Snipperclips - Noisy Notebook ("Weird Al"-style Polka Medley!)

This project has been over 2 years in the making, and it's finally out!
This arrangement of the various Noisy Notebook themes from Snipperclips is heavily inspired by "Weird Al" Yankovic's many polka medleys. As such, it was very important for me to keep in the spirit of the audio arrangement (and the original game) to have an equally zany video to match. This is by FAR the most complex and involved video I've ever made (and probably ever will), but the end result was well worth the effort.
I originally arranged this tune for the Pixel Mixers Indie album "The Great Tale of the Little Ones Vol.2", which you can check out here: • The Great Tale of the ... . However, the original version of this track did not have real trumpet or tuba, so I wanted to remix this tune with real brass players for the video, which really took the project to the next level. A huge "thank you" to everyone who helped lend their skills and audio/video recordings to this project!

this is such a random combination but man it’s incredibly produced and deserves way more views!!

[@BrendanVavra]

Hey, thank you! This is one of my favorite videos I've done, though it caters to a very niche audience of folks who have played and enjoyed Snipperclips, but also love Weird Al's Polka Medleys. XD

Last night I was thinking I should buy my Daughter's and slide whistle. I wonder if where I used to get them still has them. Your still a great inspiration to Us thank You.

[@GoldenDBH]

I've never even played the game but man this is pretty good. Might watch a longplay.

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you! IMO this game is best experienced playing it with a friend as a couch co-op if possible - the puzzles and mechanics are very creative and well-designed, with no single right answer to many of them since you can cut yourselves into whatever shapes you want. There's also a set of 4-player puzzles too! Highly recommend this game.

This is a GREAT combo! Al-plause!

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you!

[@SiolfortheJackal]

This... is amazing. Master of accordion and... scissors!

[@WarpWhistlesMusic]

oh my stars this was an absolute blast! it looks like it was super fun to make and perform - great job team (and should we be concerned with all those scissors laying around 🤔)

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you! My SO teaches crafting classes and found all these scissors at thrift stores for a great deal, though I think this is the first time they were used all at once!

[@eileenlynch8166]

I believe this is my favorite video of your. Your star does shine!

[@lulin2546]

this is very pleasant

[@joepower777]

This was an insanely fun experience! Arrangement, audio quality, video editing etc were so well done; I was thoroughly entertained!

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@tsori8717]

This was so much fun. Thanks for asking me to be a part of it! Plus it was nice to dust off my mardi gras hat lol

[@BrendanVavra]

And thank you so much for being a part of it, and for convincing me to have real brass in the first place - it made the project so much better.

[@daytimesky]

This deserves way more views!!

[@nkyiem]

Underated! This is really fun to watch haha

[@EvanCarville]

this video and arrangement are so fun!! love all of the scissors

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you!

[@Duhemsounds]

This is plenty of fun :)

[@aurorajellycrissramones9466]

That was great

[@ElazulVGM]

This might be the most fun cover video I’ve seen all year, seriously great work everyone!

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you so much! This is the best compliment I could have hoped for! XD

[@JonasBombeke]

Haha, this is great!! Very well done!!

[@BrendanVavra]

Thanks, man, I appreciate it!

[@DeweyNewt]

Wow, incredible performances and video editing! So glad to see your original arrangement brought to life like this. :D

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you! I had big dreams for this video ever since the album released, and am glad I took the time needed to make it happen (though I'll probably never spend this much time on a video again). I'm also glad TSori convinced me to get real trumpet and tuba in here instead of faking it for the video as I'd originally intended - it came out so much better this way.
