A kinetic typography music video for Jonathan Coulton’s Shop Vac. This was created using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere and Toon Boom Animate. I worked on this sporadically, so it’s difficult to estimate how much time went into it. Somewhere between 500-1000 hours, but it was a labor of love. Go buy the song on JoCo’s website: www.jonathancoulton.com Enjoy!

Is it just me, that seems to feel disappointed/ guilty because this doesn’t have more views?
I feel that this video needs a great deal of recognition, which it hasn’t received yet.

42 people can either hear their Shop-Vac from upstairs, or don’t have a Shop-Vac.

This is really, really great. If this took 500-1000 work-hours…I wonder how many times you listened to the song.

@thefourjahs So why does the american one have better fighting skills? Who invented Aikido, Kendo, Bujinkan, Ninjitsu or Kenjutsu? The Americans were never better meele fighters than the Japanese.

WOW PEOPLE
The robots aren’t supposed to symbolize the countries population.
They are supposed to symbolize the countries performance in the wars. See that the Japanese robot is built with technology and refurbished. The American robot looks a little less refurbished but, as you can clearly see, has better fighting skills.

The aesthetics of these robots are definitely reversed. The smaller, smoother, lighter model says Japanese sci-fi, mecha, and real-life robotics. The elephant sized Master Chief Halo evolution says American.

@Outypoo look up Englands social slavery in northern africa that goes up to the 50s-60s and still affects us today… and fuck sugar, good day sir. and i aint your ‘mate’, chap. wanking piece of dutch troddery… bug off…

June 21, 2011 at 8:59 pm
@ckyfan8291 Hahahaa i laugh at your ignorance that you believe that we all have bad teeth and drink tea, and for a bit of history mate crooked teeth was a sign that you could afford sugar unlike cunts like you.
And Britain was one of the first to STOP slavery but i cant say about japan, so fuck off back to your little fairy land and bring some more historically accurate disses to the table dickhead.

@Outypoo a brit taking a Japs side about issues like WW2… hmmmmm… crooked teeth tea drinking bastards… Both your countries are filled with shit people with worse attitudes than Americans, and thats hard to compete with… sny comments. fuck ‘Brittainia’. Japan and England, hmmm i wonder which two countries are responsible for the majority of slave industry and imperialism??? haha but i digress.
