- My final for Storyboarding this year, I'm proud with how it all turned out and hope it does the song justice!
"Cabinet Man" by Lemon Demon, the rest is by me.
EDIT: Had to reupload because UA-cam wouldn't let me fix a color error without doing so, since it is after all a garbage website.

Holy cow I never thought my freshman year storyboard final would ever reach half a million views…Thank you all. 4 years and one pandemic later I’m finally graduating with my BFA. I hope to never stop making.
Honestly yoy are one of creators that got me into animation! So glad your animation got so popular! Congrats on graduations!
(Liking just now because it is my second account, and recently i searched up old videos I used to watch like maniac)
u deserved it!
Reminder that the “change” is literally his lungs, when the boys ripped open the machine they LITERALLY ripped his lungs apart, along with his face, then vandalized his body
And the fact he’s dying cause of lack of players cause his lungs collect change
I think what you mean is the change is his air since when the arcade stops being all popular he says it’s hard to breathe
I think the change box is his lungs
I still don't think they deserved death.
@@elliot._.119 hi, thought I'd leave a reply on the comment, if anyone else than Elliot sees this reply, check out his content, it's pretty cool
@@senireye.5597 AHWA- HELLO!? THANK YOU-
When you realised this guy is consciously murdering dozens of people while he sits there, idk there something about the idea of a machine being fully conscience with working organs inside that are binder with the electronics that always disturbs but at the same time I love it.
Maybe he kinda lost some morals or started to insane alone all that time?
I think he was eating people. Like a zombie. He probably needed fresh blood
this doesnt even look like a animatic. the lines are so crisp and professional. i love this so much and your effort shows in it greatly. you are an amazing artist. keep ip the good work.
Fnaf anyone?
Invader Zimmy [Sara Corso] I’ve actually gotten a few comments about it feeling FNAF like funnily enough!! As much as I appreciate the creativity of that series, a lot of inspiration for this project came from the works of comic book horror artists/illustrators (mainly Laurie Lipton because of her biomechanical themes and Junji Ito because of his amazing use of timing scares within his stories). If you enjoy a good scare, give them a search! Do be warned they get quite gruesome, but if you like FNAF’s darker themes I’m sure you’ll be fine!
I mean the quality of art isn't what makes it an animatic or not, the purpose of animatics is to define the timing for a full animation, kinda like a storyboard
@@kittenartist8908 I mean, the story itself is based on Polybius. But I guess more popular things are gonna be what people think other things are referencing.
@@zerutonii5556 ya
I was staring at it bleeding on the ground waiting for it to do the thing.
Thank you for delivering.
*pokes cabnit* cmon do something
@@kt_laptop2835 congratulations, your accomplishment will be wiped from history in mere moments
Same
What thing?
@@cherrify3498 the *thing*
(The thing is where something pops out of the machine and k!lls the kids or something)
the blank, unreadable screen of the cabinet is so much more unnerving than any of the animatics that give it a face.
Yeah!
Agreed, fear of the unknown is way worse than fearing something you can see
@@mehpainter Also it shows it's not a cutesy robot, but rather a box filled with organs
@@Fionacle You are right, I’ve only seen one other one where it doesn’t have a face or eye of some sort and it also is pretty good, although this one depicts it as basically the Projectionist from Bendy And The Ink Machine but with an arcade cabinet head instead of a projector head, I’ll link it here if you wanna watch it (don’t worry I don’t Rick Roll, I like them but I don’t do it myself):
Here’s the link (I meant to do it in the last comment but UA-cam won’t let me edit it): m.ua-cam.com/video/xf55dKWfSM0/v-deo.html
The idea that his consciousness is so intact that he can make decisions and be completely aware of his surroundings while his body rots and decomposes in the machine is the best take of this i’ve scene. The blood with the skeleton seems to imply that the wires have become like a vascular system, the machine is a like secondary living body holding on to his mind while his corpse lays dead inside. I just love this concept, it’s the creepiest version
*Exactly*
Epic
@@Agpicklefeet You did amazing, what is it about Lemon Demon that brings out the creativity in people?
