Short summary of the story. The woman sees doom coming so she prepares. The man thinks she's getting kind of crazy from her old age. The doom stuff happens and he realizes she was right. They end up in the tower and see a photo of themselves with their son Steve (from cubeland) holding his pig. You realize they are in hardcore mode, so once they pass away the old world is deleted and a new world is made. They are young again because they have to start over.
Also special thanks to BootstrapBuckaroo and CaptainSparklez for inspiring me to get into animation. It's been a great learning experience over the last year!
Lyrics: (verse 1) Yesterday it rained Watched everything wash away It took some time to dry Before I could feel okay
I used all my tools Foundation of clay You kept digging this hole But climbing's not my forte
(pre-chorus) Take what you need We can fight our enemies But we have to hurry before the world crumbles around us
(chorus) Take my hand We can build a land from the ground up I don't even mind leaving it behind us Watch and wait and work until it all falls down
(verse 2) Today the sky fell Clouds in disarray I put back all the blue Before the sun could complain
There were stars everywhere Zombies at my gate Now that the end is near Nothing left to do but wait
(pre-chorus 2) Are we prepared? Are we there? Do you even care Now I am afraid, but it's okay The world crumbles around us

Tools: Autodesk Maya 2014 Adobe After Effects CS5.5 Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5Skeleton Encounter - Minecraft Animation - SlamacowSlamacow2015-11-20 | UPDATE 1/2/17: Hey! It's been a while since the last update so here's a shiny new one! :)
First off, here's a work-in-progress preview image of the cartoon Supershigi and I are creating! http://i.imgur.com/3rm64hA.png
This past year was spent creating all the assets needed for the show. But now that we have the bulk of it ready, the animation process has now begun! We also have the pilot episode written out (as well as quite a few other future ones!) So we both are really excited to show you guys! As far as a release date goes, I would say in a few months. But if I learned anything during my animation experience, it's that I'm horrible with giving a release date for projects lol.
Welp, better get back to animating! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! Happy New Years as well! :)
5/16/16 Hey everyone! Here’s my long overdue update, basically a lot of stuff happened last year that really affected me. The big one being a close family member passing away...it’s been tough for everyone in the family and made it difficult for me to create stuff. So for a while I was taking a break from everything and spending time with family. But now I’m starting to get back into the swing of things with projects.
But for now... I have a really exciting announcement to share with you guys! I've decided to create my own original cartoon :) I've chosen the direction, and now I'm in full force with asset creation and script writing! I'm really excited to work on it, and I think you guys are gonna like it :) So for this year, I'm going to be focusing my energy on this project with the goal of releasing something on my channel by the end of the year! I’ll try to write updates here throughout the process. If there’s anyone who’s curious why stuff like this takes a lot of time, here’s a nifty picture explaining the steps in creating something like this :) http://i.imgur.com/2qHsLov.png
On top of this I’m also doing sub-contract animation work with a small company which has been a lot of fun! Then there’s my health; it’s nothing too serious but my health hasn’t always been the best...I’m trying to be better about it this year. I’m trying to limit the number of distractions by taking breaks and limiting my time on the computer (which is why my social media is gone). I want my main focus to be on life stuff and work.
So I think that covers most of it, thanks for reading through :) Sorry for keeping you guys in the dark for so long. I also want to thank every single one of you for your support over these years. Thanks for the kind words and the constructive criticisms :) I’m hoping to still create content for you guys!
In this next minecraft animation, the trio runs into a scavenger looking for collectibles

Tools: Autodesk Maya 2013 Adobe After Effects CS5.5 Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5SlamaShort - Under the WeatherSlamacow2015-10-27 | Hey everyone! I'm sorry that this channel has been pretty inactive lately. This year has been incredibly rough which made it difficult to animate. Family health issues, forest fires near parent's property, just lots of life stuff going on that I'm still recovering from...but things are gettting back to normal again.
I saw how long it was since my last upload and decided to spend a week creating this short. It's very simple in story and style. It's suppose to mimic a video game from dave's gameboy in a way which is why it looks a bit choppy. If you guys like it I could continue these in between the main shorts. If not then I'll go back to working on the main stuff haha
Also another reason uploads haven't been as frequent compared to a few years ago is because I've been taking up more projects outside the channel (plus with school this past year). But I'm doing my best to build up some more stuff for the channel (hopefully some original stuff!)
That's my update haha, I'm also about 80% done with another short like this which you might see in a week or so (depending if you guys want more stuff like this). Anyways, I hope you're all having a good year! Sorry again about things being so slow. I'll keep doing my best to get animations finished for the channel during these busy times. Thanks for sticking around and for all your support over the years! :)

This video was in the works since December. The first few months was storyboard work and finding a good map. The last few months I spent time animating. It was hard getting time to because of school and getting a video up every other week. In the past month I've found more time to work on it and decided to just focus on this video only. This is why there was a big gap in uploads.
~Lyrics~
(verse 1) I'm in a cube land I dig with cold hands I use these tools to try and climb out of this mess I've made
My door is open Skeletons and zombies I am broken, as they walk all over me But if I keep on building walls, maybe they'll stay away
(pre-chorus) Think fast, it's got to last if you're gonna make it through the rest of the day I'm trapped, I can't go back, I've made the choice to stay
(chorus) And we'll fight... keep defending through the night (we'll fight the good fight) Live... we're all driven to survive (we'll fight the good fight) I'll keep going, just stay by my side.
(verse 2) I'm in a cube land My castle's so grand And once I lay these tracks I'll finally make my escape
I am no one I have no place, no one relates And there is no sun As the night covers this space But I beg you, please please don't let this life go to waste
(repeat pre-chorus and chorus)

The party animals are back! Hurray for recycling animations! ...And by recycling I mean using my old animation file I used to create the kia commercial with party rock in it.
I'll add this if anyone is confused. This video was suppose to replace the Party Animals video with the party rock music in it. Since I took it down because of the copyrighted music.
So the video with the party rock anthem in the related videos was my old video that someone else uploaded.
Some people are thinking that I copied him with this video, but I have the proof that the kia commercial party rock video was made by me.
AND probably the biggest evidence is if you go to my facebook page, you can see the post I did showing the video a day before the guy reuploaded the video.

Special Thanks to noobcrew for giving me the idea to make a SkyBlock video!
So I have been learning how to do facial rigs with 3ds max. You might see a few errors in the video, but I'm still learning. I've been studying BootstrapBuckaroo's legendary animations to see what I could learn from them. This animation was great practice nonetheless.
