War Photographer Video

[WomanInTheRedDress]

How about a big cup of Awesomeness?

[verymoldy]

This is the best mix of Blood, Sweat, & Tears I've ever seen. This animation owns. This music owns. BS&T owns. Everything owns.

[abottleoffuckyou]

The art style is very Samurai Jack-ish. I like it.

[sVirus]

oleg.avi

[iondragonx]

0:52 "Bjorn To Rock" :D

[josephknightcom]

Best. Animation. Ever.

[EpicTitan]

Needs more cowbells....

[BloodBrigade]

I wish I had a trophy that shot lasers from its eyes.

[SpontaneousPudding]

@BloodBrigade

Why would a trophy have eyes?



[TrippyZanbato]

I like how it just devolved into a giant robot battle

[7ty714]

38 people are members of a demon rock band viking crew?

[Darqon505]

wish my jizz was rainbow now

[lollalot]

Where can I get Jason Forest's music from? Is it on Itunes?

[FacelessDeviant]

Getting Brütal Legend vibes :)

[EpicTitan]

3:28 hmmmm next years marching show ideas

[PresidentTronPaul]

Lots of borrowing from Blood Sweat and Tears's - Spinning Wheel, but that just makes the trumpets better.

[InevitableVitare]

AT LAST. After years of searching I have found the music from ctf_vikings.

[TakeBackTheWorld]

3:28

Yes.

[05ea]

reminds me of brutal legend

[SonsOfEasy]

Now THAT is what i call sampling! Wicked! Go down gamblin` vs Spinning Wheel.

[samisyosam]

This is one of those amazing works of art that should have stopped time and reset existence. It just can't be topped.

[dublbz1]

Epic!!!



[boodi1]

ladies and gents

this is one of the 7 Wonders of the world .......

frankly I can't say why .. and probably that's way it stuns so much

[1ceu]

0:59 ...

[Carnifex20]

anybody else reminded of sgt. pepper's lonely heart's club band in the end?

absolutely rocking song+video.

[charliecrack]

that's

 brilliant animation Patrick!

[PeiinNagato]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS ANIMATION??

[Putingrad]

I really like the texture that brass sections can add to rock. It puts a great edge on the music.

[JustHereForTheTacos]

I just realized near the end that it sampled Blood, Sweat and Tears's "Spinning Wheel". Awesome.

[Raveseeker]

Thirty-three people have brain damage.

[BInRt]

This art style is VERY similar to that of Samurai Jack. And that's a good thing :)

[crazyjackc]

@BInRt that was such a good show... i miss it :(

[RoryMay]

This is what Guitar Hero should look like.

[dlpppedwards]

Really, really cool. 

[reheheeeally]

Rock beams totally stolen from Gitaroo Man... which is no bad thing.

[Daedalus969]

@reheheeeally Yes, they're both similar. You know the artist who created this animation stole his work from another how, exactly?

[OpticalDesign]

I will go giant rock n roll robot viking on your ass if you don't like this video. I love the work the Orphanage did before they split.

[mymorningzion]

i love how the trophy says Awesomest

[russell6clacks]

Holee Fuck this was so awesome I think I shat my pants

[StrixAlpha]

This is an amazing song, holy shit. 

[MBRHIndustries]

Fucking awesome.

[RottenKnight]

BLOOD AND THUNDER.

[heckyahoney]

This video reminded me of patapon :o

[BloodBrigade]

Groovy.

[Feanor23x]

Was this video done by Charley Harper's evil twin?

[PrinzMegahertz]

So awesome!

[JHStarner]

This looks like an old world vision of Gitaroo Man...

[TheDeadlyKind]

OH LORDY! Is that some blood sweat and tears "spinning wheel" samples i hear in there? this video is confirmed for awesome tier.

[PeterDeGree]

@TheDeadlyKind

Plus "Go Down Gamblin'" also by Blood,Sweat & Tears.

[zombieman43]

[TommerWine]

So... Brutal Legend?

[e22378]

[godzilladacrazykilla]

mad  niceeeee

[DemajreaFL]

the best stuff, god I can play this over and over, love it

[LuigisNo1]

I'd say TechnoViking is pleased with this song

[yutzwagon2]

Best bass ever, fucking awesome guitar, seamed flawlessly together with the jazzy band stuff, and sealed with vikings demons and giant robots. I love how even just the music tells a story in its progression.

[MrZulQ]

i fucking love this song :DD anyone got mp3?

[ThePotatoShapedSpy]

I love how the map CTF_Vikings FINAL for Team Fortress 2 is based on this song.

