[Ezekiel199]

Lol, I like how the street people wake up in their sleeping bags. Pretty funny stuff there. I was giggling. Great tribute.

[cuajitoamericano]

Brilliant, man. This is a great tribute to Alexis Cohen, and to Rhett and Link.

[Cheeseanquackers]

woah. how did you do the animation? thats pretty good.

[BIGNATE94]

what animation system did you use?

[bunnasoo2]

Lots! Poser for the bodies, 3ds Max for the heads and the rest of the 3D stuff, After Effects for effects, plus Photoshop, Premier, and Audition for the sound.

[mynameischad]

Wow, this is amazing!

[futureindirector21]

this is awesome!

[GruesomeGreta]

did rhett and link commet on this?

[MartilloDK]

Its an alright animation - It isnt really professional, but I would like to know how you made the lip sync and facial expressions (Just regular bones?)

[bunnasoo2]

Bones for facial animation? I didn't know bones could be used for facial animation. I modeled different expressions and used morph targets.

[WordWithJoshTodd]

I don't know how you aren't a partner. You've got a gift my friend. A GIFT. VERY TALENTED

[toonsmyth]

WOW. Nicely done! You were truly inspired by her words, weren't you?

[Rexonius]

Ah, delightful video. Indeed well-made and considerably professional.

Well done.

[IronMan77710]

wow this looks good enough to be a professional animators work. are you one?

[bunnasoo2]

Ooh, what a life-examining question! I'm not sure... I don't do it for a living but I have gotten paid to do a couple animations in independent movies. So... kinda but not really...?

[IronMan77710]

well great job anyways!

[electricbubbles]

this is amazing! you are so talented

[weeeedoggy]

The one hobo really looks like Rhett. AWESOME!

[RHYisHERE]

for me, it was the hellen keller part. so amazin.. im gonna watch it again!!!

[ties80]

echoing everyone. truly awesome.

my favorite part is when the disco stage lights up.

also. why the hobos?

[bunnasoo2]

Thank you! Hobos were just people really down and out that could be lifted by Alexis Cohen's inspiring words.

[ties80]

understandable.

do you think her words could lift hobos to the flashing stage of disco fame?

[artehaleychoke]

@ties80 cuz hobos after they heard the speech they were inspired to get up and if fancy ppl did that wut would they do ya no tee hee

[0gummyworms0]

omg that is sooooooo cool

how did you make the animations liek what program did you use?

[craigfinc]

you took a great work by rhett and link and kicked it up 20 notches with this work! Simply brilliant! did you use just one app to create the video? if so, care to shre which one? thanks!

[bunnasoo2]

Thank you so much! I used a few programs for it... 3ds Max, Poser, After Effects, Premiere & Photoshop.

[bcvr]

After watching the Rhett and Link livecast last night (06/07/08) I finally checked this out today, because this is decididely my favorite of R&L's songs. I seriously laughed out loud. The references here are amazing.... Phantom of the Opera and Helen Keller!! W-A-T-E-R! I almost hurt myself giggling.

WONDERFUL JOB!

[amazing345]

lol Rhett and Link r, lk, hobos! why r they homeless?

[leahleahleah55]

just one quick question

...why are Rhett and Link hobos?

[happyjoyjoy12]

because this animator gave this song meaning, the meaning of hope. when these 2 hobos heard that speech, they we're inspired and they got some hope.

[artehaleychoke]

@happyjoyjoy12 ya thats wut i was thinking dos

[homesliceme]

That was great! How long did it take you?

[bunnasoo2]

Thank you! It took about a month of working on it about 4-10 hours a day.

[amazing345]

omg lol! rhett and link ROCK!

[7thToa]

What does "huspa" mean?

[bunnasoo2]

"Chutzpah" is a Hebrew word meaning audacity, guts, nerve... that kind of thing.

[wickedloverbutimaboy]

At first i thought, "ugh this is going to be so dumb and cheesy" but when i watched the whole thing, IT WAS AWESOME i love all those different scenes

[Taurine77]

That was great, i saw it first on rhett and link cast and had to find it on here and yeah very good job

[DigiLusionist]

This is great. I love the Chia hairstyle. Was that SasLite?.

The eyebrow movements were a nice touch.

[bunnasoo2]

HAHAHA Chia hairstyle. Nope, just used the hair in Max. For the first time. Obviously.

[nsudock]

Love the Miracle worker part. This is actually better than the original. Even though I love Rhett and Link.

[bunnasoo2]

Hurray, someone got the Miracle Worker reference!!! Thanks!
