Thanks for watching everyone, happy ya'll are busting a nut over it. For info on how long it took, what programs we used and what influenced us you can read about it here. www.sakowskistudios.com/skynut
As a beginner game dev... your kind is godly. But you also provided a lot of insight for lvl builds and layouts! Thanks for the BTS look!
Thank you for giving us this masterpiece of a work of art, this was like a trailer for a Netflix Special
11/10 keep up the great work
This is genuinely the coolest animation next to astartes I've seen in years
I’m proud of your team, who singlehandedly crafted the most professional shit post on TH-cam.
The Shia Leboeuf song has some competition.
it's not even a shitpost, it's art.
Its definitely high quality, but you cant really top Lasagnacat's one hour long analysis of a Garfield comic in terms of professionalism. This is still amazing though
666th like,all hail the mechanical demon.
emphasis on singlehandedly
This animation is so sick
That I'm cooming
fax
Dude being the thousandth like is so cool
So is the music
When a music video about robots firing lasers powered by sperm has better animation than the Godzilla anime trilogy.
And better story too, forgot to mention that.
Facts
Living Corpse the creative mind of Charlie on full display
Living Corpse imagine semen powered ghidorah.
@@choog2752 That's King Ghidorah to you foolish lowly mortal.
It is a crime to see such majestic art as this be so underrated holy shit
Skynut hit 1M views babieeee
Criminally* underrated
@@anonymoususer3477 Not enough. Deserves more.
@@KingOfDarknessAndEvil agreed
3.6m now
This animation is nuts!
i get the pun
Mamad Nobari *_skynuts_*
Nice pun
Hah hilarious
I see what you did there
Using 3d and 2d animation in probably the most mind bending way...
Right on
the power of p a r a l l a x
It's also cool to think that games like Shovel Knight and Danganronpa use this technique!
Weirdly enough this 2D/3D hybrid style of animation remind that of Archer.
@@CharlieA24 The characters in Archer work very similar to the ones here, however the animation there is fully 2D and the layers are much more straight forward. This stile is often very unnecessary since it's very time consuming, so it's better used for short animations like music videos.
The budget was not big enough to do 24fps cell animation so they whole video is designed to push the limits of motion comic technique. If we have more time and money in the future all of the character animation would be Cell animated (digiality of course)
I would kill to see a game/movie made about this in this art style. Fantastic job!
We want to make a feature films like Akira and Ghost in the Shell!
@@SakowskiStudios I would buy to see a dystopian type of movie like Akira 👀
@@SakowskiStudios Make the movie all 2D hand-drawn animation, and I'll pay to see it.
@@SakowskiStudios that would be so sick.
@@SakowskiStudios Would gladly throw some indiegogo money on that. As long as it's not about robocum ahahah.
amazing job, the manga scene was nuts
Holy shit its actually punpun
Thanks we love manga and anime. They are a big inspiration to us. We want to make more!!!
This was beautiful
Especially the drawn sfx. It felt as if my eyes were ejaculating ⛲
Oyasumi punpun is a nutty manga too :)
This.
This is art.
Clearly I was born in the year of the new renaissance.
I wonder how proud they must feel after animating a video about nut powered robots
The proudest man can be **sheds tear*
The fact that this team works on Hollywood Blockbusters, yet still made this, amazes me to no end.
They do? On what they worked on?
@@TheDorianTube Skynut 2020 of course
Mamad Nobari hell yeah
I WANT A VIDEO GAME WITH THIS SAME STYLE WTF
although it's not something you can like just on it being the same animation style, the danganronpa games also use some similar techniques, although it's used there to simulate a pop-up book aestethic, the environments are 3d, but the characters and objects in rooms are basically cardboard cutouts
I'm surprised a guy that made this masterpiece only had 380 subs, SUBSCRIBED
We gotta boost those numbers up, everyone subscribe
Yes this channel is severely underrated but I don’t think it’s just ONE guy making this
Pandu I wonder, did Charlie pay the studio for this or did they get paid in exposure.
2620 by the time of me writing this. in two days. lets boost this up more!
hmm it's almost as if that superficial number has no baring on actual talent or experience🤔
I would love to work with you in the future, the video looked fantastic!
Wow Nathaniel
Having attempted animating before, the amount of dedication and time to make an animation this good for something this dumb is so damn impressive. You deserve more subs
that’s the Yin Yang of it, the good in the bad, the bad in the good, it’s a balance.
