Harmonic Balance - my version of Animusic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 бер 2009
- This is an updated HD version of Harmonic Balance.
This video is similar to Animusic's animated video tracks. However, my track was created without the aid of their special proprietary software. It was built from scratch and animated note for note. My video features a number of 3D animated Segway HT parts (wheels, motors, gearboxes, parking stands, etc.) autonomously playing music. - Фільми й анімація
Jesus christ. Im back at another animusic nostalgia grind and I couldnt forget this one. One of the best fan made animations by far and still holds a special place in my heart
Yep me too man
Same here
this and ball machine are probably the highest quality ones ever made, here's hoping this revival sparks some old talent back again.
Back when I first watched this in 2013, I had always wondered what the Wheel in the back was for. Now since i'm listening to this with headphones, i now know that it's used for bass!
I know same here, I didn't hear it either
I watched this when I was in middle school, and it has been stuck in my subconscious until now. I feel like I unearthed an ancient internet artifact in my brain. Thank you for posting this all those years ago. The incredible skill it took to make this is the reason why it was stuck in my mind for nearly a decade
i originally watched this when i was around 6, yet feel the same.
Now it’s my turn even though I started watching this back a the age of 8
No problem! I love your work, and I would LOVE to see a true HD version of this! Thanks for replying so quickly!
This video has been up for 14 YEARS and yet still has UNDER 200K VIEWS!? HOW!? THIS DESERVES SO MUCH MORE LOVE THAN IT HAS! The low-poly-ness of it is super charming and brings me back to the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Love it, but man, when I see how that snare and bass drum is played, I just wanna scream "OMG! You're gonna kill the instruments!" :D
And the bearings. You are going to weaar little pits int the races running them like that.
Don't say kill it is good
I kinda thought the same thing. It's an interesting concept, but it seems a little more practical to have the sticks move and not the drums themselves lol. But overall video music and visuals are so well done

just re-finding all these old videos is a kick in the gut- how could I ever forget about these?
I love the bass player robot that rolls back and forth in the background. >w
Calamity556
Haha, wow, all these years and I'm just now realizing I uploaded the wrong file. Oops. Good catch ;)
of course after all these years listening to it i still enjoy watching and listening to it. it is truly a work of art.
That robot thing with green/red "eyes" was the cutest!
I like how the guitar instrument thing's sound switching from the different sides of the computer or headphone ear.
This is really good! I love the groovery, the sound, and rhythm! You definitely need to do another Animusic type style like this! Love your work, even if its as old as it is I still love it!
Spot on man, he really does.
Still loving this in 2016!
More Like 2017! :)
ya right boiii
Oh heck yeah!!
I love the Ball Machine and I love this one - it's nice and impossible!
The music is great too.
2009 :O Time go so fast, afater 4 years i always like this sound ;) Thx again for the video :)
Yup, the guitars are in stereo. They're also in stereo in my other animation, The Ball Machine.
im sure mr lytle would agree that this is animusic worthy! well done
I love the guitar system!
Derek, Your Work is FANTASTIC!!
This is extremely clever
You did GREAT - creating it all from scratch
No "I was brought here by" comments, it's all nostalgists in here
Everyone here knows what they're doing
Really great! Just love it...please keep it up. Cool ideas in all parts of the music and animation.
That's pretty good for someone with no experience! You are one clever SOB Derek Hugger. Well done to you!
This is awesome! 🤩
It looks and sounds even better than the last one! Awesome, man!
This is a cool song! but the instrument (Alarm/Buzzer) thing only plays at the beginning and half-way of the song. It will be even cooler if the (Alarm/Buzzer) instrument played in more parts of the song. If it's possible I would love a version of Harmonic Balance with the Buzzers playing in the background of the chorus and the end the song, although the Buzzers do play in the second chorus of the song but not the first or second though. This will be the one of the most awesome songs I have ever seen if you create a version with the two Buzzers going off in all the choruses. Again awesome song and animations by you!!
What makes this hella cool is how it looks like he just found a bunch of tires and old stuff around the garage and just put them together
The parts are all from the first generation Segway, particularly the i180 model.
@@Derekhugger taking what you have on hand and making something cool type of thing, I love it
Fantastic, you've really outdone yourself in the quality. Looks very clear and has very good and dynamic camera angles. I can also finally hear the bass a bit better. I hope you make more of these sometime.
Wow... just wow. We really do think alike... I dream stuff up like this in my head all the time, but I've never spent the time to figure out how to use the software to make anything of it. I've designed entire buildings, simple and complex machines, engines... and I can see every piece move within my mind, but I cannot for the life of me spend the time to learn the software (CAD, 3DS Max)... despite actually having licenses to all this stuff through work. Ugh!
Like I said, I'm more than happy to teach you. I use SolidWorks, Creo (formerly Pro/Engineer), and 3ds Max regularly.
I like Machines With Music And Sound
Took me years but I finally heard what the thing in the back was doing, it was the bass
Ive seem many imitations of animusic. This is the best. very creative.
Epic nostalgia!!!
With a little bit of texturing modifications, I can see this being in animusic 3 or 4.
