Holy crap awesome! Thanks again man.
YEESSSS.
Now that guy with the skeleton can have the crazy gun toting skeleton.
Saw this and super curious about it as well. I figured it was pretty light hearted and I really dug that but suddenly MURDER and... it felt kinda out of place for the tone really.
That being said man I felt like there were a lot of video game references in there and I'm not sure if I'm just seeing things (probably)
Ghosts with exposed hearts reminded me of Luigi's Mansion, some of the paintings I took for Edgeworth and the wrestler from Rhythm Heaven etc
Holy shit wasn't this the dude behind Cybermoon Studios way back when?
My older brother was good friends with him actually. Throwback.
The head bobbing is so annoying sorry. Even worse than pusheen.
The dog looks like some stupid mlp OC and looks even stupider because of the glasses.
The character design is cringy. Also the story is shit.
Sorry but I hate it. The animation is okay, but it was mostly just bobbing so thats not saying much.

i think one of the other paintings is of the priest from the other music video for this song (which is just as good)

no idea who the other portrait is though
The music isn't my cup of tea, but I was so into the animation I watched it all the way through.
I think Edgeworth was in one of the pictures in the hallway.
1:12 The hair of Phoenix and the body of Edgeworth.
I guess a call back to his first Mystery Skulls video?
Ah, understand the plot on a rewatch
[sp]Group goes to a cave, orange gets possessed and kills purple, dog bites off his arm and it's why he has a robo arm. Blue uh... I don't understand actually.
Neat touch is that you never see the dogs reflection either. Even in the kitchen[/sp]
[QUOTE=papaya;46352183]no idea who the other portrait is though[/QUOTE]
It's a humanized version of Rarity from MLP.
I thought it was Zone to be honest v:v:v also where's that art in your avatar from? I kinda love this art style and would like to see more.

At first I was like "There's no way I'm gonna like this after the first one"
Then the priest started dancing like an idiot and I fell in love
Still like the animated one more though

I agree, I didn't like how it decided to go for the dark tone. I would have preferred a simple getting spooked around ala Scooby.
But OP's friend is the animator, so it's not my decision.
I dunno, I feel like the slight dark tone added some depth to it and elevated it beyond just being one big Scooby Doo reference. Makes you think about the video way more.
It's still pretty lighthearted even with that

I thought the dog was some sort of evil mastermind
he's behind the orange guy when they're in the cave (despite it looking like he's going with blue) and once it transitions out of the flashback he has the same look as he did just before orange kills purple
I guess I just didn't like the ending to the video.
[sp]Why couldn't they hug and have a happy ending? ;-;[/sp]

Yeah it's kinda unclear. All of them at the end are flashing back to the cave. Vivi's eyes, Arthur turning half green/possessed, and Mystery being covered in shadow.
I'm surprised no one is making bone puns with Lewis though :v: You can do it skeleton.
Skeletons with ghost hair is my new favorite thing.
are the characters based on bandmates?
I'm rather reminded of some character designs from "Hanna is Not a Boy's Name"

The dog is meant to be the guy who animated it I'm pretty sure, not sure about the other characters
Mystery (dog) is based on the animators character, I think. Vivi (blue girl) Arthur (Orange) and Lewis (Pink) are all original

You.. you do know what rhythm is, right?

i felt like everything going to the beat added way more to it, it is a music video after all.
and it seems like you're insulting the design just because the artist is or was interested in mlp
Great vid, as i said previously,
cranium and ribcage is best shampoo
Watching this again, the ending is even sadder if you believe in the 'ghosts are people with unfinished business' theory. He died, and his heart was broken, and he just... gave up.
I swear these aren't tears.
Would love to see a continuation of the story in another video. Characters were too fleshed out to only get a few minutes of screen-time.
Drew up a picture of Lewis earlier and got pointed towards this thread so thought I'd share:

I can see these characters become super popular. I'm not really a fan of this kind of "cheesy" dance music but the animation is fantastic and gives the track depth
