The Making of Lore Accurate Ganondorf

[@udge]

Something I forgot to mention: I put Lore Accurate Ganondorf on Vimeo so if you're interested in seeing it with significantly less compression go check it out: vimeo.com/907075141

[@DarkAzaze]

Udge come on can you please submit the full piece of the music as its a master piece

[@Ro_Gaona]

You are increíble, if you can upload the version with music and foley work, and the only foley work would be awesome.

[@RonPaulBot1234]

This must have taken over 4 months of work xD

[@BBWahoo]

I'm a bitter POS but your video brought me genuine joy. I will accept your smooch graciously ❤💋

[@Bainonis]

Bro, you're incredible. I don't think him dancing without the music and just foley was meant to be somehow even funnier

[@jceggbert5]

I wish he'd've put airpods or something on the Ganon model for that shot because it'd be 20x more realistic 🤣🤣

[@akiranakamura6533-o2d]

When he cut out the music, it looked like we were seeing it from Link's POV...

[@tjeerdtrekkie1030]

This guy literally made a filmset camera crane in-game. Absolutely crazy. Mad respect.

[@LucyCecidit]

I genuinely don't think I've ever watched a tutorial for something I know nothing about and got so much entertainment out of it. This had the perfect amount of teaching and comedy in it

[@JoyasInmaculadas]

I LOL'd when he incorporated those cheeky minecraft videos to retain the attention of all us weakbrains.

[@edcr2959]

At 1:10 the mouse cursor is putting a show on its own, and there's confidence on those moves.

[@SIREMF]

Thank you so much for crediting my choreography. So amazing to watch!

[@hida99ash]

The TerminalMontage's Ganon dance reenactment made me laugh out loud. I was not ready for that.

[@Envy_May]

i had no idea this was completely recreated i honestly thought you did it by directly editing the in-game assets somehow

[@jceggbert5]

seriously, I'm still skeptical about this not being in-game

[@BriStella]

NO WAY THE FIRST DANCE REFERENCE IS FROM MY COUNTRY¡!!! We are literally never used by outsiders as reference since there are more dramatic dances in other countries but oh boy I suddenly felt the patriotism when I saw that picture. Viva Costa Rica, uyuyuy bajura xD

[@XxTU_MAMAxX]

Pura vida mae

[@TheBreadPirate]

The ending makes this so much better.

[@gusher_11]

Oh my GYAT! It’s the Sea Bandit of Wheat and Yeast!

[@CringeRat]

2:33 "The woman here is my bathroom" 😳 Duolingo into some weird shit

[@MxDiagnosis]

Duolingo dutch has taught me how to say I am not an apple so it's just getting better

[@cecilofthesea]

thats not the actual translation lmao, "el baño está aquí" means "the bathroom is here"

[@CringeRat]

@@cecilofthesea yes, that's the translation for the _prompt,_ but look at the arrangement of the english words beneath it 💀

[@Ayyylien51]

It's honestly pretty wild that you made Camera Rigs from props and mechanics in game.

[@jackkirkpatrick1069]

The fact that you set up a stage for Ganon with a rotating camera rig is hilarious

[@Biscotum]

Oh, so that's how you did it: by animating everything by hand and then compositing it so seamlessly into ingame footage that it looks like it was done in situ. This isn't one of those cases where learning how it was done takes away the magic, this just made it even more impressive.

[@Vix584]

Okay, the quick second of the family guy death pose gave me a good chuckle.

[@kanda5324]

Cant believe I’m two months late to this video The fact that you filmed real in-game footage with builds/glitches and plopped the animation into it is so clever and impressive. Every single effect being custom-made as well makes me appreciate the video even more. Mad respect to your dedication to making the video look as real as possible. Idk how many people I’ve shown the Lore Accurate Ganondorf video to, but it’s definitely not enough. (Also heyyyy that’s me at the beginning 💅😌 an honor)

[@udge]

Thank you so much kanda! I really appreciate your kind words, both here and the ones featured in this video

[@formbextron]

5:05 is so good. Not enough animators use t-poses as the setup for a shot. Amazing work!!

[@spring.on.neptune]

1:12 the little cursor dance was by far my favorite part of the video. I love the work youve put into it and how it turned out, but that clip really made my day for some reason

[@veryspecificchaosfox]

Frozen meat crouch box hovercraft is a phrase I guarantee my autistic ass will end up repeating hundreds of times if not more

[@ameliezhou8887]

I remember you initially pinned your own comment under the lore accurate Ganondorf video, saying: “I need a job sooooo bad…” I mean… C’mon, just look at the quality of the works. If you don’t have a job, none of us should.