I'm a CG artist and my first thought was "how much of this is 3D?" The fact that you made 2D assets just so the camera could move around them in 3D space is incredible.
Nickolas Cruiser thanks, yeah technically the only 3D object we have in this project were the missiles flying toward the city. Everything else is a 2D asset composited in 3D space.
Damn, even the “making of” video is art in itself
Look, all jokes aside...this is properly impressive stuff. I know that this was done for what is, essentially a shitpost but it looks like it took a metric ass-load of work. That speaks volumes to your passion and talent. Fantastic job. I am amazed that the channel has so few subscribers.
The song was also way to good for a song about cum-fueled robots.
This is the greatest animated music video of All Time
This feels like something the creators of dethklok would make. This is still awsome though.
Jacob Caron mote like dethkok
@@fdtygfhftfghftyg I just double checked, and no I spelled it correctly.
The scene where the robot pulled out the buster sword gave me chills...
Awesome :) Glad the energy has transferred form 2d space to physical reality
@@SakowskiStudios Seriously that scene was perfect the strange futuristic sound in the song aswell as the overall asthetic of the figure blinking in neons ,sure maybe a shit post but its soo good...
This was equally as impressive as the final product
1:38 Haesindang Park coordinates, I see what you did there
I don't get it. Explain please
@@WorldCupWillie there is coordinates on the bottom right, and when you search it up, it shows the penis park in south korea
@@monke4349 😂😂👍
100% worth the ten year wait. This was gorgeous, to say the least.
The main skull robot standing in the smoke then swinging his sword with the lightning and the clash gave me chills and is so ff-ing cool every time I watch it it’s unbelievable, the rest of the animation is also sooo good I would watch anything no matter how dumb if it was animated like this, it was such a masterpiece
Loved this style! I would totally be into a whole graphic novel series like this!
I have my own one if it interests you - The Mecha Genesis - You can check out on our website
This animation is really what makes this song better then all of Charlie’s other songs
Dude... The whole thing exceed my expectations ten fold. I'm speechless. Insane work man. Seriously congrats.
Shot man!
This is the greatest animation studio of All Time
The animation is NUTS !!!! When i watched the whole thing i knew it took ALOT of frames for this masterpiece ❤️
I'm glad no one was recording the faces I was making while watching this.
You're all amazing. The sheer beauty of this project and the work it took to make this shitpost a reality is downright jaw dropping.
I honestly love the designs of all the different mechs, namely the flying ships that are just literally big laser cannons attached to wings and jets, and the big rectangular weapons platforms, so fuckin' awesome!
I now just am in total awe, being an artist myself who's very slowly doing animation of his own, I can only imagine that all this took probly like at least a good fuckin' 2 weeks to a month or even more.
Unless whatever program you used for this really helped cut down on a ton of the work you'd have to do otherwise, to be honest rigging kinda is probly what you'd use for that, but yeah.
Love it anyways! So fucking awesome!
I love big Sci-fi, and you guys honestly did it more justice in 4-5 minutes than most fictions tend to do in 1-100 hours, (IMO)
Thanks we love mecha, if you want more check out our graphic novel "The Mecha Genesis"
I honestly was getting vag vibes from those ships.. I don't know if I'm over thinking it but I could swear a lot of the designs in the vid were meant to look like genitalia lol
The lights on the robots blinking rapidly instead of being constantly on just adds to the menacing aura they have, damn
When the running dude came apart and showed the billion pieces i came, as an after effects user, just thinking about the amount of layers makes my brain commit death, this style of creating individual pieces of a big model dependant on the perspective (like the isometric scenes, and the jet planes head on) all inside a 3d space is extremely cool, it reminds me of the blender grease pencil, where people have done crazy 3d environments all out of 2d drawn textures inside blender, super cool and super underrated, keep doing what you guys do.
2.5d I like to call it. That's why storyboard/previs is so important, as it locks in your camera perspective which everything will be designed to. Isometric is great as you can duplicate one asset multiple times (such as the siege-tank) and it will still fit the perspective no matter where you place it.
Sakowski Studios Yeah, some games do that too, it's super cool, great stuff
@@RegahP for sure, slight RTS homage there to Command and Conquer and Starcraft
Sakowski Studios oh yeah!! Just noticed. I love adding easter eggs to my work and my games and little texts and stuff inside my code, thats cool
Just this video looks like it took so long to make it’s actually unbelievable
Just wanted to say the effort your team put into this is amazing , its such high quality hope you have many more music videos in future.
