- This was my entry for the Pogo contest. I came in 2nd place.
I figured everybody would try to either emulate Pogo's videos or do some sort of music video related to the Wizard of Oz. Considering I had only a week to really put this together I couldn't really do anything ridiculous but I tried to do something fun and something I didn't think anybody else would attempt; animate Pogo as if he were performing the song.
Pogo usually remixes animated movies so I animated a movie for one of his remixes.
I'm a huge fan of pogo and had a blast making this animation. I hope this video adds a little something fun to the song. I dunno.
: )
I remember seeing this right when it came out after the Pogo contest was announced. I definitely thought this one should've won because it so accurately portrayed how I dance and listen to Pogo. Great video, still one of my faves four years later.
I remember watching this as a kid and that was when I knew I wanted to animate for sure :) Thanks Nate.
This is exactly what expressing one's self is: interpretation, creativity, vision and frankly I find it refreshing that this piece isn't what people expected. That is what makes it so charming and original. I love the piece ...keep doing what you are doing!
This is by far one of the most creative things ive ever seen. It certainly captures Pogo's zaniness.
the stickman himself is so entertaining, and the changes with the background colour help keep it just that bit more interesting throughout the video.
this is definitely in my top two, tied with that other animation video...it's gonna be hard to pick between you two!
Each of the other works are beautiful and very skilled in a great number of ways, but the reason I love this one best is it's the one that I most want to come back and watch again and again. It doesn't matter that the style is simple, the motion and fun being had is so eye-catching and engaging that it doesn't matter. It looks like you had fun making this, it looks like he's having fun singing it, and I know that I had fun watching it. Good luck!
I absolutely adore this! While pogo's music has never failed to lift my spirits and bring forth overwhelming emotions, this video really brings out so much more with it's simple yet dead on accurate style. You've earned my vote. Best of luck!
You cannot derive entertainment and quality from how much work went into the project.
This is the perfect example. It's very simple, much more so than all the other contestants, yet it's a crowd favorite, and definitely my favorite too.
activeobjectx, I sincerely hope you win, this is a true work of ingenuity
Man I've liked all of the entries, but I have to say this is how I feel while watching a Pogo video so it's going down as my fav.
My favorite part is the little fist-dance on the flute trills. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
You just broke our hearts. *sniffles quietly while rocking himself back and forth in my spinny chair*
This video still brings a smile to my face, your characters are SO expressive and just gush personality which belies their simplicity. Sorry you only got second place, but still, super grats on 2nd AND pogo saying he'd use your video in live shows... Now I need to find the dime to actually make it to one!
From the description Pogo gave, I didn't think I was going to like this one, but it's really entertaining!
this was a brilliantly made video i loved the animated faces and "Nick's" eccentric behavior on stage!
this was a too much fun to watch XD
This gives me the biggest, silliest grin to watch, it is just so much fun. BARK BARK.
I'm torn between this one and the one most similar to the usual Pogo. They're all so awesome!
Awww, it didn't win :(
Still a damn close second is a hell of an honor considering the competition was positively vicious! It doesn't make this excellent work any less awesome!
I'd also like to say I've been following you for a while and your animation skills have definitely improved and I have ALWAYS loved your style and humor.
Keep up the great work and I'll keep enjoying, you have excellent talent!
I wasn't able to watch through most of the videos, but this one kept me laughing the whole time! Awesome work!
No matter what I think of Pogo as a person (not a great one), his music still makes me groove just like this!
what pogo do? I haven't kept up with him in yeeeaaarrsss lol, last I listened to his stuff was around 2016.
Brilliant, charming facial expressions, and not about the Wizard of Oz! You are amazing creative. I caught the eye stuff! Damn fine job!
Showing that simplicity is sometimes the best option. Very nice man!
Me and my little brother, who is nine, have memorized this. I hope you win. You've got my vote, for sure.
Usually, I dont care for HD, but the quality of the song, and the quality of the drawing.....
Ifurget is best for animation quality, but this is definitely the cutest. I think this is my favorite.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was Pogo's inspiration to his "Wizard of Meh" video.
Unlike the others, this made me laugh and nod my head along. With the other ones I would just stare. This one made me smile. I like it a lot!
I had a smile on my face the ENTIRE time I watched this!
If I ever see Pogo live and he isn't doing this dance during his performances I will be disappoint.
His expressions make me so happy :)
Hahahahahahaha! This is absolutely hilarious, man, I was laughing so hard when the vocals started. Well done! :)
This is so fun to watch. All the animation smears make it so much more.. animated. :D
This video deserves the win. It's just too close of a portrayal of how many Pogo fans feel about his music. You sort of get lost in your own world as you're listening, moving to the beat even attempting to sing along with his lyrical alphabet soup. It makes me smile and laugh. You've got my vote, man. Well done!
I love how happy he looks :D
I can only imagine what you'd do with other Pogo songs! :D
Ps, you have my vote.
I voted for you, I feel like this contest was for the listeners, and you best show what the listeners are like who enjoy the music. I hope you win!
this guy should do animations for all of Pogo's videos
you have my vote sire
i feel like this is the perfect simple yet bodacious look a Pogo song needs
instead of a video with pogo music, its pogo music as a video. if that makes sense?
great job
I must have watched this a million times and everytime it is more fantastic than the time before. ^.^
Admittedly this wasn't my choice and I would prefer if something that represented the Wizard of Oz was the top pick [to go with the rest of Pogo videos where the video is straight from the song's origin]. But I CAN see why this one is winning, is very creative and very well done, if I had to choose a video to show friends the song I'll go with goldpikpikcarrots' but nicely done mate you are very talented.
I think i lold hardest at the "and really" face that starts around 1:28
but the entire thing was pretty awesome. c:
I also liked this one, with it's simplistic approach and comedic tone. While it is entertaining, the technical decisions of the video does limit it's ability. The imagery is, for the most part, static and leaves negative space. This was intended I'm sure, but those decisions alone left the video feeling like we could be seeing more than what was established.
Almost three years later and I'm still listening to this on a weekly base. Really wish this had won.
this is above all the best entry, I really hope you win because you deserve it ten times over (:
this is exactly what i look like when i listen to pogo x3
totally blew me away!!! This should win!
Ahhh i love the little flute dance at 3:31!!!! :D :D
@Cresitan258 This is somthing unexpected many people wouldn't have come up with the idea of making an animation a pogo djing one of his songs in a concert, plus the facial expression and how it is all in sync with one another, thats why this stands out more than all the other entries.
Great syncing = amazing animation once again Nate!
I couldn't help but laughing. This is the best one by far. I hope you win :D
This is super catchy to watch
Congrats on making it to the top 5, i love your video watch it almost every day, hope you win!
I love this even after so long, it just sucks to have to take the music artist from the music due to Pogo's ludicrous opinions. Hope your well whever life has taken you.
If anything, hearing his music on other channels lessens the guilt.
Love this simple but awesome animation.
haha brilliant! i love how the facial expressions totally match the tone of voice =)
this was by far the best, im sorry dude u had my vote
So this is how such a beat is made.
WOW! so simple, yet so effective! you got it!
I often do this listening to pogo's music xD
My favourite by far !
great job
Duuuude that one is AWESOME!
the little dance at 1:58 made the video for me!
Haha awesome. This is exactly what i'm like when i listen to Pogo =D
