Ah! I was wondering why the guy on piano stuttered so much (and why there wasn't any off beat notes.) Great job!
This was great, good job!
honestly, the behind the scenes is so impressive, I'd watch a whole video just on that. good video!
so basically it is real 😁
i KINDA wanna hear what the original sounds like.
My mom: what are they doing?
Me: *their best*

imagine how many times they had to do this until all the random notes lined up to sound like africa. incredible
They edited it to make it sound like this
@@mindblowingjreclips no
@@starhollander22 see the video description
or look on twitter
as an editor myself, I can tell you by just the looks of it, and in certain parts, they edited and probably "green screened" some of them so the notes would all match up and or the clipped each part and put it in the same background or they either got each one separately in that spot one by one and made it seem like they were all together in that same room.
I personally haven't seen their editing style, but there are many ways to go about this.
Just alone without an edit is purely impossible. Any music made in AC without an edit is practically impossible. Sadly they don't let you actually "play" the instruments just strum them.
So no, sadly heh, you couldn't put all of them in the same room and actually play a song. Look how even the keyboard player is slowed down and the two guitarists and timberline player is speed up. You have to have a careful eye for these things which makes me believe that they did this one at a time and then fit it perfectly in the shot which is actually possible. Tedious as all hell, but possible. This must've taken them I'd say an hour to do everything, and then about 3 or so more editing. So probably all together it would take a person without stopping, about 5-6 hours of work to put this together. Estimation wise
though what makes me think it's green screened is seeing how their hair around the edges are flurry which only happens in green screens. and to have the background always perfectly up which makes me believe they had to have taken an image of that room, in that angle (because even the shadows are slightly off and or hard to see which isn't common in AC a Shadow will always be clear) and that they just had them in a green room (which you can make in AC, and then have that background image, and then place everyone in an editor in different spots.
That would take longer, actually probably a day or two.
But i say it was worth it.
So if you want my expertise, they probably green screened this.

Nothing in this is pitch-shifted or faked; they had to keep playing random notes until Toto by Africa came on.
ShinyDenz he’s being ironic
Exactly
rip if only. that would be cool though.
It would be cool if you could put notes. Or have a thing where you make it so you have notes pre seted and it just plays
ShinyDenz Got sarcasm?
Props to the marimba player for playing without even picking up the mallets
in 10 years time, when this video is in our recommended again, we’ll look back on it and think, “damn. those were the days. the days where you put more effort into a virtual life than your actual life because the outside world was too sparse and harsh.” this is our legacy

For once I don’t care if it’s fake, that’s just really impressive.
TheEmoEmu honestly it’s even more impressive to me now that I know it’s faked, the linked twitter post described the process of making this and I can’t imagine how long it took
It's not "fake" if you literally can't do it any other way. You can't pick the notes in game an not all notes are even in the game at all. Saying it's "fake" means that there is somehow a "real" way to do it, and there isn't

Animal crossing: the game where you play a guitar by hitting it from behind
Just play it like a cello or double bass, duh.
bowed guitar sounds pretty awesome honestly.
to be fair, you're always behind a guitar when playing it
Ceroluthor Very true, it’s just that you’re not behind it and playing it when it’s on it’s *stand*
Reminds me of August Rush when he plays it while it’s flat on the ground.
imagine how awful this sounded when they were recording the visual part of the vid
I.... yeah it either sounded awful or they did a really good job at splicing the editing of each person's part and had a lot of patience to film it

@@keiichimorisato98 haha like i listen to bassles songs sometimes bc im a bassist and practice to em and theyy sound soo cursed until i play to them

I looked at the Twitter post and it was basically how I thought it was done. This person recorded themselves in various different looks at each of the instruments playing random notes so that they could get a sample of each possible note that each instrument could play and then they can posited each piece of the scene with them on each instrument together and put in the appropriate notes so consider each one of those instrument players to be their own very long video project and then they are all spliced together into the same room.

I feel like Africa Is a song that is universally and generationally always going to be liked by the human species
The funny thing is, back in the day, it was one of those overplayed songs that everyone got thoroughly sick of, and many people thought it was just a novelty song. Even Toto wasn't that fond of it, at first. I'm genuinely a bit surprised that it turned into an evergreen classic.
To be clear, I'm not saying it's bad. I like it. But, just, of *all* the pop songs of the 80s to turn into the flag-bearer for the decade, Africa is a very odd choice. (Personally, if I were to pick a song to represent the 80s, it'd probably be something by Duran Duran.)

I think it's a real shame that people like this guy can't monetize a video that has over a freaking MILLION views because of RUclips's stupid rules
Well yes, but also RUclips and the creator could get sued by Nintendo and the music company if they'd allow that. In other terms, it's not really RUclips to blame here but instead copyright law.
If you knew how the monetization works, they can definitely monetize this. I’m not sure if they did, but they can. You can make an Adsense account as soon you start RUclips you don’t need to be big.
I got advertisements on it, so I’m guessing it is monetized. Just make sure you watch 30 seconds of the ad or if it’s shorter than 30 seconds, the whole ad. That makes it where they make money off of the ad.