I like to imagine his body literally fused with the machine, hence him saying painting on my skin and the machine bleeding.
It’s giving springtrap
there is no doubt this is one of the best fan animations for spirit phone. the lines, the extra character given to the narrator, the fluidity of it, EVERYTHING brings it together to be such a perfect fit for the song. you have a load of talent!
UH IS THAT A FELLOW HOMESTUCK?!?!?!
@@poorlydrawn2dfromgorillaz431 no i just havent bothered to change my icon since 2015 :|
mackie goss No shame. Homestuck is a scar we must bare with dignity.
@@Agpicklefeet Oh yeah i have liked it since 2013 so im a goddamn veteran
Hot steamy load of talent
This is one of the only few animations that actually give it some justice, and I love it because Cabinet Man was the first Lemon Demon song I heard, making me fall in love with Neil's songs
I’m so glad I could give you a good portrayal of such an awesome song!! My first exposure to Lemon Demon was Touch-Tone Telephone but Cabinet man is my honest to goodness favorite next to Eighth Wonder probubly!
Mine was modify.
mine was two trucks ;-;
@@turtleboi456 then you're a god.
Hey Mista he’s gonna gain up on u- MISTA SHOOT THE FUCKER, HES GONNA FREEZE EVERYTHING.
I’d say this is probably the only animatic that explains exactly what happened as the others just don’t explain how he’s in the machine.
Edit: on a random note this is probably the most popular comment I have so kudos :)
i thought it was kind of obvious that in the other animatics that he made himself half-cabinet
Richard Chicken no it was I just like specifics rather than here he is he’s half man half arcade with no sort of small lead up to it
@@robertpaiva4953 he wasnt murdered
@@richardchicken923 I thought he just kinda got shoved into a game cabinet and died
@@Thalia_Aquaticaa he did it to himself
since they fpund him in HIS workshop
Wow the quality is so high, I can’t believe this only has 500 views. Btw nice touch uploading this on Christmas Eve haha
THE POST DATE WAS 100% INTENTIONAL HAHA, I didn't initially post it after my semester had ended so I saved it until the 24th.
I never would have noticed that without it being pointed out; incredible.

UPDATE: Sorry to all deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, I finally got the corrected captions up so you don't just see the [MUSIC] thing anymore!!
Okay your a saint I ain't hearing-impaired but I can still respect the effort it took to do that
@Kendrick Charlie you guy's again listen ya scammers quit it
because thats what heros do
I read this as a insult for some reason.
@@ifunny4442 Oh gosh it wasn't, if ANYTHING it was an insult to UA-cam's terrible "automated" captions which don't even try. It was my fault for not checking sooner after posting tho haha.
I’m gonna be honest, I never really understood the song but holy hell this puts it to light
I saw somewhere that it was about the polybius urban legend, but just like the arcade in the legend, the comment seems to have disappeared.
@@nnnn-rt2pb iirc Neil said it was inspired on polybious but not ABOUT it
@@spillednoodles9847 thanks for correcting me, but I honestly don’t care
@@nnnn-rt2pb I know this comment is 2 years old but was the rudeness necessary back then?
I’m commenting this at nearly 1 am but I just saw that this hit 10,000 and I can’t thank everyone who’s sat through the video and enjoyed my work. It means the world to me.
It's not bad
it. is a fuckin amazing animatic??? it's a new idea compared to a lot of the ideas people have for the song. it's rlly enjoyable
This is some neat stuff dude
30,000 now!!
well didnt this blow up
The "File photo" of him just looking like a gremlin made me laugh so hard. That's gonna be me one day tbh.
Ngl that’s just me.
that's me *now!* i'm a filthy goblin girl and i wouldn't have it any other way

All of these nice comments make my heart absolutely MELT thank you all so much it means the absolute world to me to know you guys enjoyed my work
Bro I remember seeing this Xmas eve and being really upset the next day cause I couldn’t find it. Glad you got everything sorted. I love how well done this is! Keep up the good work!