[mssnor]

@ThePotatoShapedSpy

heck yes

[jak12321]

@mssnor gotta move that gear up

[franka64]

@ThePotatoShapedSpy I love how the gravy is made of cream.

[Brilchan]

reminds me of Samurai Jack really cool song

[halykan]

@Brilchan Yeah, whoever animated this definitely had some love for Samurai Jack - both the visual style and the content. Pretty awesome.

[jjintheuk]

Weird, funny, great!

[IllflyMandog]

hott!!!

[peanatter]

Cool Blood, Sweat & Tears mashup!

[Shmlegshmlin]

[Saavykaas]

That was awesome.

[KatarnandKanos]

[platinum01]

@ Uber Phantom..Sorry there was an & in there but i guess the Internet decided to eat it?

[platinum01]

meets blood sweat and tears

[rseymour]

Hah! I never noticed the little Jason Forrest polaroid at the end. Classic song.

[TempusCorvus]

This...is like a fusion of funk, rock, and vikings.

Hell yes.

[890409136171]

hahahaaaa.....

Awesome !!!!

[DarkandusZero]

I don't have a clue what I just watched. All I know is it was awesome.

[kronus3rd]

This is fuckign amazing.

[KatarnandKanos]

i want a giant robot guitar playing ship. i'm going to get started on that as soon as i have the money.

[Nouseeker]

awesomest

[UberPhantom]

[platinum01]

Spinning Wheel

[mroethem]

good to see that people are bringing funk back into style.

[jenikatsuya]

I don't know what just happened. I am speechless. That was tremendous.

[SexyTownBrown]

Amazing! Well done!

[TheNinety99]

Wow.

Just Wow.

I'm blown away - amazing video for such a small budget. Works perfectly with the song.

Congratulations!!

[100thmonkey]

[franka64]

ctf_vikings ftw!

[ratter88]

Vikings fucking rock!

[Xunkun]

*rock on gesture*

[Combustible681]

Kicken' Rad

[Xigbar13]

That was the awesomest fucking thing I've ever seen.

[humoongus]

forrest is god of sampling

[LionheartMachinima]

Feckawesome track. Just as feckawesome video.

Well done.

[kitolz]

The people who aren't vikings look to be based on mongols if I'm not mistaken.

[Troggyhordesman]

Helmets and ships are too norse for that, not to mention beards. No, it's vikings for sure.

[Steve0tron]

Haha, "Bjorn to Rock"... nice

[ukimalefu]

Vikings rock!

[born2bewilddude]

5 mate

[thickterranarmor]

vikings versus demons in a rock battle?

I just jizzed in my pants at the awesome.

and I am not ashamed at all.

[daralinn]

Sick ass! Vikings rule!

[FayezButts]

this is so fuckin sick

[atomizen]

proves once and for all that jizz comming out of  trumpet is mightier than that of an electical guitar!! ;OP

[isaaczane]

proves that the electrical guitar is the best and the jizz coming out of the trumpets are fataly annoying

[Skullpanzer]

There is nothing bad about this video.

[Dragmack]

this video is so epic my brained crawled out of my skull through my ear and said "god-DAMN that's epic!"

[civandalic]

Samurai Jack ITV

[BigOlBoxOCrayons]

Oh wow, this is great!

[kittinplus4]

awesome vid for an awesome mashup!

[buildingseas]

oh my i heart this song and video so much. how is it that i haven't seen this until now! totally freakin awesome!

[Wierdoinc]

This video explains a lot to me.

[dirtyeightproduction]

this could be my favourite music video...

[theyoungmc]

viking + giant robots + rock n roll = i can't hear you over the sound how awsome this vid is.

[ErichoTTA]

Seconded.

[Skullpanzer]

Thirdeded.

[asesinorum]

@theyoungmc lol! hahahaha really liked your comment!

[schfiftyfivehundydoo]

wooo ctf_vikings

[pickassoreborn]

Definitely my favourite Joel video. Fantastic!

[bleepim]

Giant Viking Rock Robots!

you cant give shit like this less than a 5

[King560056]

Does this song sample "Spinnign Wheel" or "Lucretia McEvil" ?

[pentherapy]

It samples various "Blood, Sweat & Tears" songs. The Braund Reynolds song "Rocket" also did this, hence it having some parts in common with War Photographer.

[MrGoat911]

I shit myself at the awesomeness of these vikings. They truly rocked the house.

[BF2terminator]

wats the song? at the beggining?