Dylan Ladner the fourth one will come out in the 2100's
Fabulous mate! Well done for 2009 Tech, really can see the hard work that went into it. I can imagine it being a real pain animating note by note, I have no idea how you did it as 3D rendering is beyond my tiny little brain, so well done :D great stuff :D
The instrument that makes the bass noise and rolls back and forth is my fav. :3
Very clever. Nice job
Dude this is awesome. Nice work! I have made a few animusic inspired videos, but this is crazy good.
i'm curious to see someone actually make something like this. i wonder if it would be motor ran or kinetic. it's so much fun to watch. and i want that big center piece drummy thing in my room
That’s good I’m impressed 😧
I have the Harmonic Balance video but it has an intro it’s different than this one. I have it since 12/24/2012. I have a folder of all the Animusic videos and Animusic styled videos like this and a few other videos
I love it
Very well done
Most excellent
Very well done man
You need to make an animated album with this stuff. The music is so much more memorable than animusics.
BASS YOU'RE BACK!
@CThompson151 And the old Mac Os logo kinda! made on a mac?
Davvero geniale!!!
Per essere "fatto in casa" è davvero notevole!!!
*****
Excellent
That bass drum always scared when I was younger. xD
Nice!!!
This doesn't appear to be in HD. It's awesome! But it doesn't look like HD.
It's the Segway in the back.
hehe 11 year old comment goes brrr
I would love that for a ringtone
Wht is the wheel going back and forth in the back do?
amazing
Back 12 years later and this is still awesome
read your summary of your work., really impressive doing all that from scratch, keep up on this particular venue, I can't critique much, I know very little about these overgrown abacus. type machines, I usually deal in pencil n paper, catching up slowly tho
What is this chimes instrument in the middle between the wheels called?
@dhugger Can't wait.... you music is really impressive :D
I saw this when I was a kid
what program did u use?
EPIC. U SHOULD MOST DEFINATELY JOIN ANIMUSIC.
This very cool but love the ball machine a lil bit more lol
Love music in credits
my fav
Great
What is this instrument called between the wheels?
Cool sounds like dubstep!!
More like trip hop tbh
we need a 4k or 1080p version
I am curious about how you made the robot so realistically balance and roll like happens for real on a Segway scooter.
Honestly, there wasn’t really any magic there; I just eyeballed it.
Nice
1:16 - 1:37 and 2:20 - 2:41 are my favorite parts. :)
That's extremely catchy! And I'm not just saying that!
One of my favorite animusic videos so far, but I can't seem to figure out what noise the wheel in the back of it makes...
The balancing machine in the back is the bass. Most laptop speakers don't handle low frequencies very well, so you might not hear it. If you plug in a nice pair of headphones or external speakers, you'll hear it.
The bass is way too soft
+dhugger The only complaint i have, (DONT WORRY, it isnt the bass machine) is that it is meant for 2 speakers. if you are one of those people listening to music in class (me) and keeping one earbud out, or just having only one side working in your earbuds, then you can only hear about half of the music. Same with The Ball Machine. Oh well. still great work!
Hey, did you use the same sound for the bells as the minecraft expirience ding?
No, I made this video several years before Minecraft came out. All the sounds are either recorded from a Segway, or they were instruments in GarageBand.
It would be cool if you did more animations like this.....especially due to the fact that the REAL Animusic went fucking AWOL again after PROMISING us that an Animusic 3 was in development. I mean, if they canned the project, they should tell us that it's cancelled instead of keeping us high and dry like this.
***** I don't know the whole story, supposedly and these are just rumors, it got delayed because Wayne Lytle had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, but the surgery failed and it got worse...
what is that 2 flashing green and red thing called
It’s the user interface/display on a gen 1 Segway. It shows battery level and machine status.
Something weird just happened. I pulled up the Segway reference manual PDF and it says the author is "dhugger." Any relation?
People like you pick up where Wayne Little left off!
Hi dhugger! I love animusic! This video is very good and smart also! I like it alot, it should be on animusic its self! Did you know animusic 3 is coming out october 2013?! Keep up the great the great work dhugger!
Wrong. It never happened. :( But there might still be a chance, according to the renovation of the website.
How sick would Animusic Dubstep be?
Kris Man Look up an animation uploaded by TheCGBros called Dubstep Dispute, it's pretty much that and it's awesome!
Now I want to learn 3D animation and music production just to do that.
Just you wait. I've got something better coming... might be a while though. It's a fully mechanical music box. I'm about half way done.
This music track appeared in Animusic 3 (2005)
No it didn’t.
@@Derekhugger Well I just saw it, It practically did!
With all due respect, you are most certainly mistaken. My video was a personal project I created as a learning exercise while in college, and Animusic 3 was never actually released.
@@Derekhugger Well Then, It has been, and I'm not mistaken!
Ah, the bass is much much much much much better on this one.
This is great! I know it's been a while but if you can you should make more Animusic-style animations, I'm sure they'd be just as good as this and The Ball Machine.
Thanks! I made Harmonic Balance and The Ball Machine for fun when I was in college and didn't have the tools to make real things. That said, I don't think I'll be making any more, as physical kinetic art is much more fun for me now :) - www.derekhugger.com
Derek Hugger No problem, and btw the physical kinetic art you've done is really cool too. Keep up the good work!
0:32 that bass kicks in lol
Very Kool! Can you load midi files to your animations and have then play different songs?
No, my music animations are all done manually.
@@Derekhugger dam! That's alot of work!
coool
For some reason, this is giving me "Mr. Rogers" vibes.
Only little thing I would of added is to have the gears bigger for the lower frequencies and smaller for the highs
my favorite part was the whole thing
For some reason that melody at 0:38 sounds weirdly familiar to me
pls show how to make animusic videos
You should make a program out of your videos, Derek, that's my suggestion.
Dhugger dhugger dhugger
if it was up to me I would name this motorz
i dare someone smarter than i am to actually build this irl.
