Abraham Lincoln's Statue Delivers the Gettsburg Address

[supernatural119]

Why is it that all the good people of the world get shot? v.v

[wheelblack35]

I'm probably the most distant of Grandpappy Abe's family. I live in new Zealand.

[MultiElvisfan1]

Oh, and also I'm distant cousins with President Lincoln as well! :)

[MultiElvisfan1]

I love all your videos HerBunk. I could understand why they are not all professional, but heck I love them despite any differences! Besides Lincoln is my favorite President and Cash did an excellent rendition of it. R.I.P Lincoln and Johnny Cash. 

[MrsMaryBoyle]

Lincoln said- YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME & ALL THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME but YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME__ OBAMA WHERE IS YOUR (REAL) BIRTH CERTIFICATE (ABE)

[bryansensei]

yo HerBunk, BRAVO! I'm an 11th grade U.S. History teacher and I'm going to show this to my class when we get to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address....I was going to show another Johnny Cash version, but I like your version better. nice job!

[Lumotaku]

Where is the statue of John wilkes booth to shut him up???

[tubbypunk]

What software do you use to make this video ? looks very good!

[HerBunk]

@tubbypunk The voice animation was done with an application called CrazyTalk. It can be purchased on the internet. Do a google search and you'll find the Reallusion website. They also allow you to download and use a trial version of Crazytalk for free. Thanks for your interest

(30 years later)

President: We have to stop all the riots in the USA!

Me: *Getting on a bus* Oh yeah.. that's what I was gonna do.

[ApocalypsePlough]

Didn't know Lincoln sounded exactly like Johnny Cash.

Can he sing "A Boy Named Sue", too?

[Smallcherokeegirl08]

It made me want to cry. This is wonderful and you did a great job! I stand proud of you for this. :)

[MegaOverheat]

Even duh im from Slovenia, Im not too small to relaise that Slovenia isnt the only great cuntry.

[lvll138inrs]

when people colonize mars hopefully they will break away from earth and create a nation similair to that of america.

[justintrouble8]

Obama was not the greatest pres you just think that because he is the pres now not then did you know when the oil spill happened and someone asked what he will do to fix it he said im too busy playing golf and this guy was the best pres!

GOD PLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!unless they put the draft back up like there thinking too im moving see another reason why Obama sucks! hes thinking about putting the draft back up

[lollipop56651]

i love learning about history!! Abe is my fave president!

[PiperPilot140]

Who knew Abe Lincoln sounded like Johnny Cash! Wow...Crazy! hahaha.

[EmmaBrownful]

Lincoln was probobly the best presidant ever.

[PiperPilot140]

@EmmaBrownful - Agreed. But, learn how to spell president.

[micah960]

@EmmaBrownful no Obama is the best pre-  haha I cant say that without laughing xD

[EmmaBrownful]

@micah960 but in history. Obama is the best presidant and currently OUR presidant but still, Abraham was still a pretty great presidint. LOLOLOL i cant sppell!!!

[cutykity]

great job!

[artpsych71]

It's not "forefathers" -- it's just fathers..... "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

[tryithere]

His eyes look like a split second after he was shot.

[ripharley89]

thats a beautiful thing to hear this speech. these fucking jackasses in goernment after kennedy are people that fucked this country up and taking our rights away one at a time. Its so sad, if our four fathers seen what these jackasses especially obama has done with this country theyd roll over in there graves. im not anti America but the opposite im a PATRIOT. this country needs to come back like it used to be like WE the people not WE the government and shouldnt be guilty until proven innocent.

[tullepie]

hahaha yes cool animation :)

Equality for All - not just the American people - EQUAL MONEY for ALL - so all people have food and shelter, all over the world

[longfootbuddy]

abraham lincoln, enslaver of white and black men equally...destroyer of the sovereign

[KiCreativeStudios]

Will people STOP with the cheesy preset animation?! It makes Lincoln's speech look like a parody!

Would have been happier with just still photo of Lincoln and the speech, thank you.

[HerBunk]

@KiCreativeStudios This video was made more than three years ago. It was not a "preset animation" but it was crudely done because at that time I was a novice to animation. "Hotel Arizona" which is my most recent video on my channel is much more sophisticated than this and will give you a good idea of how much my skills have improved since I made this video. Thanks for your interest.

[skinnyshit8888]

Sweer!

[redtr100]

ablaaaa

[GanarfGeorgie]

Bravo!

[kitksy12345]

AMEN!!!

[KingofKlubs]

this is the first time Ive heard the whole address, and it is undoubtedly very beautiful. It's a shame that the message and meaning that it symbolises is dead in the US today, liberty and equality have largely dissapeared.

[TransUnicorn]

Lincoln's War made a central govt. possible.

[booksbenji]

I can say the address from the heart. Awesum Man.

[Japanologe]

Awesome!

I'm not even American but still... This is grand!

[Deaen14]

Its Kratos's voice from Tos (tales of symphonia)!

