    Thank you so much for talking about Spark! They are my favourite band as well and I had no idea that you loved them! I actually saw them live last summer, it was a godlike experience ("My Baby's Taking Me Home" was a masterpiece live) so I highly recommend seeing them live as they are still touring a lot. Thanks for introducing Sparks to more people!!!!

    As a Brazilian, I love to see Acabou Chorare recebing the praise it deserves. Also happy you talked about Os Mutantes, their two first albums(they were called the Brazilian Beatles and Brazilian Pink Floyd but personally I think that they are way forward thinking than both of these bands). You should check Milton Nascimento - Clube da Esquina, one of my favorite albums of all time, it has some of the most well written harmonies of all time.
    Also, would love a video on Nick Drake catalogue(easily the most intimate artist of all time and with such gorgeous and personal songwriting, he only has 3 albums but if you listened to them before this video I guarantee would thay maybe his whole catalogue would be on this list). Also, if you like Baroque Pop you should listen to the early Scott Walker output.
    More videos about the Beach Boys would be pretty incredible too, thanks for the well made and funny videos man.

      I would love to do a tutorial video some day. For now I’ll tell you this (if it’s helpful):
      The way I did the animation is by drawing the eyes and mouth separate from my face and body, and then I use keyframes within my editing software to make the eyes move and blink, and I change the mouths and arm movements to fit with my inflections. Then I make all of that a compound clip, which basically makes all of the moving parts one entity, so I can use keyframes to move around my entire body, with facial expressions and all.
      Besides that. It’s a lot of stock footage and music videos I got from UA-cam, gifs, and using keyframes to animate pngs and jpegs. I added film grain to blurry gifs and videos, because it hides the blurriness and instead makes it look vintage.
      That’s the main stuff, and I would start with that. The animation is of course tougher. But even just getting pictures and videos and learning how to use keyframes to make them zoom and move goes a long way towards making your videos more interesting.
      Let me know if you have any questions.

      I made the new animated character a couple days ago, so MOST of the video is animated with the old animation style. But I think that will be nice closure for people who miss the old avatar.

      I initially drew the new guy just because I wanted the thumbnail to have original art. But I liked it so much that I decided to draw a bunch of new eye and mouth combinations and make it my new avatar.

    • @TheWaterlooWatermelon
      @TheWaterlooWatermelon  Рік тому

      Oh yeah, I love that song. It initially came out in 1983 on an album of various artists called Splashdance. Minnie Mouse is great! The rest of the album, not so much, haha! The footage I used while talking about Mickey Mouse I actually pulled from the official Sparks Minnie Mouse music video.

      It is called Rate Your Music. But be warned, although it is really interesting seeing how the community ranks albums, it can also be SUPER negative a lot of the time and the community for some reason seems to be really hard on most albums.