Haters: NOOOOO, You can't just make the coolest song AND the coolest behind the scenes!!!
Sakowski: haha layers go brrrr-
When the Behind the Scenes animation is just as sick as the video. Props to you man. Never have I seen a behind the scenes that didn't take away much of the magic until now. The level of detail... by Charlie's glorious beard...
I don’t know much about animation, but I was genuinely so impressed when I saw everything come apart and it was revealed how all of the little tiny pieces individually make up the whole. I can’t imagine how it must feel to do so much drawing and rendering and stuff on something that is only on screen for a few seconds. Nothing but respect for the animators.
The instrumental version of Skynut is as awesome as the animation!
that shot at 3:20 is what sold the whole video for me, the shakeyness. the close up its all so beautifully animated 10/10
The artwork in this was awesome
You know a studio has talent when you have a hard time distinguishing between 2D and 3D assets and animations. The Gentle Men were lucky to have found you guys. You went above and beyond for what was effectively a goofy shitpost!
This is legitimately grade A animation, I can't believe how far you've all went for this
Every frame was appreciated by the viewers, thank you for this :)
Props to the whole team that made this happen. Great job!
Never thought the image of Charlie getting drained by robots would look so cool
The animation made my heart beat so fast, really an inspiration.
Props to whoever was responsible for designing and illustrating that storyboard scene, the pan up to the Semen Demon robot was nothing short of a beautiful masterpiece!
The animation was so well done! I hope you get picked up more because that was seriously great. Combo-ed with The Gentle Men, priceless.
2:31 the amount of layers and the fact that a lot of them are pre comped is insane HOLY
Bruh I have never been scared of an AfterEffects timeline before...
How much RAM did it take up?!
Akshay Anand all of it 😂
3 years later this is still a gem of the internet.
You know the worlds' gone to shit when the music video about robot sperm killers,
has a better plot the recent marvel films.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
King Hassan really changed after the 7th Singularity
jokes aside this is some extra top tier animation my guy, you deserve farm more subs than a small 600-- i even feel like we shouldn't be getting this stuff for free lol you deserve more for this kinda work
The animation is undoubtedly some serious eye candy. And the context behind it just makes it stand out even more.
Absolutely phenomenal. I would love to see a feature length in this style.
IMAGINE creating a making-of for a music video and making it animated. absolutely stunning.
This is proper good cant wait to see more projects
This is seriously amazing! The artstyle is so clean and the animation is so satisfying. I'd kill to have a game like this tbh.
Was it done in blender?
Edit : nevermind I saw after effect
FanaticMoose the number of layers 😱
lmao after effects is something you use in post, this could have very well been made in blender, you can't do 3d in AE
These studio deserves more recognition goddammit! It's annoying how amazing art gets overlooked these days!!
This looks incredible! How much time does it take to do something like this?
8 months of part time work. I lose track of the hours. But all of us still have full-time jobs on top of this.
I'm satisfied, now we need a new video that shows us the making of this video
If this was a CGI movie imagine how much money it would make lol i would happily spend 250 bucks for a ticket.
stay posted we got some big ideas for the future
@@SakowskiStudios any chance on a feature length skynut ;)
Damn the idea that makes the main character jumps from manga panel to another panel is so sick, man!!!! Love it
You should really do something with this is the future, ever tought of being an animator ?
Doing some incredible animation for penguinz0 must be an honor.
Skynut is possibly one of the biggest creative influences I've ever had, the comic panel section especially
Edit: 2:32 AAAHHHHHH
I have PTSD from that Drone Rig 🥲
A neat way to release the instrumental version, loved the original vid. And this whole breakdown of it.. I'm at a loss for words.
This is just...fascinating. Despite the ridiculous premise of the music video, the sheer quality of the animation is superb. And seeing each individual part of a scene and how it all layers together is so damn cool. Like I said, it’s just fascinating. Amazing job.
I’m truly blown away! I wouldn’t have expected a Neon Apocalypse with Jizz robots be so awesome!
