'All work was done in Maya...' Good god. It looks like actual clay. Well I'm glad you got a job in the industry because it'd be a waste of talent as purely a hobby. Excellent job.
Maya is a free program anyone can use (with beneficial perks if you pay) It is likely he doesn't currently have a job doing this though, he definitely deserves one. I hope GG at least send him an invite to do an animation for there channel to help promote his work. This guy definitely works harder then most of the GG animation fanbase.
Maya most definitely is not free. There is a trial you can download, but that is limited to one month. After that, It's $185/mo, $1.2k/year, $2.7k/2 years or $4k/3 years. You may be thinking of Maya LT which was a much cheaper but still not free cut down version available on steam, but that was discontinued. www.autodesk.com/products/maya/subscribe
You can sign up for a free stundent license. It's really simple and lasts for a maximum of 3 years i think. Then you can just sign up again. As far as i can tell there's no difference between the stundent version and the paid version, other than that you might get in trouble if you start making money using the free license.
Watching the episode over I realized another thing I like about this. Ben didn't just animate a story the grumps said, or a thing that happened in the game. He wrote a story by really cleverly editing the audio that was there to make something totally new. It's like what the editors of a movie like Batman V. Superman have to do but, well, good.
This is nothing short of incredible. Not to mention the comic timing ! I know that had to take *FOREVER* to get just right. Timing is everything they say.
I was gonna say, there's no way this was real life clay models because that would take far more work than I would expect from a fan made Grumps animation. Still, it looks like actual clay and it's really fun. I love the smooth movements and facial animations, it's just a delight to watch.
When I first saw this I was like "This is going to be terrifying" but after watching, I realized this is one of my favorite Game Grumps animated and I've watched it at least 100 times.
The quality on this animation is so good. Such fluidity and playfulness that suits the scene so well. You deserve way more attention than what you're getting right now. good job!
sadly it was all made with maya which is 3D graphics software, it doesn't really make it any less impressive considering you and I were both fooled into thinking it was legit claymation lol
HOLY MOLLY!! this is fantastic!!
instant sub from me!!
LilIceTea What do you animate?
LOVE U PETEY! :3
Holy moly*
Molly is a woman's name.
Zane Turner ikr
A sub from Petey is one of the greatest honors someone can receive.

That math doesn't seem right.
How is this not popular yet?
i agree
It had 50 views a day or two ago
EVERYONE TWEET THIS TO THE GRUMPS! USE #CLAYGRUMPS
I'm putting this in my new compilation, the last two comps are getting crazy views. People will see!
Blair Johnson yes!
this claymation is
great it should be on game grump--
It's snowing on Mt. Fuji.
its not real claymation. Its computer animated, and made to look like clay. If you look closely at it you can tell. Still a good animation though.
Catherine Jones It's a reference to Game Grumps, you silly person
I just realized it, I'm sorry XD
i love how every motion captures like theyre floating on a gentle breeze, everythings not too fast or slow and it really pleases my eye
This looks freaking fantastic!
It's based off an old cartoon called Gumby, I loved it as a kid!!!

Damnnn sonnn. Gumby brought me baaaaaack
I'm so glad someone else recognized the music!
1:16 “D-Dah dila-da-da dadadada
*_-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”_*
Gets me every time XD
Yup XD
"Next time on world runner: chasms"
Whoa, this is cray
No, this is clay!
No, this is Patrick.
that is mahogany!
nurmumtoo craymation
Lexi probably needs a nap no this is Sparta!!!
This is nothing short of incredible. Not to mention the comic timing ! I know that had to take *FOREVER* to get just right. Timing is everything they say.
This is incredible.
That echo you added to his scream made it millions of times better. This looks pretty good too, but I mean that scream is just 10/10
“A Grumpy Adventure” oh my god, that Gumby nostalgia. I love this video!
This Dude got a shoutout from the Grumps themselves WELL DONE

