Jason Forrest - War Photographer

[jockynerd0201]

Basically, marching bands own everybody

[cheatedxxhearts]

I liked.

[sizone]

Why the hell this doenst have more than 150,000 views is beyond me.

[rpgjohn]

Anyone know that sequence starting around 3:50 is an homage to? I feel like some 80's mgm or looney toons or some series like that had one little sub series that always ended like that with the stark colored shaped and the brass playing.. Almost tempted to say rocky and bullwinkle but I couldn't find the outro I was thinking of... so frustrating

[ArmandKarlsen]

Why has this video got only 120k views since 2005?!

[brainfoodforthought]

This is my Cup of Tea - Brilliant

[Musathic495]

I'm glad I found this again. I just wish the music was synchronized as good as the original .gif I had seen years ago. Ex: 1:08 the music should change exactly as the attack comes out of the guitar. Everything is off by a second or so, it is mildly disconcerting.

[OmuNegru06]

wtf



[samisyosam]

Yes, because naturally any viking battle at sea WOULD turn into a giant robot standoff eventually...

[ALittleGlassVial]

made me smile. C:

[JoNyB0i]

Happy 420! greatest video right now

[FantasmaTEE]

reminds me of samurai jack

[chokladelefant]

This is cute.

[tehgamer1]

The ending was a little... unfulfilling. It just didn't really feel like a true resolution to such a finale as the rock/marching band crescendo.

[DavidAngelMedina]

this is just AWESOME!

[theyoungmc]

this vid reached an epic level of epicness

[verymoldy]

A very slick cover of Go Down Gamblin' by Blood Sweat and Tears!

[Matt10670]

Too bad Vikings didn't actually fight like this. The Dark Ages would have been pretty sweet.

[MrGreen2800]

very creative, i enjoyed every second

[standamanisdabest]

That was so cool I might have peed a little.

[socaleejam]

i can't get tired of watching this video again and again...

perfect

[socaleejam]

AWESOME

[TheArthart]

Very well done. Is there a download link for the music?

[Karasaph]

Wow. A rock and jazz, electro and drum'n'bass crossover.

This thing is awesome!

[herrflax]

Needs more cowbell!

AWESOME!!!

[spunkynutz]

this looks like the same animation as Samurai Jack!

[Kauz42]

That's exactly what I thought! Samurai Jack rules!!

[cljanney]

Bjorn to Rock!

[XomB]

If this video was a newspaper I'd piss all over it

[anonymous0s0egion]

lololol

[ThomasWerff]

I would read it every day..

[XomB]

well you shouldn' cos your hands will smell all pissy

[aldon0]

Where can i get this video?

its too good to pass.

[Spankybankykanky]

It's probably found elsewhere, but at least it can be found on the "Pictoplasma - Characters in motion vol.2" DVD.

[MrPointless]

Awesomest.

[FellaToast]

Rock n' roll robot vikings are the bomb diggety!

[LulJam]

I love it when the cowbell guy and the trumpet guy come out. HAHA this video is sick

[jacobz20]

this is why vikings make the best roadies and rock stars

[ajcirko]

MECHAVIKINGZILLA!

[Vares65]

I have no idea what I just saw, but I like it!

[uns3en]

AWESOME TO THE MAX!

[2170008]

why cant i see the video

why cant i see the video 8g

[Rukhage]

Heavy Metal Viking Power Rangers GO! Hahaha!

[curiousjapan]

This is a great video. Weirdly, something about the lead viking guitarist with the headband always reminds me of Teodor from Achewood.

[rdangelo]

FYI, this is a remix of Go Down Gambling by Blood Sweat and Tears with a little Spinning Wheel thrown in at the end. Awesome video.

[santiagoXP4]

Dude! thanks for the info...my band is thinking of playing this and now I know were I can find the tabs for this song!

[thickterranarmor]

vikings in a transforming robot-boat and demons in a transforming robot-boat fighting each other using the power of rock?

HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!

[ajcirko]

animation style reminds me of a more detailed, but gruffer looking Samurai Jack

sick song though.

[whyohwhynousername]

@ajcirko I was just about to say that!

[RespIendency]

yeah, it's really similar.. no outlines on anything

[thechaosofpeace]

Heh. I don't even know why people marked you down. You were't spamming. You actually wrote a review. Nice blog, it's interesting.