[@udge]

I'm still looking :')

[@ameliezhou8887]

@@udge No way… what kind of the job are you looking for? Animator?

[@udge]

honestly just anything in a related field to get my foot in the door, like editing, motion graphics, character rigging, etc (but animation would be great yeah)

[@ameliezhou8887]

@@udge Hmmm… have you show them these videos yet? I think this is the perfect reel! They are the perfect demonstration of your multi-talents! And maybe you can mention it in your video or description? Opportunities can come from anywhere and there is no shame promoting yourself!

[@udge]

I do have this on a reel site now yes, but I never thought to directly mention I'm looking for work in a video or description, good call

[@SuperWiiBros08]

This is fucking amazing, thanks for sharing the whole progress

[@Paludion]

Ganondorf dancing and then suddenly laying flat on the ground because the music is "disappointing" is so funny for me. XD

[@3L1Y4H]

1:13 the way the mouse is vibing 😂

[@CruelAndEffectiveTeacher]

man it's hilarious, and I can't stop watching it and dance with ganon like fr

[@CruelAndEffectiveTeacher]

9:44 make it a version 2 I like it

[@rebeggo358]

lore accurate ganondorf is such an amazingly professionally executed video and i think about it almost daily. this video is also really interesting. thank u

[@pensiveshipper4384]

CAN THE MUSIC CUT ONE JUST BE A WHOLE VERSION OMG THIS WHOLE ENTIRE THINGS IS AMAZING!!!!!

[@Seiyol]

That method of getting the in-game footage for the rotating shot is nothing short of ingenious.

[@The0fficialGigabyte]

This was so good I thought it was a mod for the real game

[@Lolyeet]

Nice tower heroes pfp (:

[@Whiki.]

When I saw the animation of "Lore Accurate Ganondorf" I totally fell in love, because in my country, which is Latin American (Dominican Republic) Our typical dance is the merengue, but when I saw this, since I am also a fan of The Legend Of Zelda, I was fascinated. I still can't get that little song about "¡SUAVEMENTE!" What I liked most about the creation was the Game footage, I thought it was fun how you used Zonnan creations to record. Incredible.

[@helperb0t4]

The personality you've put into this video is so good 😭😭😭 You didn't need to make another animation during Material Shading but you DID

[@MetalPcAngel]

This. Is. Art. Keep it up king.

[@noone3708]

You've done so much, an entire teams work, and talk about all that like its just a simple job, wow Everything is so finely and simply explained, fun to listen to Even this video itself has a lot of details that are simply there because you could?? You could've taken literally any point of this video and talked about it in all its detail for just as long as this video There is so much to dissect, to learn Your dedication to do all these, go thru so much just for a joke is amazing, i'm not sure if to pity the things you go through or to consider you god-like Your writing is great too because if it was literally anyone else i probably wouldn't have understood much from this, how??!?? So glad you got the support you got because i know i couldn't give it myself

[@noone3708]

Also this might be the most perfect project i've ever seen, not a single flaw, overdone if anything (besides the sfx, which the ending made perfect, and then even more perfect) Rockstar-level dedication

[@molgeraxproductions6671]

Absolutely amazing work, not just on the original video, but on having this making-of be just as entertaining, high-quality and well produced! Loved the part where you explained the exponential distance fog, as a shader programmer I know desmos and losing the attention of others all too well, and the bit with T-pose Ganon really threw more for a loop xD Big respect man, you continue to be criminally underrated, I adore everything you have put out, and with all that passion you put into it!

[@andremonchito]

The transition to Ganondorf, Papi Chulo killed me 💖💖 a true masterpiece

[@ckay11002]

I, for one, would just love a version where it's only the foley because that's fucking hilarious

[@ImpyWorm]

Really appreciate these behind-the-scenes style videos. Not sure you know just how helpful they can be for others trying to figure out how to do their own stuff!

[@Andross1]

Absolute Legend, Lore accurate Ganondorf was EASILY my favorite video of 2023. Can't wait to see what you make next!

