    @DicesukeInuzuka Thanks! I studied physics and I’m totally curious as to how the SM has shifted our perception … sort of like the tail wagging the dog.

    I like how this song is about the scientific method, doing science fair right now! :P

    @KomicTurtle He can do better than MTV…. :D

    I’ve made a few animations on FlipNote myself :)
    You did a AMAZING job! I love your music, by the way!

    Submit this to MTV. Great music video (and song). Very creative and quirky. I love how each scene is CONNECTED to other scenes.

    I can draw and have made a few animations but it can’t compare to the fluidity of this. At all. Jealous D:

    @MarysSounds Thank you! Flipnote is a great animation tool …. I love it!

  8. armanbohn says:

    @stueythehampster I actually made a couple hundred Flipnotes and layered them. There is a link in the description to a blog post I wrote on how I made the video. Thanks for watching!

  9. MarysSounds says:

    Great, our dear odd Flipnote Studio is such a wonderful animation soft :)
    The song is amazing! Tons of work I see… I know how hard you’ve got to work to end with that level of animation. 7th speed? Anyway congratulations, it is brilliant!

    Nice vid! Great music and animation.

  11. stueythehampster says:

    that is pretty awesome, it is such great quality! did you make like 4 pictures for each 1 picture of the video and them mash them together?

    @realaeonzero it was made in flipnote… what are you talking about

  13. realaeonzero says:

    @armanbohn Got it now, I admit my mistake. I was a bit suspicious because of all the ‘geek chic’ thing going on at the moment and quite a few people trying to make it another bandwagon on which to happily jump. Though the song is not exactly my cup of tea, I do some video editing myself so after checking the blog, I have to say it sounds like a lot of work, so congrats on a job well done!

  14. armanbohn says:

    @alananimated I haven’t posted anything on Hetana. I might upload all of my individual animations … but that would take a long time!
    :)

    @realaeonzero

    The description for the video has always stated that I used Flipnote Studio, After Effects, and a Canon T2i. I did add the link to the detailed blog post the next day.

    No conspiracy here … just me, spending hours drawing on my Nintendo!

  16. realaeonzero says:

    @DicesukeInuzuka The blog link in the description has only been added a day after I wrote my comment. I admit my quick judgement though.

  17. alananimated says:

    Great flipnote studio animation. Do you have a flipnote hatena account? II’d like to add you.

  18. abarefootboy says:

    Yes .. concur on @realaeonzero to pursue wisdom and read the artists blog entry.

  19. jundo24 says:

    AMAZING! IM LOKILOOK SO ADD ME!

  20. BKluckhohn says:

    @realaeonzero you need to read the blog entry

  21. BKluckhohn says:

    amazing

  22. armanbohn says:

    Yes — I used Flipnote Studio, After Effects and a Canon T2i to make this video. You can read about how I did it on my blog. I put a link to the post in the video description.

  23. DicesukeInuzuka says:

    @realaeonzero read the description

  24. realaeonzero says:

    Resolution is too high, no way this was done in Flipnote. Good effort, but you lose points for trying too hard and lying to geeks about technical stuff, which is obviously gonna backfire.

  25. DicesukeInuzuka says:

    Thats awesome, I love what people do with flipnote, and the song is great to! :D
