This is so smooth and so haunting. It elevates the original song so much which was already a banger. The close up on the eye really gets me. I can’t believe this is about hats.
Wow. WOW. This went to so many places I didn't expect, both animation-wise and content-wise. You made something unique, atmospheric and gripping. Really, really fantastic work!!
@@LockerLovesYellow Don't worry I know the original (everyone should check that out if they haven't!) I just love what Arlo added in terms of imagery ^^
We get this content for free???? I’m not even saying this to be supportive, this is just honestly and truly a masterpiece. Your art style is a haunting delight to watch, amazing work!
honestly the juxtaposition of the clay looking cgi hat vs the animation of brian makes the dysphoria of wearing a hat seem more haunting, like the hat can't belong, not just on brian but in this universe, the hat has an eldritch prospect to it, it shouldn't exist, and yet it does anyways, the eldritch horror of this seemingly common place headwear is encapsulated when it reveals itself at the end, before consuming brian in his own loathing of his fashion and appearance, perhaps his very identity. then the song unravels into the empty field, lifeless and meaningless, like brian's quest to wear a hat. so anyways, good video 👍
I think one of the greatest things about this is that it predicts that Brian will fight mirrors in one of his own videos that was released after this, because he has a fear that it’s not him inside of there, but someone trying to trick him
This is truly fantastic, however in the second half of the song, I DO wish the fellow was shown in a different hat with every new shot, to emphasize how hard he was trying to find that one perfect chapeau.
I've been recommended BDG fan content before, but this one I actually stumbled across while searching for the original for my weekly viewing. I have to say... wow. This definitely has to be one of the, if not the, best BDG fan content I have seen. I hesitate to even call it that, because it seems like it doesn't properly capture the incredible atmosphere and animation of this video.
I think why this is so good, is from both parties, brian giving this anxiety filled rant in the same tone as he did the rest of the song, and the sudden tonal shift and cuts between creepy images in the animation.
This is amazing! The transition of the light timer turning off, and the atmosphere change of the bathroom with the lighting, haunting and beautiful, I love this
Oh man I love this animation. I love how it shifts from light to dark, and the bit with the eye was so well done and satisfyingm it really enhanced my experience of listening to and knowing the song!
I'll never watch any other version of this song again. You truly captured the spirit of the piece in a way that I think even the songwriter was incapable of.
I can only describe this as a religious experience. I feel like I just witnessed otherworldly knowledge. It's like a rite of passage. Haunting, beautiful. Also hats, I guess.
Oh my gosh. Arlo, this slaps so hard? I've only watched your Drawfee videos but this one was recommended to me after I just saw Brian's song for the first time and you captured that feeling PERFECTLY. Really goes to show how important animation is for accomplishing shots that live-action just never truly can, and evoking an emotion so succinctly. I love hats and have no issues wearing them, but the message still hit me just as hard. It's not about the hats: it's about self image. It's about anything you're self conscious about.
came across this while on a drawfee animated vid spiral and am completely just absolutely taken away by this piece in a way i never could have expected. I'm a long time BDG fan/extreme lover of hats/perpetually contemplating the many dissonances inherent to our existence in a corporeal form/enjoyer of weirdly specific songs, so his song/vid in the first place pretty immediately became an all time fave of mine and one that really sits with me in such a strange haunting way. but????? i CANNOT BELIEVE just how much your incredible, beautiful, visualization adds to the entire experience. The way you were able to capture so much of the energy BDG gives off in the video. the uncertainty, the way he somehow conveys the feeling of resigned dread that accompanies the internalization of knowing your form is visible to others and their interpretation of what they see is not within your control (while still clinging on to the possibility that maybe you can /influence/ it at least, if not control it). You somehow conveyed all of that and more in this wonderful piece of art I will be thinking about for a long long time. The movements are so so perfect for the overall tone of the song and the way your style helps raise the haunting isolation lingering in the original piece fully to the forefront here is just masterful? I genuinely feel a little bonkers typing this because like it's, ostensibly, an animated clip of a funny song written by a silly internet man, and here i am reacting to it like some snooty film student or something but i just??? truly cannot understate how much i fully, no exaggeration, think this might be one of the most compelling works of art I've seen in a long ass time, and i am blown away by your ability showcased here to create a work that matches mood and creates a visual storyscape so encapsulating and transformative of its source. your drawfee animations are good fun and lighthearted, capturing the lack of seriousness/general core kindness central to their whole deal, and exactly the kind of light quick content i look for when needing a laugh. this animation though? shoots me right in the gut and makes me want to watch it 40 more times just to really take it all in. I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of painstaking work this took to create in blender. just incredible thank you so much for sharing this. as another comment wrote, i cant believe you just did this for free and we get to experience it
When the reflection showed up again, smiling all creepy, that actually made my stomach drop. I watch a lot of horror stuff and that rarely happens to me. This was haunting, I love it.
I just explained what Polygon is, who BDG is, what his videos are often about, and what your RUclips channel is like to my mom JUST so I could show her this masterpiece
this is an absolutely stunning addition to the song and I think really helps push it. One of my favorites of BDG's works and to say you did it justice is an understatement to say the least, utterly fantastic
Can't believe I never saw this before, but this is some stunning animation, I love the mixed media aspect of the 3d rendered hat on top of the gorgeous handmade 2d animation
Man, I will tell you what. The original of this video is as close to true perfection as I have ever seen on this app and it was an insane move to ever think that that could be followed up by anyone. This is a fantastic rendition and you should be proud.
God you captured the exact feeling that listening to this song always gave me, but in a visual style I could have never imagined.. This is amazing. Hats off to you
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR ANIMATIONS AND I FIRST DISCOVERED YOU THROUGH YOUR DRAWFEE VIDEOS AND I WAS LIKE "MAN ARLO STERLING'S CHANNEL IS SO GREAT I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY VIDEOS HERE THAT ANIMATE LITERALLY ONE OF MY TOP FIVE FAVORITE MOMENTS IN THE WORLD" AND THERE IS AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR AWESOME VIDEOS AND I'M ONLY THREE SECONDS IN BUT THIS IS ALREADY THE BEST VIDEO THAT HAS EVER COME ACROSS MY RECOMMENDED PAGE! THERE IS HOPE IN THE WORLD EDIT: I FINISHED THE VIDEO AND IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HOPED FOR. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING LEGITIMATE, UNBRIDLED JOY INTO MY LIFE
This is such a well animated video, i remember watching this a few months back and i forgot to leave a comment. The animation perfectly suits the theme and message of the video, plus your animation is really just great! Keep it up!!
I literally wanted someone to make a cool animation to this song! And here it is, better than i could ever imagine, you've done such an amazing job!! This is mind blowing ❤
This is so smooth and so haunting. It elevates the original song so much which was already a banger. The close up on the eye really gets me. I can’t believe this is about hats.
Absolutely agree, but to be fair, I think the song is about a bit more than just hats
this captures bdg energy perfectly and then cranks the haunting undertones up to a thousand, amazing work!
legit!
0:24 THE LIGHTING CHANGE RAAHSBDNDJFJFNJWKDJD
Wow. WOW. This went to so many places I didn't expect, both animation-wise and content-wise. You made something unique, atmospheric and gripping. Really, really fantastic work!!
(also do I spy some DHMIS influence at the end there? Love that vibe!)
the song is someone elses, Brian David Gilbert