[bobbie678]

good song, but the vid is realy wierd.

[illegalusername]

Really awesome you mean?

[trevman1985]

Go marching band! Represent!

[BillCosbyfan]

the syncing seemed kinda off for me.

[nicknpo]

does anyone else think the robot is smoking a doobie at like 3:35?

[zoby123]

How could you confuse a miniature TRUMPET with a joint? Seriously.

[nicknpo]

it was a fucking joke dipshit

[zoby123]

Oooh...touched a nerve, did I? :D

[Egregius]

I saw Jason Forrest dj live. He didn't play this song, but a set of insane breakcore. He could most accurately be described as: 'insane monkey on speed'. He had great energy though, and could really pump up the audience, even if we couldn't keep up with him.

[TheCheckt]

Well now I know what inspired the tf2 map Yaargh.

[zomgdesu]

This song's actually in the map. Shoot the red boat's amps.

[BillCosbyfan]

thats what i was thinking.

[parchiethegreat]

Me likey.

[sapht]

This is so awesome it brings me to tears.

[manwithoutabody]

This video is impossibly cool.

[bobmartin153]

THOR! GOD OF ROCK!

[Nktalloth]

MECHA-ODIN!

[corrodesthefilm]

Badass video.

[TheHellPuppi]

Amazing!

[behi667]

I see a rather big Samurai Jack influence. Won't you agree?

[TheRougeEyelash]

Naw, I see a big Jim Flora influence though ;)

[BattleBott]

I think the guy that made it also did some Samurai Jack animation.

[jordinyc]

The style IS very much like Samurai Jack. However Samurai Jack was made by Genndy Tartakovsky with Scott Wills, Paul Rudish, Robert Alvarez, Andy Suriano, Lynne Naylor, and many others. Jason Forrest wasn't on staff for SJ, but yes, his style is VERY much the same.

[carniola66]

realy amazink work, bravo!!

wich software you used for this animation?

thanks

tom

[Tinripp]

Great music, really like the fact that the guy doesnt hold back or anything, and the illustrations look like the ones from the books i used to read as a kid, love it

[jesusofthemonkeys]

yeah to many animators are totally holding back now. I dont understand it.

[bearguyisdanny]

duuuuuuuuude this is awesomest!!!!!

[tmatt1091]

Great video but you got to give credit to Joel Trussel for doing it, he is an awesome cartoonist.

[jordinyc]

It's sorta Tartakovsky-esque. Did Genndy have a hand in this?

[booper21]

OK this is fucken amazing!

[Shagron1349]

what the fuck! man muss dicht sein um das toll zu finden!

[KingStar1984]

Awesomest!!!

[Sekinto]

Fucking awesome.

[Chapokljak]

Very Samurai Jack indeed. Which doesn't make it any worse.

[superturbosonic]

Very cool. Great job animating.

[falerin]

cant find the song ANYWHERE

i'd kill for this! its not even on iTunes!!

[thesagebean]

I'm willing to bet it's because Jason Forrest's songs are largely sample-ized, probably w/o permission. Try an indie file sharing program, like Soulseek

[SweetLord]

Yeah it is. On Philip Jeck's album 'Shamelessly Exciting' - Track 7.

[SweetLord]

Oops. Disregard the last comment, but it is on iTunes (and eMusic) and it's Jason Forrest's album 'Shamelessly Exciting.'

[Fleants]

reminded me of samurai jack

[nbomber02]

that sucked balls

[MightyTiny]

Great song, great video!

[Hattusa]

What Funman12369 said.

[Funman12369]

Fucking shit.

[sidewaysgravity]

i love the video, but the song is a mess

[Rorschach567]

Good stuff

[overheadthealbatross]

love the song, love the video, love marching band, love guitar battles!

[ProfessorP]

This is how I like to believe that pirates actually ruled the seven seas: with heavy guitar riffs and bass heavy beats! They rocked the world flat!

[marytrueblood]

When is this going to be the opening act for Oasis? That would freakin' rock

[beefpelican]

But what if my love surprises me by leaving me?!

[DaedalEVE]

that was cool

[ProudAnselmo]

This sounds like the Blood Sweat and Tears song, "Spinning Wheel". Can't this dude write his own music?

[RonaldMacK]

It's called sampling. Many electronique artists work chiefly from samples, warping and rearranging them to create new sounds. Spinning Wheels had some great musical moments which he chose to highlight in this piece; whether he paid for the sampling I can't say.

[Ignoranus]

You're thinking of "Go Down Gamblin'", not "Spinning Wheel."