Charlie helped make this freaking song? I've been listening to this song for months; literally playing it on repeat, and never saw the music video. I've been watching Charlie for even longer, and now its all connected. I had no idea. What a masterpiece
Yes Charlie wrote the lyrics and of course the initial concept haha
I've never had the means to create digital art or animation, and I never truly realized how much layering there is for even a single obect/being/scene. It is genuinely amazing and awe-inspiring to see the level of quality and work it takes to create something like this. Truly legendary. I hope one day I can create anything as cool as this
Absolutely incredible animation! Thank you for this beautiful jizzing tale
I love the fact that the lasers in the animation have recoil not because of anything wrong with the physics but because it implies that these guns are firing out enough energy in the form of light (Electromagnetic Radiation) to move those massive tank barrels and guns. this is an insane amount of energy all coming from semen. For reference on how much energy this is, a 300 megawatt laser would only have about 1 newton of recoil, about as much as an apple on your hand. A 300 megawatt laser can easily cut through solid steel and is about 60,000 times more powerful than industrial laser cutters. The lasers we are seeing have hundreds of thousands of times the recoil as the 300 megawatt laser and therefore would be hundreds of thousands of times more powerful. This would be in the scale of gigawatts to terawatts of power. For each cannon blast... multiply this by the cannon blasts per battle times the battles fought and you have the energy expenditure of just the cannons alone. not to mention the guns or the flying annihilators. Semen is so energy efficient that it can easily provide enough energy for every battle that skynut fought (they took out humanity). Semen would have had to supply not terawatts, not petawatts, but exawatts of power. if instead of using semen, skynut used nuclear energy, they would need literal billions of nuclear reactors to make that much energy. Alternatively if they went the route of solar, they would need to cover all of earths landmass with solar panels over 9,000,000 times over to get that much energy. If you were to turn this energy directly into mass it would be at LEAST 441,000 pounds of material. My theory, semen can be transferred directly into energy via e=mc^2. now for the takeaway. Kids, if you ever want to take over earth, you need at least 441,000 pounds of semen to do it. feel free to add on or tell me where I went wrong, this was mostly back of the napkin math and estimating so there is bound to be some error. Id guess I'm pretty close to the lower end of the estimation.
I respect you for your calculations, but what the fuck
honestly the use of 2d objects in layers to give the sense of depth but with a drawing is a very interesting artstyle that I want to see more of
This is on a whole nother level my guy your insane. The animation blew me away when I saw it I can't belive your so talented
Honestly the best way to show a BTS for an animation.
Skynut. Sounds like a franchise to me.
Seeing the intricacy of the after effects files blew my mind. Breakdown was aesthetically pleasing in it of itself wtf
This is so fantastic. I dont recall another studio that has cooler productions than this.
gosh rewatching this again - even this video showing how it's made is clean af/ a work of art. it's super helpful to see just how much work is put in, and how these types of projects are constructed/made :)
I love how it’s made entirely by layers and not actual painstaking animation
well technically all animation is made this way it's just that we did inside after effects rather than photographing cells against a background. Even the animation from the early days of disney layered their backgrounds like this (I think they pioneered it). They had to stack the layers in this big multi-plane camera contraption to get the same effect. You can watch a video on them explaining it here th-cam.com/video/3YIR39KeJMk/w-d-xo.html So yeah, all animation is done this way, just digitally now. It's usually the character and FX animation that is all at 24 fps.
Huh I never knew that cool video
This animation studio/channel is incredibly underrated they earned my fucking sub a thousandfolds.
Holy shit I love this animation style, for the love of God please keep up the awesome work
It's 1000 times better of what I expected when Charlie announced it.
You may hate the song itself, but smh this animation is godlike
A true master of their craft.
This video is so cool and strangely disturbing... Just the idea of guys getting hooked up to these machines and being squeezed dry until death is so weird and messed up. Awesome job, guys!
This behind-the-scenes is almost as cool as the final product. The work you put into this is astounding and it paid off. Amazing job!
I never thought seeing Charlie's bust face animated so beautifully would make me so happy.
I am honestly blown away by the quality of this animation
You guys honestly deserve so much recognition for this! The visuals were stunning and definitely deserve to be seen for a lengthy 20 mins or more!
not going to lie, this was probably one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Really fantastic.
Dude, you have no idea how inspiring and motivating this is! The talent and creativity behind it!
Amazing job! I love the vid!
This is honestly ridiculous. And the fact that someone would put so much effort for such a crazy idea is bonkers but it came out so, so good.
Somebody give these people an award!!
the next chapter of animatrix we didnt ask for, but deserved all along.
The 2D to 3D perspective and animation looks really good here.