Wow. That was actually amazing! I hope it gets featured on their channel at some point. You deserve the recognition.
When I first saw this I was like "This is going to be terrifying" but after watching, I realized this is one of my favorite Game Grumps animated and I've watched it at least 100 times.
I like how in the intro it’s basically like an old cartoon
Arin: pausing the game takes away all the tension
Yeah...thats exactly the point of the pause button...lol
Awesome and hella cute style!
I was scared at first that this was actual claymation and that you had produced the highest quality stop motion animation ever recorded.
0:21 "Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!"
Stupid sexy Dan!
There aren't enough people on the planet to give this animation the recognition it deserves.
How does this only have 1k views? this is one of the best animations I've seen on youtube.
If this was a full on cartoon I’d watch it because I love this
The quality on this animation is so good. Such fluidity and playfulness that suits the scene so well. You deserve way more attention than what you're getting right now. good job!
Dan's scream makes me laugh for a straight minute every time I hear it
Arin mentioned this on their new Sonic Mania video... you got that Grump Approval
The yell from Dan still gets me
Claymation is almost a lost art due to how much time and effort it takes to make it work. Excellent work.
This is one of the most smooth claymations I've ever seen
this was excellent. stop motion animation is a dying art and I gotta say thank you for keeping it alive.
sadly it was all made with maya which is 3D graphics software, it doesn't really make it any less impressive considering you and I were both fooled into thinking it was legit claymation lol
Das Fleischwolf wow. I actually felt myself die a little inside. This was still excellent, *but I take back the rest of my compliment!*
Talented animators made this.
Benjamin Liska no, you are several animators rolled into one. You just don't know it yet.
It's snowing in Mt. Fuji.
This is so cool! I enjoy this style of animation. I definitely see a bright future for ya.
This is incredibly well done. If you had shown this to me when I was a kid, my mind would have been blown.
Holy shit, this is amazing! The Grumps should totally upload this on their channel too!
This is STILL not as popular as it deserves and that is very upsetting!
I'm so glad that they brought this up on Sonic Mania! I'm so sad I missed it before
Wow, the style and animation are so pretty! ♥ Great job!
EVERYONE TWEET THIS TO THE GRUMPS! USE #CLAYGRUMPS
oh my gosh the opening looks just like old cartoons I grew up with, I love it so much
Wow the first claymation that i've ever seen that isn't nightmare-inducing.
Am I the only one who felt that this gives me the vibe of watching old clay-animated christmas specials?
Them singing the music makes me happy no matter whats going on
It's like a much better version of those old Christmas claymations.
And here we see what it would have looked like if George Pal was a fan of the Grumps.
this is one of the best animations ever created
I would watch a whole mini series of these 2 guys running around a 3D World Runner world and just being themselves.
It's nice to see Gumby getting a reference.
Every time I come back to watch this I always get my mind blown over the quality.. Holy shit, dude..
This has to be the BEST game grumps animated EVER. Pay this guy ALL THE THINGS
This has to be one of the most well made GGA ever. Hope it gets featured.
dude I love the Gumby style intro, that was just genuis
It's amazing. It really just needs exposure to more people.
This is actually just my favorite video ever. Please make more
This deserves WAY more views!
This is the most impressive game grumps animated I think I've ever seen
This must have taken forever to animate, definitely one that deserves to be featured on the Game Grumps channel.
I love the claymation style of this animation and the classic cinematic music at the beginning really ties everything together. Great work!
That beginning title card hit me right in the nostalgias
I've always had a love for claymation but adding the grumps made it even better. Amazing job!
This took me back to watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer as a child
I love how much fun they look like their having
That intro brought me back to my childhood that was old cartoons like Gumby
This is a gorgeous delight from start to finish
This was very well done. I couldn't even tell it wasn't actual clay at first
Holy cow this is one of the most uniquely animated GG I ever seen.
Holy shit! Very well done! Deserves to be on the GG channel for sure
This is the best GGA I have EVER seen, if we're talking quality and creativity!
ALL THE PROPS TO YOU!!!
The audio is so ridiculously well edited
This is impressive, really outstanding.
Wow, that was fantastic. So smoothly animated, and Dan and Arin were adorable! I don't envy how long it probably took, though :|
I think Danny just acknowledged this on the first episode of Sonic Mania. Congrats, Liska! You're a platinum-tier lovely now!
This gave me a big smile of joy from start to finish. Unbelievable work!
This is bloody amazing both visually and aurally. Goojob
This is criminally underviewed. Seriously, good job.
For me the incredibly slow movements made this even more hilarious
Amazing job dude
NEED this to be seen by game grumps so we can see more
Ok but you have no idea how much i love the Gumby intro you did to this!
Damn this is the best claymation I've ever seen! The movements are so smooth and seamless.
this intro was incredible. the rest was amazing too
this is some of the smoothest goddamn claymation I've ever seen
This gives me so much nostalgia, plus, this is beautifully made!
Mad Props to you.
This is amazing!
Never did would I have thought that someone would actually make a game grumps claymation!
This needs more views for how good the quality is
THIS FINALLY GOT THE GRUMP BUMP! They mentioned it in Sonic Mania!!!
This is fantastic. 3D Claymation never looked so good
This was really awesome! I like the sassy movements of dan too
Nice Gumby Reference!
I saw that Gumby reference. I wasn't born in the 50s but you can't sneak it past me...
Omg... this deserves WAAAAY more attention!!!
The way you made the green blob enemies look makes them look like Puyos, Very cute :3
This is pretty amazing. Kudos...love the claymation and the homages to Gumby.
Your animation is god-tier. I applaud you, good sir
1:18 I loved the echo effect on the scream. Insanely suitable.
This Is The Best Claymation I've Ever Seen! And The Music That You added Made It Better
Very well done. Extremely underrated video right here. More Grump fans need to see this.
Spectacular work. The movement flow and compositions were great~
I love classic Gumby and I love this...well done!