damn
this is like 1% of what a 14 yr old white girl feels after reading Kafka's metamorphosis for the first time
This is immaculate! Fantastic blend of 2d and 3D as well as comedy and horror
i cannot say anything. this is art. you could say that it is a gesamtkunstwerk
Words cannot do justice to describe just how goddamn spectacular that was! Blown away with the perfectly captured unnerving energy
Man, I didn’t think anyone could make a BDG song fill me with more existential dread, but here you’ve done it. Brilliant work.
his is frighteningly good, absolutely criminal how few views this has
This is truly fantastic, however in the second half of the song, I DO wish the fellow was shown in a different hat with every new shot, to emphasize how hard he was trying to find that one perfect chapeau.

This BDG song is like the best representation of gender dysphoria ever.
this is technically jazz
YOOOO the atmosphere and lighting towards the end was so sick!!
This is amazing! The transition of the light timer turning off, and the atmosphere change of the bathroom with the lighting, haunting and beautiful, I love this
I'm cryin at the club rn.
This is a masterpiece. I can't wait to see more of your legacy!
This’s criminally underrated
I love this little lad 😭
Jesus christ the lighting work in this alone is fucking insane
I freaking love your art and art style so much, the transitions and textures in this are so wonderful! Thank you for making this!
Oh man I love this animation. I love how it shifts from light to dark, and the bit with the eye was so well done and satisfyingm it really enhanced my experience of listening to and knowing the song!
I hope BDG sees this
Well that's one animation that unexpectedly went way harder than it had any right to do.
Just like the song. So neat!
I'll never watch any other version of this song again.
You truly captured the spirit of the piece in a way that I think even the songwriter was incapable of.
I can only describe this as a religious experience. I feel like I just witnessed otherworldly knowledge. It's like a rite of passage. Haunting, beautiful. Also hats, I guess.
Why does this only have like 300 hundred views, this is more quality then 99 percent of content on this platform
I'm blown away, this is a creative tour de force. The mirror shot at about 0:51 legit gave me the chills, I wasn't expecting it.
woah! great work! bdg would love it!
I don't know how I missed this masterpiece, watched your drawfee stuff for ages but this is an absolutely beautiful piece!
This is great! The setting and the outfit remind me a bit of the game Inside.
holy SHIT this is rad as hell
0:35 OH MY GOSH HE FOUGHT HIS REFLECTION AND WON
HOW DID YOU KNOOOW
9/10. Beautiful existential dread; not enough hats.
Guy gets sent to the other side by floating magic hat after refusing to wear it.