I had to re-upload because of a coloring issue that was driving me nuts!! It's staying up this time though, promise!
I cant imagine the smell he would leave,
Wouldn’t anyone be worried about were the smell is coming from???XD
Mixifóòx Someone asked this earlier and the new explanation for the lack of a smell is that the arcade just had a really bad stink to begin with haha
Agpicklefeet LMAO
cant smell like death if your not dead
With this interpretation's blank eye pictures, I also imagined he can kind of hypnotize people so that they don't care as much about all the weird stuff as they should, but this ability wasn't strong enough to keep people interested in him indefinitely.
Fnaf
this is fantastic!! all the cabinet man animatics are great and i'm glad there are so many super high quality ones like this!!
yooo your profile picture is banana man! i get the reference. i love that song!
Hold up I saw you on Doing This from Spies are Forever and commented on your Banana Man pfp, what's happening
@@gloomz3r I am inevitable.
@@no1mayorofsimpleton oh no
Oh so THATS what this song was about.
What did you think it was about..?
This truly deserves more attention! every character looks so unique and you firmed up the story to this song in a very satisfying way. Also, the Cabinet Man's skeleton at the end was such a light touch but it was unnerving in the best way.
This comment made my day, thank you so much
Where Is the Skeleton?
I'm so upset that I missed the chance to screen-cap my video receiving 69,420 views.
F
This animatic is amazing! Ive been listening to this song so often recently that i kind of forgot what it felt like to hear it for the first time? But the visual storytelling in this animatic really helped me relive that vividly. Especially the beginning, which is not a thing many other animatics really ruminate on, but you did, which was really cool.
I love how the song was interpreted and twisted right at the end. It feels like the cabinet was keeping a promise yet with animated context turned it into a threat.
Initial news report: arcade owner murdered and organs stolen
After Christmas news report: ok so funny story
That same news reporter: AND NO ONE *CHECKED* THE CABINET???
Lyrics:
The day they found me, I hadn't yet been played
Inside my workshop behind the old arcade
Electric desires had unraveled all my wires
Now I'm in the box for safekeeping
The news reporters reported that I died
But all my organs were living on inside
Circuit board to brain with two lungs collecting change
One big human heart gently beeping
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
Thank God for business, they let me take the floor
I stood so proudly, like I was going to war
Players soon appeared and I quickly was revered
This must be what love would have felt like
Such dedication, they came from miles away
With eyes so piercing, they'd wait their turn to play
In perfect patient lines because I was in their minds
I could do whatever I felt like (Whatever I felt like)
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
I'm happy for years and years
And only eating the occasional maintenance man
Only driving a few kids to madness
Maybe they were predisposed to madness, who knows?
I only want to have fun
But now they're telling me my days here are done
'Cause there's a little tiny box they make in Japan
And pretty soon it's gonna fit in your hand
It's getting lonely, it's getting hard to breathe
The arcade's empty, I think it's Christmas Eve
Someone's broken in, now they're painting on my skin
Breaking me and taking my quarters
Bashing in my face with a crowbar
Kicking me and pushing me over
Now they see my blood on their sneakers
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
I hardly ever see animatics with this much extra storytelling added, and never done THIS WELL! You should be very proud.
oh my god I can't believe I'm saying this in 2020, but the skull in the box gave me SEVERE fnaf vibes and I'm HERE for it
Vynnie No shame! I honestly admire FNAF in some ways for being such a unique idea for a horror game, and the fella who worked on it deserves props for being a one man developer!
@@Agpicklefeet The inspiration was because people said his style made everything looked like scary animatronics
@@p0rtalsg4ming59 I heard about that! I think specifically I remember hearing Jim Sterling comparing his earlier games to Chuck-E-Cheese animatronics and Scott Cawthon took his criticism and it inspired FNAF? If I'm remembering the story right?
@@Agpicklefeet That's it right there!
i found this while looking for cabinet man fnaf animatics actually, haha
I’ve listened to this song so many times but 3:35 was the first time that part gave me chills. The storytelling with this is uncanny, and the way the shots are framed is really clever. I can’t wait to see more of your style!
