!

[@frickinfrick8488]

The attention to detail is so good! Thank you for sharing all the bts details and inspiration, this is awesome.

[@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!! 😁

[@DavidToons]

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

[@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!

[@adamkoltai7629]

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

[@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

[@GWConspiracy]

You did rad with the MV!! Love the style and the color palettes. This behind-the-scenes adds to my appreciation even more!

[@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

[@cloroker2058]

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

[@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.

[@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 🫡🫡

[@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!

[@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.

[@robbey43]

The Dan'nequin is my favorite, cuz its such a little but cool reference to the old NSP stuff, love it!

[@kesai1999]

Expert craftsmanship, your work kicks ass

[@Wakwise]

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

[@OriSync]

I hate how unironically hard this song goes, because it keeps getting stuck in my head. Definitely keep this up, like seriously

[@dalibar]

I've watched this music video so much, your animations are just so fun and smooth. I love the mix of so many things like rotoscoping, pixel animations, text animations, etc. You did such a great job! Something about the style and movements in the video, particularly the section with Ninja Brian's sick neck dodges, remind me of a game called Headbangers: Rhythm Royale. Just the level of silliness with how polished it is is so fun!

[@moodle6500]

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

[@Ghostbusterboy11]

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

[@DeathJerrie]

Your animation made me laugh out loud multiple times, watched the music video a lot for a few days because of the animation alone. The song's great too. :)

[@cacko-wacko0657]

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

[@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.

[@floretwitch]

dude i love your animations so much, it's inspiring me to get back into animation as a medium. thank you for sharing your process !! looking forward to seeing more !

[@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.

[@Jack_Wolfe]

It is such a sick video. One of my favourite music animations all year

[@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!

[@Yert2465]

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

[@skald2154]

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

[@LizAnnaMae]

HUGE fan of this music video, thank you so much for making this deep dive into it!!

[@Moridin69]

Such a great music video, the retro game animations were awesome

[@CheesieTubes]

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

[@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

[@matthewbergeron3641]

The animation was fantastic and had me smiling the whole time. You did a great job

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@moriartea897]

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

[@villagemarauder]

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

[@QuasiDude]

So glad you made this because I hyperfixated on that music video. I don't even know how many times I've watched it

[@mattplays2]

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

[@Aukejorrit]

This music video is so incredibly good. The song slaps, but the video really adds a lot. Great job dude!

[@loool72]

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

[@theAmazingJunkman]

I’ve never been this obsessed with a music video, good sh!t dude 🔥🔥🔥

[@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 😭

[@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

[@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!! 😊

[@kirboiii]

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

[@cobalttj6356]

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

[@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!!

[@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!

[@bigbossxero]

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

[@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 !!

[@oak7741]

i was blown away by this, and the quality of the song lol your jokes were so funny too

[@thebariobro7664]

These extended versions are absolutely hilarious. I need a lot of these to be just real games or ROM hacks

[@yvendous]

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

[@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! 😂

[@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

[@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

[@galaxyblade111]

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

[@weeblbob233]

Amazing work and thanks for making this. Incredible work.

[@livingbetweenworlds5164]

I love the design for ninja brian, it's so funny yet so violently serious.

[@amazingfungus9919]

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

[@boomerangfishcb]

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