SYD BARRETT - THE SCARECROW

Official Selection at The Mondo Cult Film Variety Showcase in Hollywood, CA. on December 29th, 2018.
A Semi-Finalist at the Lisbon Film Rendezvous (Lisbon, Portugal) on September, 29th, 2018
My animation of the 1967 song "Scarecrow", lyrics by Syd Barrett and music by Pink Floyd

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thanks to all of you !!..I am very happy you have enjoyed this animation. All of my animations of Syd's songs are labors of love. More to come, stay tuned !

[@Pynaegan]

I'm *really* looking forward to "Bike"!

[@notreal4061]

Steve Bobinski ... well done sir..! I loved it 😋😝😎

[@luizf53]

Wonderful job ♥️

[@flaviopitanga65]

Simply wonderful. Thank you

[@tomgebarowski8156]

I was always too scared to explore Syd Barrett & his music, as his personal breakdown & history spooked me. Your animation made me feel more comfortable and made it easy to see he had a childlike innocence & creativity about him. He was an avant garde artist, but had an innocent charm & brilliance about him.

[@Jjrmtv]

we are kindred spirits... feel the same way

[@MK-nn7gm]

I promise you his music post Floyd is lovely, charming even, it’s weird to read all the stories about him and then hear a song like “here I go” Syd is absolutely charming and it comes through on his solo albums

[@papamiya3124]

wtf do you mean this shit is so unsettling

[@tomgebarowski8156]

It reminds me of how people grew scared of or awkward toward Beach Boy Brian Wilson after his breakdown and years on drugs(controlled by his shrink). But I've saw him years later a few times as a solo act and he was great, really moving! His post Beach Boys music isn't as glorious, but it's sensitive & sweet! He too is a living musical genius.

[@romaindube7736]

Exactly!

[@JohnDoe-jc6xu]

Such a great song, it's shocking that Syd ended up becoming the scarecrow with such frightening accuratecy.

[@lupearacelycastrohidalgo6330]

The song is a depiction of him actually

[@themagicminstrels476]

most likely was writing about himself as a lot of musicians indirectly do, even if they aren't conscious of it.

[@Silverfoxgy1]

This is one of my favourite early Floyd tracks although to me it always seemed too short.

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Mine too...and yes, much too short

[@garryiglesias4074]

Well "too short" happens often with Floyd works... DSOTM is "too short"... The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say... I can't even remember hearing the starting gun...

[@Silverfoxgy1]

@@SteveBobinskiSJB I missed your reply. Sorry. I just love your work. Im currently enjoying The Gnome :-)

[@nicholas70paul]

Listen to it again and it will be much longer :)

[@damiensuil2183]

it's truly a great moment and very rewarding when one great artist inspires another in a different medium-barrett would've loved this steve ..well done, and very imaginative work!

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thank you very much, your words keep me going..

[@222Lightning]

OH I'm flattered. How did you know? Why yes this on cassette did inspire me to stay up all night and do that phychodelic album cover with Doc Watson on the cover for Design 1 in college. They put me on Time magazine for that one.....the one with the Mule getting mounted on it.

[@user-kx4iv1kv8v]

Огромная благодарность и низкий поклон Вам, Steve, за Ваш труд и сильную любовь к Syd Barrett, чувствуется, что Syd заполнил собой все Ваше пространство - вся его головокружительная легкость, изящество, простота, сказочность, доброта, неизмеримая глубина его тонкой, до боли ранимой, хрупкой души - все это дает Вам стимул к созданию прекрасных работ. Я думаю, что все Ваши работы, это самая лучшая визуализация всего музыкального творчества Syd Barrett. Почти уверена, что Syd сейчас радуется, как ребенок ( а он ЖИВ, конечно!) и, сидя верхом на облаке, весело болтает ногами... грусть утраты уходит куда-то... спасибо Вам за это чудесное путешествие!

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thank you so very much. I am humbled by your very kind words I love Syd as you do as well. All my animations are labors of LOVE...More animations to come.

[@user-kx4iv1kv8v]

Спасибо Вам большое! Низкий поклон! В ожидании новых прекрасных путешествий!..

