I love the video.

David, the artwork and animation are terrific. I sense a career ahead of you, sir.

Great job by all involved...

The message conveyed in the music and video is really resonating with me at this point in my life...

Thanks for sharing...

Man that was definitely a darker view on the song then I was initally thinking :S

Great animation and it did work with the song very nicely. :D

Well, the title IS "DEATH By Luxury."

Well, correct that, very well worth the wait. Loved the concept in your lyrics but then put to animation, it really packs a punch. Nice work you two.

..I can't help but appreciate the two heroes at the end of the animation. It's a great time-tested message, who will pick up on it?

I hope someone picks up on it. I knew from the get-go I wanted the main character to die, but there had to be some positive aspect to it. Glad you like it.

Ya I admit I was happy those 2 did throw down arms and enjoy the happy life :D Too bad the first guy had to set an example with his death though. :(

Very well made, I congratulate you sers! I love the animation and the music, especially your voice NT; you have a very melodic voice.

Do you have the lyrics written down somewhere that we can read them?

I was so happy that he got away, but then forgot about the title and felt bad when he died. Poor guy. But the two who threw down their daggers and ran for the hills so to speak had a different meaning for me. Since we know what they look like without their paper masks it kind of gives me a freaky feeling; I hope they don't bite anyone down there with their ruby jaws. :)

Great job you guys and all involved. Yes thanks for sharing.

Death By Luxury
Caviar and sushi bars and golden spoons
The rich keep getting richer and the poor must learn to cope
All your friends surrounding you with their diamond knives
Circling sharks with rows of sharpened ruby daggers

Don’t let it get in the way of the party
The best of the best
Don’t settle for anything less

The company you seek and keep will define you
Motivations can’t escape some questioning
Champagne chandeliers, sparkling grins from ear to ear
All the world’s an oyster and you are the pearl inside

I think that this "collabo" was a great success. Good luck to both of you guys, because you both have a lot of catching up to do if you want to be as famous as me....ha ha (just kidding)

No, no, it's true.

Great video, guys!

Almost has an Radiohead-like quality to it... amazing!

Just watched it again, it was creepy knowing what was under those mask's all the time.

Out of curiousity were you trying to say anything beyond what was remarked on in this thread?

Wow, thanks so much everyone for your compliments!

It's great to see that the piece is actually affecting people on a somewhat emotional level. You get sort of desensitized when in the middle of creating it.

Of course there's more, but other people's interpretations are much more interesting? ;]

Radiohead? I'm a big fan.

That's the basic idea. Greed = not good. ;]

I was shocked to see David Houry in the credits. I just assumed that NT did it all since the animation shares similar stylings to I Blame The Apple. Way to go guys! Amazing quality.

Let me know how distraught you are when the money starts rolling in! I say that sarcastically of course...the point was not lost on me.

No, no, David spent MUCH more time on this project than I did - including the time it took to write and record the song. Props to him. He had a lot of creative freedom, and I was just there to direct him along the way.

Aw heck, it only took an entire semester and all summer. No big deal!

...but so as not to come across as a complete smartass:
Thanks NT.