The scene showing the skeleton inside gave me chills
10/10 would watch again
The “Cabinet Boy” at 2:56 is genius, and I loved the blood on their sneakers part. It’s by far the coolest interpretation of what the story would look like!
This was amazing, my only question is what was with the arm laying on the ground at the beginning after he put himself inside the arcade machine?
Brandon Styve Yes! It is what’s left of his body after putting his head, heart, and lungs into the machine!
Agpicklefeet ohhh ok so the scenes of him inside the machine typing on a keyboard were simply metaphorical?
@@captainmartinwalker2848 They were more like flashbacks of him planning to make himself into a cabinet!
@@Agpicklefeet dude i love your brain, mostly because you think of this song just like i do. XD
@@Agpicklefeet ok so just out of curiosity, how did he do it himself??
also you did a great job on this, he seems like the perfect guy to do something like that for some reason lmao
this is so incredibly professional that it blows my mind it was just made for fun. this serves as a lot of inspiration to get started on animatics of my own. thank you so much for this!
That's the best I could have hoped for, knowing my art inspires others is the best feeling!!
The "blood on their sneakers" part always gives me chills. Probably my favorite part.
I love this to hell and back that ending was amazing
THATS WHAT ITS ABOUT?!?!? THATS SO FRIKEN COOL!!!! THIS MAKES WAYYY MORE SENSE!
this is amazing! youre so talented! this mustve been hard work im so glad to see the final product
jack hes lego maniac Oh man, considering I did this as a final the work load was pretty stressful! The pre-production was done over the course of about a month but I ended up doing the bulk of the work within about a week and a half!
I do not recommend this kind of stressful time constraint, but I am very proud of the final product! I’m glad you enjoyed it, it really makes the hard work pay off!
I have a small head-cannon that at 3:43 the little disturbance in his voice is him using the machine's speaker system to actually start talking so they goons can hear everything he says from then on making it 10x more terrifying
100% behind this, that is terrifying. Especially if its distorted because of the damage to the machine.
@@Agpicklefeet Oh so good!Even better if the sound reverb is bouncing of the shattered interior and head oh gruesome but so cool!
3:38 i think that lemon demon repeating that verse, is the machine talking to the robbers in a broken tone.
This is... *criminally* good. You have no idea how much I appreciate
This is still my favorite visualization of this song. The depiction of the person inside, the white eyes, the cords wrapping around people, the skull at the end... iconic
I found out about this video like a yesterday, I love the execution of the story. However, I have question:
What is going on during 2:33 - 2:34, where Cabinet Man is gripping a screwdriver? He is in the machine at this time, correct? He seems upset, for some reason? Is he not happy about fulfilling his "electric desires"? Is he feeling some regrets over his decision? He said that he was "happy for years and years" after that over that one part of the song, but how much of that is true?
SO my idea was that scene as well as the others that take place in the workshop are all flashbacks of him progressively turning himself into a machine. The scene you mention 2:33 - 2:34 , I imagine takes place as he's grappling with the decision to sacrifice most of his body to become the Cabinet Man as we know him (before he's confined himself in there).
Although this is my original interpretation, I do like to implement death of the author; so I'd love to hear your thoughts!
@@Agpicklefeet Oh ok, That makes alot more sense. I always thought that the other scenes were him already in the machine playing against other people, but it makes alot more sense that they were flashbacks working on becoming Cabinet Man. Along with "this was what Love must have felt like", I also thought it was him receiving positive attention upon when he was revealed at the arcade.But I'm guessing that was another flashback and monitoring his heart to see if it was compatible/working with his modified cabinet.