[@damncoldmusic1437]

Such fantastic colour and attention to detail. (Great to see the rat and Lucifer Sam make an appearance.) The four Floyd caricatures are priceless! You give such life to these songs. Steve. I really hope your work wins some awards.

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Wow, I am humbled by your very kind words. Thanks very much

[@gmedeiros5748]

As soon as the woodpeckers and frog intro was in sync I loved it Now watching in disbelief Amazing artistry !!!!!!!!!

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thank you very much...I like that sync part too :)

[@markco61]

Syd was such an amazing human being, ask Roger Waters. What a genius...shine on you crazy diamond in spirit and humanity. He's like a god to all the dispossessed imo. What a tribute to him. Thank you.

[@DocLazybones]

Well, what can I say...Steve, You're an excentric, artist, genius...I share your love for Syd. That's a gem.

[@blancsteve4819]

And they said flash is dead. As an retired developer I recognise the forms. Syd would have loved it Im sure. Please could you close our eyes to that horrible sea monster next...thanks Steve.

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Yes, I LOVE "Octopus" !!..I always felt that if Syd had stayed a little longer in the Floyd, they might have recorded some of his solo stuff: Octopus, Baby Lemonade, Late Night...

[@rayrose4961]

I love how you Incorporated Lucifer Sam into the cartoon chasing the mice

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thanks, I tried to make a comnnection with all the Piper at the Gates of Dawn animations, since they were all part of one album.

[@janchiodo-wilhelm9055]

Steve, u r genius. One cannot be taken aback by the effort u put forth in these gorgeous clips. Thank u for all of them, don't stop! I wish u could attempt Golden Hair. I,too,am a artist, I write surrealism, paint it,live it and pray to it. For God gave us this mind to use in any way we can. Oh our poor Syd. What little he left will go on because of talents like yourself. Thank you dear friend, and yes "it's awfully considerate of you making it clear that I'm not here." But u keep him with us, love peace and mercy Jan chiodo Wilhelm six nation's NY.

KZbin recommended this to me - and I'm very glad they did! I really love your Lucifer Sam animation - and this is quite enjoyable also. As I am a big fan of "Piper," it was part of the sound track of my younger sisters' lives. They're gonna love this!!!

Thank you so much , I really appreciate it...I hope your sisters enjoy it as well...I'm currently working on "The Gnome" (stay tuned) :)

[@ElectricLabel]

Your work is sublime, and perfect for Syd's songs.

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thank you so much. I appreciate the compliment :)

[@64098]

Your video is a masterpiece, and it made my evening! I commented on another KZbin video about an "Endeavour" episode that had Endeavour discovering a scarecrow wearing a missing man's jacket and ID badge from a nuclear plant. The episode took place in 1968, so the Scarecrow played in my head for the rest of the day. I've been grooving on Syd and the original Pink Floyd for at least 50 years. I subscribed to your page here.

[@albertmooglie5344]

I love watching all your videos, Steve. They are beautiful to look at, and enhance the songs so well. Great work!

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thanks Albert...I'm glad you enjoyed them

[@albertmooglie5344]

Anyone who would not enjoy your animations would have very serious problems, Steve. I can only imagine the enjoyment you must get putting these videos together. And can I just add it is so nice that you take the time to respond to people's comments. It means a lot to hear from the artist, and not just talk into cyberspace!

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thanks Albert :)… I recently got a negative critique from someone. As an artist I know and appreciate that not everyone will like my work. However, this particular person has trolled me before, looking to antagonize me. I won't indulge this person and give them the satisfaction...I create my animations about Syd's songs, simply because I LOVE Syd's songs !..I am so glad that many people, like you, enjoy my animations because they are truly created as labors of love...Thanks again Albert. More to come !!

[@albertmooglie5344]

Such a pity about the troll. But like I said, they must have serious problems. :(

I used Adobe Animate and Adobe Photoshop...I'm very happy to be an inspiration. I teach animation so it's important to me to help others when I can..Keep animating !!

Steve, this is another masterpiece. I really enjoyed it, but I can't help asking you why do you always use very low quality versions of the songs?

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thanks for the kind words, and I use the downloads from Amazon for the audio, so I assumed they were of high quality...
