David Bowie - Cobbler Bob
Ойын-сауық
The Director's Cut
This has been on Adam Buxton's channel for a while. I made it for his Bowie Bug show in 2013.
There are a couple of different versions. The one on Adam's channel is the original with lovingly recreated Good Life opening titles. It also has lovingly rushed face animation and lovingly messed up compositing.
He wanted a version without titles for his show so I made a new edit and took the opportunity to fix the crap bits at the same time. I think that's the one he ended up showing at Bug.
Now I've made a new version that combines the nostalgic charm of the original titles with the cool professionalism of the fixed edit. A bit like how George Lucas does.
It also has an amazing Aladdin Sane easter egg in the background that I spent ages on and I doubt anyone will ever spot.
The excellent drawings are by Dan Berry (@thingsbydan)

This is Ground Control to Cobbler Bob... You've really made big shoes... And the papers want to know about the shoes you wear... Now it's time to make the massive platforms if you dare...
"What's the fluid?" "Could you make it Pepsi?" I don't know why that was so funny to me.
Thnak you so very much for this light funny relief to my sadness. Its very well done. I love the timing colours the voices the script. Who doesn't like the good life. Thank you once again. This video is a go to when I am feeling very sad.
I've always loved your props and background settings :-)

Congrats! Someone actually spotting it makes me feel like it was worth the extra few hours I spent in after effects lining the stupid thing up in every shot.
This is hilarious
nice vid
Your mouth animation is so fascinating, i thought i fifured it out, it worked pretty good in my videos, but your's are still a bit better, how do you manage to do this this perfect?
When I perform David Bowie .... people say I'm crepe .... like a sweet desert .... they always handle me off stage, sometimes a little too roughly .... I think they like me.
i really think cobbler bob had some serious potential.
I met the man who sold the world today. He's a cobbler
when someone makes a tribute show for him they should be cobbler bob
This guy sounds like Bowie!!! This is cool!! "Could you make it Pepsi?" "Wha- NO! It's some kind of gel. Like a bonding agent for dentures!" "Could you make it Orange Juice?" ❤⚡❤⚡❤⚡❤
Shit. Long time no see
Not sure about the fade out
Why is there so many nursery rhymes in the related video section?
Are you actually the real Lee Goldson??? That guy is my hero!
Where did you get the red and brown hair?

Bowie's hair is hand made from modelling clay.
How do you animate the faces and the lips? do you have any advice/resources on how to do lip-syncing?

After Effects and Illustrator is the short answer. I used this tutorial to get going with the syncing - library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/lip_synch.php. AE has a CC-Cylinder effect that wraps footage in a cylinder shape. That's how you get the faces to match the head shapes. The rest is manual keyframing to match them to the footage.

The kitchen clock may have inspired a lyric on what was to become the Aladdin Sane album.

@@0ldScratch did you also know that you have an inadvertent easter egg?! there's a golden delicious in the background. The song 'the prettiest star' is a reference to the greek goddess of confusion, from whence came all of creativity! The legend goes that Zeus was having a wedding party, but didn't invite his youngest daughter, Eris, as she was a bit of a troublemaker. So Eris fashioned a beautiful jewel encrusted GOLDEN DELICIOUS APPLE with the word "KALLISTI" on the side (which translates "to the prettiest star"), snuck into the banquet hall, and rolled it under the table towards her three sisters, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. All three of her vain sisters thought that this beautiful gift must have been for them alone, fought over it, and then asked Paris, the mortal Prince of Troy to decide who was the prettiest star. The ensuing war has been going on ever since. HAIL ERIS! ALL HAIL DISCORDIA!
how do I access the easter egg?

+davrothelegend By watching closely. Not so much an easter egg as a visual reference to a line from a song.