He turned himself into an arcade cabinet
funniest shit I've ever seen
Please somebody respond im losing my mind
To me its more on the creepy side of things. Things like this interest me, and freak me out at the same time
@@quinnforrester7833 thank you so much, you are the shining star in my darkest night
this made me laugh so hard that i decomposed, thank you
thank you SO SO MUCH for getting me into lemon demon btw
@@crimsonfirecatgaming I listen to Spirit Phone at least once a week- I’m so sorry to have passed the curse on to you as well dear viewer 😭
total madlad just turned himself into an arcade cabinet just for the hell of it
Okay but imagine you and the boys out vandalisin an arcade machine before Christmas keeps you indoors then it starts bleeding and ominously singing
THIS IS AMAZING. fits the song perfectly !
ik right? its so gooood!
"...with two lungs colecting change." "It's geting hard to breath" "Breaking me and taking my quarters"
i like that you left out some of his body parts at around 0:43 since he couldn’t fit his entire body into the machine
:)
I’m in utter disbelief at seeing my own video at 100k views, I can’t thank you all enough.
this is amazing!! It deserves the 100k views
Super professional
THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CABINET MAN VIDEO. It’s absolutely so great, and I love how the guy looks too, he makes me smile really big idk why.. either way this is so damn good! amazing work ❤️
this is my personal favorite cabinet man animation
bro this animatic does not need to go as hard as it does. but it DOES and it's amazing
Wrote an entire character based off of this song. Here's their prompt:
Evil, but tends to only attack if provoked. This character died but was brought back with a glitch of sorts. They could enter digital realms. They decided to become the character of their own game for a little while but eventually started driving people playing it into madness once they got bored. They managed to escape their own realm and now torment people by traumatizing them via every game they play until they descend into madness. If someone tries to stop them by destroying their device, hacking, or other means, they're found dead the next day with a note simply saying "Game over".
Thoughts?
This is a really tiny detail but i am in LOVE with how the lyrics/captions go into full capitalization in the last chorus. Just the static shot of the broken machine, slowly zooming in, is SO cryptic. The shot where you realize again that it’s (half) human.
You're the first person to point that out :) Thanks for noticing.
@@Agpicklefeet i have captions on for everything, and I think it’s really cool when people put effort and time into captions as much as they do with art/animation. very cool and awesome
just watched this like the fifth time and it was the first time id actually caught the face in the hole in the screen. dunno if i was just to focused on the blood or the song lmao. but then again this time i was watching *and* playing it on my ukulele so idk man
DUDE THIS GIVES ME VIBES IT LOOKS AWESOME
i love your pfp
it’s... entrancing
3:33 YES HOLY SHIT I SCREAMED THE WAY THEIR EXPRESSIONS CHANGE- this is so perfect, i love it!!
I'm sorry why is this in my recommended only now and why is it happening to so many people? Love lemon demon.
This animatic is the sole reason I now know exactly what the lyrics are and are talking about. Thank you so much, I had no idea the machine ate people until now!
I love how many people have mentioned that this helped them understand the song!! I'm glad I could help folks appreciate this banger even more.
HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE?? THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!! its like listening to cabinet man for the first time again
I just noticed that there is "CabinetBoy" written on the gameboy. Truly amazing.
I think I mentioned this in a previous comment, but the fact that I made a spelling error on that frame will haunt me forever haha. Thank you for watching
@@Agpicklefeet XD You know, I didn't notice it, so it doesn't count. Great job with the animatic, and in getting me into other Lemon Demon songs than Touch-tone Telephone. Thanks!
I just found this and god I love how you interpreted the song so much. Also your art is very epic I love
HOW AM I ONLY JUST FINDING THIS??? The expressions, line work and framing are on point!!!!
The quality of this is insane and while watching it struck me I never fully processed the lyrics-
it’s been three years since the first time I watched this AND I STILL LOVE IT SO MUCH
My mans really still had acne in his digi form
Literally shivers at the end there
Wow, the scout broke into an arcade and broke a cabinet. What a jerk
honestly inspired. I've seen almost all of the cabinet man music videos but this has some of my favorite ideas and interpretations of the lyrics. clear vision, good execution, 9/10 wish it was fully animated and the audio was higher quality.
i never payed too much to lyrics when the chorus came up with the line "you can't see me behind the screen" i for some reason always imagined a wizard of oz kind of thing "pay no attention to the man behind the sheet". but with this animatic being.. basically a 1 to 1 translation of the lyrics i probably won't be able to unhear them now while listening in the future
cabinet boy was a nice touch
he didn't even know what love felt like until he was inside the screen...sad
Poor guy had to simulate what love is like...Sad is right!