Hoooooollllllyyyy shiiiiitt.
This deserves so much more attention than it is getting.
Bro.... No way. Absolutely stellar tf
holy sht this is beautiful
haunting while simultaneously showing off how much skill went into this
What a wonderful, elevating but still faithful adaptation. Bravo!
Hey! Good Job! This is dope!
Bro the unexpected horror elements and then just the giant floating hat hit me so hard
I did not expect this to be THIS haunting, excellent work
This song is originally by brian david gilbert
This captures the discomfort with self-image so well! Outstanding work.
I love your use of weight with the lower framerate, it's so fluid!
This is so amazing and under appreciated, holy shit

Deeply haunting in a way that builds on the original, good job
This is so fucking impressive, I am in awe. I thought the original video was haunting but this is something else entirely........
Just coming back to this one after merobiba is out, merobiba earned this love and attention, but this one is still my favourite animation
no idea whybthe algorithm sent tbis to me 2 years later, but this is AMAZING

Genuinely can’t stop replaying this
this is an absolutely stunning addition to the song and I think really helps push it. One of my favorites of BDG's works and to say you did it justice is an understatement to say the least, utterly fantastic
I feel like this is the kind of content Brian would really appreciate
realizing you're the same person who made the goofy monster animation was incredible. you've done some insanely good work i am so impressed!
Perfect representation of anxiety
Absolutely brilliant
This is amazing, great job capturing that special something . Cant really word it but yeah.
Whelp. There goes my existential dread flaring up again.
Can't believe I never saw this before, but this is some stunning animation, I love the mixed media aspect of the 3d rendered hat on top of the gorgeous handmade 2d animation
This video is absolutely phenomenal! Great work!
Absolutely adore the way you captured the gradual shift in tone.
this is incredible and also I need to sit by myself and watch puppy videos for the next 12 hours to recover
This is fantastic and I'm sad that not enough people have seen it
I swear this is so perfect, first drawfee, then dndads, now bdg 😎 your channel is amazing
Absolutely amazing high quality art right here. This is the perfect video for this song. Great work
this is perfect, you captured exactly how this song makes me feel
This is BEAUTIFUL holy SHIT I can’t believe I’ve been following your drawfee animations and I’ve never seen this!!!
Criminally underviewed. I know you from your Drawfee stuff, but this is next level. You always impress!
Also, I appreciate the blender background :)
This was breathtaking to watch. Splendid
The hats giveth and the hat takes away.
Man, I will tell you what. The original of this video is as close to true perfection as I have ever seen on this app and it was an insane move to ever think that that could be followed up by anyone. This is a fantastic rendition and you should be proud.
Your skills are wonderful, but also you have TALENT

Oh, okay, good. I didn’t feel like sleeping tonight anyway
This is very good. Came for Drawfee animateds - glad to have stayed for this.
Yes. There we go. This is the feeling.
Amazing animation !
Yessss I rarely found lesser known channels with real talent. Amazing work!!
I am upset by the fact i did not find this sooner
This is such a well animated video, i remember watching this a few months back and i forgot to leave a comment. The animation perfectly suits the theme and message of the video, plus your animation is really just great!
Keep it up!!
amazing
Oh my GOD I can't believe I never saw this before. This is amazing!!!!
You have hypnotized me with this beautiful piece of art
We exist in the same corner of the Internet and i think that's neat
fuck the shadow realm, I'm sending you to the hat dimension
Oh my god, Arlo, go off!
Nothing clever just boosting the algorithm
Holy shit this is INCREDIBLE
I literally wanted someone to make a cool animation to this song! And here it is, better than i could ever imagine, you've done such an amazing job!! This is mind blowing ❤
why did I think this was some weird ad for a funky little hat? lol
I think I've watched this about a dozen times now...
