Bowie [SFM]

Eyy, been a minute hasn't it? Last video I made that was this long was apparently 2 years ago. Man animation takes a long time doesn't it?

I made this animation as a sort of tribute to Shwiggan, as 11 years ago he was among the first people to make sfm animations when the program released, and he made a series of sfm music videos of Flight of the Conchords with these 2 characters. He was a great inspiration for me to start animating as he showed me what sfm was capable of and what people could do with it. So hey if you're reading this, cheers man.

I also really enjoy Flight of the Conchords and David Bowie anyway so it made the most sense to pick this song. Sucks I can't monetize it, but whatever.

HUGE thanks to all the people that have supported me over the years. Without them I wouldn't be able to make this video. I know I haven't put out nearly enough uploads with Patreon credits at the end, but I've had less and less time to dedicate to longer videos recently. I'm going to at least include them in the description of all my animated videos going forward, long or short, as it doesn't feel fair making you all wait this long for recognition of the support you've given me otherwise.

If you want to show a little support here on my channel, I've got the youtube membership system set up for 1$, for anyone that feels like showing their support and getting a cool little badge next to their name in the comments and some weird emotes.

Song: BOWIE - Flight of the Conchords

Oh man this is so cool. Somehow this hit me with some big ass nostalgia. I love this so much! ❤

[nightram]

The best tf2 duet ever sung by a pair with a combined 11 phds and a revoked medical license between the both of them

[benb.]

"Astro-turf" I am dead, thoroughly slain

[pastapastajfollower]

The Black Star reference in the video is a really nice and sad touch. You really gave off Shwiggan’s animation vibe in this video. Flights on the Concor rules. Amazing job as always Gareth!

[MindOfGenius]

2:31 It's the Blackstar. Perfect Bowie reference.

[corwinchapman]

Medic looking directly into the camera at the "astroturf" line is absolutely perfect

[Nortic]

I thought of 'Flight of the Concords' immediately when I saw the title and then you delivered what I dreamed of!

[edesu]

You love to see it! Shwiggan is still my fav SFM animator after all this time.
I'd love to see the Medic/Engie FOTC trend pick back up!

[justanotheryearold]

Good to see the Hiphoppopotamus and Rhymenoceros still got it all those years later.

[MicronOnline]

I've never seen Shwiggan's work before, but this video... really does capture that Classic SFM animation animation and vibe *perfectly*
It really does feel like an SFM that deserves to be seen by millions

[eljibbity]

my two favorite tf2 characters singing some ridiculous song together fills me with so much joy

[norpotti]

Awh man, I can definitely see and feel the Shwiggan inspiration. Those old animations are still great, and also were the way I first found out about Flight of the Conchords.

[Kaiju_Inc]

It's a bit of a deep cut but this immediately made me think of Shwiggan. Super nostalgic...

[AgentMulder]

2:59 im just so obsessed with this part its so good

[cannonballking]

On of the best Conchord songs perfectly replicated through the magic of SFM. Keep up the great work, and have a nice day.

[thatguyTM]

Genuinely earlier today I was watching some of your videos shocked that I hadn't subscribed yet after enjoying them for so many years. Seems I made the right call.
You make some amazing stuff, thank you for doing what you do.

[nean]

are we entering a new renaissance of sfm content now or something because this stuff just keeps getting better

[zonarde]

so this is that "emesis blue" thing i've been hearing about

[LtSprinkulz]

I called it on the post! (Kinda. Lol) Very good stuff. I miss Shwiggan.

[SirPembertonS.Crevalius]

Space... the grooviest frontier :D

Holy it's good to see your vids again mate!