[sarahandmiley1]

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its johnny cash's voice

[hadrien321]

Melted Death, I don't know where you heard that President Lincoln's voice was deep, but I've seen many first hand accounts that claim otherwise. His voice was known to be higher pitched and very nasally, whether we like to think so or not. I've found the most effective Lincoln re-enactor to be Fritz Klein. Check him out, he has studied accounts of the voice.

[TyneBridge56]

The pitch of a man,s voice matters not ,it is the content of his heart that matters.

[iLikePeanutButter9]

SO COOL!!! Thank you! This is so cool.

[kinsey5112]

how did u do that

[susan462]

that was very creative, well done...

[MeltedDeath]

Lincoln I do belive had a deeper voice, and wasn't Southern sounding.

[blueray4]

is that Johnny Cash?

[HerBunk]

Yes it's Johnny Cash. He sounds about how I would imagine Lincoln sounded. Thanks for your interest.

[JoeCfb]

Lincoln's voice was actually very squeaky and shrill.

[hiltinberg]

what program did u use to make him move?

[mammaconlee]

That voice is Johnny Cash's voice off his "America" album. I have it on CD.

[cpking44life]

THESE IS NICE

[SOphi188]

Ya I have to memorize this whole speach!!!!!

[IhateVince300]

me 2

[tootsierollfan101]

me 2 by March 31 and it is March 10

[verde05]

SO SO COOL !!! VERY GOOD

[ChillerBaggins]

Quite well done. Esp. the camera movement zoom in and out with the lip sync.

[popupin]

the mouthing is way off...

[HerBunk]

The voice synchronization is affected by internet connection speed and by the speed of your computer. If you have cable and a reasonably fast computer the lip movement should go synchronized with the words pretty well. Thanks for your interest

[MrsNunya]

I can't get into the talking statue thing. (Sorry--I know that's what took the most time and work.) But when I close my eyes and soak in Johnny Cash's voice delivering Lincoln's words...

well, that's just delicious.

[webkinzluver101785]

lol

[Dramaticact101]

Sweet, I have to memorize this.... so I said it with him it's awesome how they did that with the statue, but even if if had a little mistake, so what, it was great! And thanks for posting it!

[flyeroftheyear4444]

It's not four fathers, it's just fathers. i know it's messed up

[HerBunk]

In this video the statue says "forefathers" instead of "fathers" as was actually said by Lincoln. "Forefathers" is another word for "ancestors". The statue also throws in an extra "for" and uses "and" twice where Lincoln didn't. You are the first person to notice these inaccuracies. Thanks for your interest.

[Pivotfan300]

this is so cool!

[broady]

Uh...wasn't Lincoln from Illinois? Why in the hell does he sound like he is from Kentucky??? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

[HerBunk]

That's Johnny Cash doing his best immitation of Lincoln. Unfortunately Abe died well before sound recording devices were invented so we don't know what HE actually sounded like. Thanks for your interest.

[broady]

OBAMA should do it...it would be a lil more realistic.

I still enjoyed it for the most part though.

[theprophet20]

When Lincoln is portrayed in movies and documentaries, it is usually by an actor with a deep sonorous voice. But by all accounts, Lincoln possessed a thin, high-pitched voice with a so-called "Hillbilly" accent as he was a man who came from mountain stock. Probably the best modern equivalent would be, unlikely as it seems, Jed Clampett of the Beverly Hillbillies!

[mpolzkill]

broady: I can't tell if you are laughing at the video or at your own strange sense of humor. Lincoln WAS from Kentucky, silly person.

[DiamondDragonAndLove]

It is Johnny Cash :)I like this vid very much! 5 stars!

[wildcats202]

That statue is just a copy of the Zeus statue in Greece.Americans copy everything and say they made it.

[HerBunk]

I've read dunber comments than this but it's been a while. The main influence for the building was the Temple of Zeus. The statue is based on Matthew Brady's photographs of Lincoln. In science, technology and the arts, Americans are innovators and inventors. Name any five SIGNIFICANT things invented by Canadians. Name any Canadian who walked on the moon. Thank you for your interest.

[theprophet20]

I've never been to America, but until recently Ive always promised myself that if I ever got to Washington, that I would like to stand in awe at the Lincoln memorial. However I now believe that the first place I would like to visit there would be the Adams Memorial at Rock Creek Cemetery...

[smu137]

Really sounds like Johnny Cash!

[Noremae]

how!!!meaningful

[sushidude95]

touching !

[KxCisRAD]

Omggg.

That is soo cool =]

[phy94]

Even the stone cry:God bless the USA.

[Sackrider5000]

@phy94 Allah smite the USA

[suzeeisme]

feel good video! you are great!

[NemFX]

This might just be me.. But he sounds like Johnny Cash.

[manlyman80345]

Very, very nicely well done. I'm writing a musical on Lincolns life, so this video is awesome.

[OnlyMyOpinion]

That was very good 5 Stars!!!

[Rokugo]

awesome, Happy 4th all!