[@bepis_real]

There is nothing more riveting than seeing a craftsman’s creative process, and you have basically everything in spades! Animation, visuals, music, storyboading, all the works of a one man team- and a great sense of humor to boot! And the best part is we can see how thoroughly you think out every idea and tool you have. How you put together the mashup really shows that you are someone who just really cares about what they do, and we want to say thank you. I can only hope for more amazing edits like this across KZbin in the future, because this is next level!

[@supahbeebz]

The future of content creators are mathematicians on god lmao, this is incredible

[@SpunkyDunk]

Your voice reminds me of a hippie, but like a really badass hippie. This is the highest compliment I can bestow, other than the fine work of art you accomplished!

[@udge]

One of my main hustles is tie-dye and I have really long curly hair like Weird Al or Kenny G, so think you're fairly accurate

[@tryfry5634]

The quality of this entire production is fucking astounding. I love it, you're amazing.

[@Customfurball28]

This is honestly amazing, the quality of the animations, the accuracy of the models and textures, shaders, and everything is incredible. Also the editing of this video is hilarious and really well done, and I love the dedication to bits like T-posing Ganondorf moving, really great stuff, such effort went into all of this.

[@blue4669]

The algorithm better notice you because this is amazing and deserves more attention

[@AdrianDrott]

Maaan I remember back in the day making machinima and the crazy creative solutions you had to come up with to get the shots you wanted ingame. This was genius, and I am happy you break down the work that actually went into making this. Hats off!

[@ivanoflavender9523]

Your editing, even here, is ABSOLUTE gold my dude!

[@CaptainClark23]

This was an absolute pleasure to watch! You did well to maintain a healthy amount of the technical info without sacrificing the accessibility of it for those less familiar with these processes and tools. For you to put this much effort into the smaller details (scene transitions, Ganondorf’s faces etc.) really maintained the pacing of it all. Also, I totally flinched. 🤦‍♂️😂 Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us! 👊

[@theskull1030]

I love the fact that they voice clips are directly taken from the game. I noticed right away, and the fact that they not only still work with the change of situation but also get a bit of a different feeling is just hilarious.

[@maxortiz8795]

The amount of effort you put into this and the sheer talent you’ve put on display is beyond impressive

[@IceMaverick13]

So when do we get "The Making of "The Making of Lore Accurate Ganondorf" "?

[@Artorikus]

You made all of that looks easy when it is not. I am a 3D editing amateour myself and I coould not do this stuff at all. Very nice video and I liked the funny parts to keep the audience alive 😝 I rewatch the original video so many times each day that I've lost count.

[@EpcLnn990]

9:30 I see what you did there lmao

[@Saltybeef90210]

This is fucking magnificent, you have made an absolute masterpiece.

[@michaeldougherty6036]

I didn't think I could love your animation any more, but your description of your workflow gave me so much more respect. And then the musicless version at the end had me in absolute tears. You are doing amazing things.

[@holyelephantmg8838]

Suavemente: *Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!*

[@HororKodStudio]

This video made my day ! Your work is so good, your narration captivating and your humor is chef's kiss.

[@tan_jem]

This was so creative & I loved vibing out with "this" Ganon! Thank you for making such an epic video! 🙌🏽

[@tcg2717]

You're pretty insane man. You have such a great mind.

[@TofuRabbit]

Awesome, i love to see these in depth breakdowns, really makes you appreciate the amount of work that went into all this! Fantastic work, this was really great c:

[@wizardwhen]

Dude that arc shot in game rig was mega cool

[@kirbyx2573]

The Suavamente Ganondorf Video was amazing. And this Video on how you made it was super interesting to watch! Amazing work!

[@bobitsmagic4961]

This might sound naiv but i didnt think about how much effort such an edit needed. Especially the part where you build the camera system in TOTK for footage used in your rendering. Stunning work, if i could like it twice i would.

[@stickmanadventures2865]

Giggling maniacly at a behind-the-scenes video is such a win

[@NastySmash]

The fact that it looks modded is a real testament to the phenomenal work you've done! Grats!!

[@consumeproduce]

shame on the algorithm for only serving this to me now.