[animationblog]

Thanks for this. I guess those who labelled my post as spam just didn't go further than the lazy click. And a nice comment regarding my blog. Much appreciated.

[tleilatr0nx]

this some rad ish

[theswans0ng]

Giant Psychedelic Robot Guitar Battle

[lithio29]

what more could you honestly ask for

[denshiblocks]

somebody watched UPA cartoons in art school...

[Suavsilk]

frakin awsome

[bobmartin153]

god this is awesome lol

[rpgjohn]

Yeah, after listening to Spinning Wheels it's definitely taken from that... However, what about the animation? Does that type of animation during the very end sort of going back and forth between almost stamped-on characters seem reminiscent of the end of any old cartoon shows? Maybe I'm just crazy.

[badaudio]

Wow, what would one call this genre of music? The Rock n' Roll licks with the Techno/Indie (Sorry to group the two together,I really mean like a mix of those two) beats and basslines, really have me confused as to what to call it.

[x0p30d3]

breakcore

[MidnightTommo]

Rock + Techno = Rochno!

Very nice tune, regardless.

[lindareena]

Correction....I meant Spinning Wheel by Blood Sweat and Tears...(it's 4am lol)

[platinum01]

no you're right that's what it is! very good!

[lindareena]

I think it is Spinning Wheel by Chicago....what goes up, must go down, spinning wheel, 'round and round...

[ramanjahni]

i think its from creedance cleerwater revival but i"m not sure

[rpgjohn]

Anyone know what the ending sequence from 3:48 to the end (but especially around 3:48-3:55) is from? It's driving me crazy. I know it's from the end of some old cartoon but I can't remember which one. Same song and animation style... Grrrrr...

[Crossroadsinc]

Its wierd, When I showed this to my Dad, he swore that the ending music was from something, but he couldn't rmember what it was either.

[rpgjohn]

Aw man, so frustrating, haha, someone tell us!!! :'(

[amoosewithwheel]

If you like this... you should probably check out the source material.

Going down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat and Tears

[domedagsmaskinen]

Jason Forrest (aka Donna Summer) is BJORN TO ROCK!

[SirCliveSinclair]

???

[yberotten]

nice

[moalisiddiqui]

The animation for this oddly reminds me of episodes out of Samurai Jack, no? I love the music.

[claudekiller]

This is so damn perfect! It's very catchy, once u hear it u want more of that ^_^

[gorgo333]

its like a mixture of techno, rock, disco, and jazz.

THIS SONG COLDENT ROCK ANY HARDER@!!!!!!!

[gorgo333]

go away

[Angelbreaker17]

it's very pretty...

[PhilosopherShale]

Sweet ODIN'S BEARD! I stumbled across this by accident, and I'm damn glad I did. I haven't seen/heard something this awesome in months. Oh yeah, that's how the Vikings do it, baby. With RAWK! Ho, yee-hay-ah!

[JohnnyThunderzzz]

i wonder why this didnt became a hit?

i guess it would have been ahit back in the time when fatboyslim was rocking the charts.

i like both of Forrest LPs but i must say, some stuff really reminds me of old fatboyslim days.

either way, great song, vid and records!

[krugerrand13]

2 words, FOG MACHINE

[TaylorRDanS]

w.t.f

[aquafetta]

i love this song and i saw the vid on ny noise!~this song and video is madddd awesome!!!!1

[xylopsyche]

the video is great..the song kinda ruins the whole vibe of the toon in my opinion.

[tsferg]

Wow thats a sweet little video.

[modestbill6]

Saw this on Channel Frederator. Good tunes and wacky animation. Love it =]

[mccallionr]

that was the most amazing short i've ever seen.

[tsferg]

A penchant for hyperbole perhaps?

[mccallionr]

naw, i was really high when i saw it. still great.

[PounamuKnight]

I laffed, I cried, I rolled on the floor & made a fool of myself in front of the cat!

1 of the best vidz eva...! well, until 2morro.

Thanx 4 the post, hphovercraft!

[EngineerScott]

This is awesomest!

Vikings + guitars + rock + marching band + giant fighting robots = WIN!

[jim1664]

Mmmm. Good stuff.

[JohnnyThunderz]