This could be an SCP
Amazing im speechless
No really im speechless
For me the ending part of the song where he gets broken is just one guy who breaks in and takes his shit. As he is walking away he sees the blood on his shoe. A fist rises from the broken screen and an inhuman combination of wires, flesh, and bone. The monster chases the man down until he tackles him and as the "Duh duh duh duh duh dah" part is what the monster is yelling as he caves in the man's head with the crowbar, swinging to the beat.
I'd love to see your rendition of that :) It sounds like a really cool design for the Cabinet man at the end.
@@Agpicklefeet I wish I had the time and/or the skill.
well now i’m scared of arcade machines thank you
It’s about a guy who dies from a arcade machine and he now possesses it and collects victims
this needs to become a scp
agreed
if i could write
This animation literally clarified some of the lyrics and events in the song to me. Amazingly made, very creative and has a lovely style! Loved the "CabinetBoy" detail too!
I LOVE THIS
God this explains the story so well, shit this song is scary
DUDE THIS IS SO GOOD
Thank you!
The concept of the song is ALOT MORE creepier with this,but is SOO good
I like that you left whatever horrible things that happened to those three people up to the viewer's imagination, very cool
Little behind the scenes fact: I had initially scripted to show them getting torn apart (visually obscured so we only see the silhouettes) but since this was for a class I ran out of time and ended up really liking the cut to black on the final beat- I agree with you and think it's scarier to leave it up to the viewer to think up what THEY think is the scariest outcome.
@@Agpicklefeet That would've been AWESOME to see ngl, and thanks for the cool fun fact! I hope your teacher agrees with the viewers of this project, because it looks amazing
God, I loved the visual of the arcade cabinet tipped over, smashed, with blood pouring from the shattered screen... you really did justice to Neil's music here. A+, this absolutely rocked!
wow.. I never "really" listened to the lyrics.. chilling. well done!!
The guy at the beginning is so icky I love him
Wow, this is nearly exactly what I imagined happening in the song!
Love that you posted it on Christmas eve
YOU BET I DID!! I saw the chance and I took it.
Also this animatic is like one of the best ones I saw. Aimkid introduced me to this song and I fell in love with it. You’ll be the next aimkid.
@@Jewble Oh my god I WISH, they're a huge inspiration. Their Modify music video is perfection and they deserve the over million views it's just gotten. They're crazy talented.
this slaps!! the part when people break in and ransack the machine especially looks exactly like how the song feels/how I imagined it happening!! very cool!
This is amazing! I can't overstate how great this is! Some definite skill and talent went into making this!
I will never be over the fact that supposedly the inspiration for this was Polybius and it now haunts me more than before
Also this is the best animation for Cabinet Man I've ever seen and I'm honestly kinda shocked by the whole thing because its almost exactly like the animatic I had planned
yes officer this is my gender
He’s kinda cute in an incel way
(Dhdhg no but for real this is one of the best animatics I’ve seen on UA-cam, terrific job)
what?
@Hey I’m Jaii what? i don't know what they mean by cute in an incel way that makes no sense whatsoever
@@sealbeegle9785 after months of rethinking my life choices and coming back to this video having forgotten that I commented this let me explain what I meant: the dude looks kinda cute in a greasy man that doesn't ever get out of his house kinda way, so I used the word incel to encompass that vibe. Hes cute but I would also like to bully him
The ending on this makes it better than my original headcanon where in the end the guys who were destroying him got dragged into the machine and had to play the game for eternity until they beat the whole machine and get pulled into place with the main character.
Turned on captions (music) gee thanks 👍
This needs to be the official music video for this song. It’s fantastic and I love how you designed the characters and the backgrounds!
Please help I think I'm addicted to this song