[@Carlhero-ce2xq]

The best part for me is just imagining ganondorf expecting the showdown of a lifelime just for link to trap him in a box, fly to the ceiling in a machine, take a video of his surroundings and leave

[@AstroNautkaify]

As a person who just barely started to learn Blender, 3D and VFX, I'm impressed beyond imagination 😅It is very inspiring and cool, thank you

[@Vahiner]

I really love your work, man. Thought you peaked with Crewmate Galleon and I was wrong, you just keep shining brighter and brighter lol

[@melvinyablonowicz1476]

You’ve set the bar so high for how to present complicated concepts such music theory, dance, shading, lighting, texturing and sound engineering AND put it all together seamlessly- with easily digestible segments and humor. This should be the first stop for anyone considering a hobby or career in all or part of digital animation. Amazing work!

[@levisnotjeans]

Boss, you deserved every penny you made for this,you're actually funny as f ty for existing

[@imdaltino]

as someone who dabbles a bit in ableton and blender, it's really inspiring to see the process and makes me wanna dig deeper. i really appreciate these man, thanks.

[@Howzieky]

I genuinely thought you modded the game, it was that well done. Incredible work, and very entertaining explanation

[@AlexanderMoen]

man, the amount of work you put in for all these seemingly minor details makes me appreciate it even more. Really solid work

[@MetaZekrom72]

I love how you made the video both informative and hilarious. 😄👍

[@rebekkah9420]

WOW! I mean, it REALLY looked like out of the game. You did an awesome job! Thanks for showing :D

[@Florent-yy3pd]

When I have funny ideas I think I'll just animate the thing and post the viewport playblast and be done but now you obliterated any kind of quality standards for shitpost so gg Also this is the best making of I've ever seen thank you so much

[@mightilyoats2729]

Squidward: Oh No. He's HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWT

[@InterLin]

5:05 is so goddamn funny it also kinda got me haha

[@owliwar]

no joking, this is INCREDIBLE for a 2d artist/ product designer more focused on CAD like me who have a fear of begining doing 3d work its an inspiration!! your process breakdown was really thoughfull, very didactic and its giving me an itch to start learning blender again thanks a lot for the video :)

[@thehippie3610]

Having never played this game, I want to say that this meme fooled me. I thought the actual game had him dancing and you just edited it with music lol Sensational

[@senpaisimon_]

This is an absolute masterpiece in every way! And that goes for both this making of and the actual video. I love the way you use sound from the game inside this making of video, the humor is on point, the editing to show everything, the skills you have in every way... i am just blown away. I have not had a more enjoyable 10 minute long video in ages

[@babungo6090]

I think this is an amazing portfolio lol

[@Corvus_Erectus]

I cant evencompregend how a simple behind the scenes video can be so funny

[@frogusfungus454]

This is amazing beyond words! I have face pain from smiling. PLEASE release the the foliage version aswell as the musicless one I beg you!

[@vicbotlekgetho4601]

One of the few times I’m glad the copyright system was funny cause that orchestral version of the song is 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@CarlosRodriguez-ms6re]

Bro you should finish composing just the song cause that’s what brought me here I loved it keep at it

[@crystaldrawstrash]

Your dedication to make the Lore Accurate Ganondorf video is stellar. I don't have the patience or skills to do this. I'm so impressed!

[@Famously5518]

ive already watch this video but watching it again is so delightful anyway

[@Elliemaeggles]

You are my hero. Please make more of these.

[@Lawn_Clippings29]

I had a big fat smile on my face the whole time, thank you

[@MrVarga64]

Loved this and the ending had me creasing. You've earned a sub, sir!

[@Reysan7]

Some people struggle fighting the final boss, but this chad made and art piece out of it. Well Done.

1 minute enjoyment for me, hours of work for you. I really appreciate your effort!

[@BirdieSenpai]

The sheer dedication demonstrated here is downright inspirational.

[@peet3449]

My man you inspired me to animate and the fact that you make this video is a gift send from heaven. Thank you 😊

[@gabe4338]

Amazing. Thanks for making my day :-)

Thank you Ga Be for making mine :*

[@blacknight7559]

This is so amazing, I can't even aim to be able to do as such an amazing job as you did... But man... Now I really need that Suavemente x Ganondorf theme mashup, it sounds so majestic

[@kirathecat]

Dude this was so impressive and awesome to watch! I love the effort and your process was interesting to hear about!

[@undertaker2766]

You put so much work into this, I'm impressed. Huge respect, the video is that good because of the time you took for it. I kinda want to try 3d animation now

[@ploxyzero]

AWESOME tysm for the tutorial, very insightful! i have so much respect for people who rig and animate 3D models cause that shit is so time consuming
