Hey friends! Just want to say that whether or not the music is your thing, these guys were cool enough to risk letting me animate interspecies sex to promote a club song. I don’t have any other income besides freelance jobs like this one, and after a very long hiatus from work while focusing on my upcoming short film, I was nearly broke. I had to take several months off my film because of a string of bad clients that would fall through, cut my pay or not pay me at all. But this music video, which as well as giving me heaps of creative freedom, has helped my funds enough that I can finally return to working full time on my latest film for all of you, and you all get to see it so much sooner than otherwise. So if you’re a fan of me, please be respectful to my employers in the comments! Love you all xoxo

Why is everyone so butthurt about Felix doing what most artists do: getting paid to work in industry? It's unrealistic and selfish to expect him to work for hours for free to provide us with seconds of video that he can't even monetize.

+Mantis47 that's what happens. It personally made me cringe to see Felix make something for this track, and it seems horribly out of place so I can see how that can lead to a knee jerk reaction to call him a sellout and shit. He probably predicted the backlash too.

Lego Insomniac You know the shittiest part? In the actual vevo Felix wasn't credited for doing literally 85% of the work. His name was on screen for like, half a second and then in the description they have credits but give none to Felix. Felix said to respect the "artists" he worked with on this but I just can't really be fair with them on this because of how they did Felix like that. I mean yeah, he got paid for his work but literally nobody will know who animated it because the credit isn't even seen to the naked eye unless you pause it or slow the video down. They just did him dirty and it gives me a sour taste in my mouth

If you're mad about who Felix did work for, you obviously have no respect or understanding of animation or being an artist in general.

"you obviously have no respect or understanding of animation or being an artist in general." not exactly. The term 'starving artist' isn't a phrase for a reason. Even great artists and animators need to do jobs they don't like to pay the bills and necessities. I respect Felix a ton for his work even though I don't like the company he worked for BUT I understand why he did it.

You know if months ago any of you came and told me that Felix Colgrave was going ot make an animated video for a Nicki Minaj song, I would've answered "Wait, who are you? What are you doing in my house!? I'll call the police!" No, but seriously tho, really great job, visuals really match the rhythm of the song, and it's got the weird touch we all love from your animations. Pro job.

I would love to see some Caravan Palace ala Felix, or Perturbator. I'd love to see the skullfuckery that Perturbator + Felix would produce.

I love how weird Felix's animations are, and this one is weird in a whole different way. I love how the emotion of the scenes molds so smoothly from the normal air of danger to the unnatural air of love. Worth the wait!

I have to say I'm loving the diversity of art style with this music video. As a freelance artist myself, I can't keep doing the same thing over and over. I start to feel like I'm "stale" or "predictable". I want people to see me grow and expand my talent. Felix, I love your trippy artwork you do and that's why I fell in love in the first place, but I am so proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone. And to get to work with quite reputable people. That's going to be amazing resume material. So in short, from one artist to another, super proud and can't wait to see what you produce next. 💕

Congrats on getting to animate a music video for some big artists, and I hope you get to animate for other big singers soon. I don't really care for their music, but your excellent animation was enough to make me watch the video. I just wish they had given you some credit in the description.

Felix you are my hero, I laughed so hard (whilst sitting on the can) at the moth/bat, and whale/squid scenes. You are a friggin genius.

Felix, my favorite artist, animator.. Seeing you make an animation for these big celebs makes me so happy. I hope you become even more famous and successful, your art deserves so much appreciation!

This is one of the few times a music video made the song better. Keep up the good work!

Felix, great video. It's got an awesome smoothness to it. Really disappointed they didn't credit you in it at all, but hey, you got paid! I would like to see you get a little more recognition. Can't wait to see your new stuff, and I'm really glad you're still at it. Peace!

I liked the song, and I think your animation fitted it really well. Obviously ALOT of effort put into it, and I hope it boosts you a bit and catches the attention of other artists/ freelance work. Keep up the work mate, your definitely one of my favourite content creators , and I'm subbed to about 400 different channels on youtube!!

Not a good sign for a musician when the visuals are so much more impressive than the song people watch the video on mute. But really good on Felix for getting some professional work.

The animation is Amazing!! Even thought I'm not a big fan of the music, I love how used the music and brought it into the animation. Also I'm really looking forward to see your next film!

I personally think your art style is more suited to more experimental genres of music (like Fever the Ghost's alternative indie psychedelic stuff), but I do really like the color choice in this one. Fits the atmosphere of the song. Nice work!

I'm really happy for you man. Congrats on getting the chance to work on a project like this!

Saw the video and man the animation was so good, you are amazing man keep it up, loving ur concepts

Watching the full video made me realize how badly I would break my replay button if Crystal Castles asked you to make a music video... Everything you do is magical. Thanks for inspiring me to look at the world in a new way once again!!

SLAYYYY this song+animation are perfect! That mouse is adorable.

just saw this on adult swim, love it. can't wait for the whole video to share with friends

You made me listen to over 3min of pop music to watch critters have foreplay with each other.. worth.

Not a huge fan on the music, but I'm a huge fan of you so it's AWESOME to see you've made it this far :) Congratulations on making it to hollywood :p

It's great to see you working on what you love. Must have been fun working on this one. Especially nice to hear you can work on your personal project now, though, so well done Felix.

My heart was so happy when I saw you had a new video! Good job! Do what you can to put food on the table Felix! You are an amazing artist !

I love the song and I definitely love the video for it! You did a fantastic job, man! ^ v ^

As usual amazing work!!! 10/10

Man! That's so great! Congratulations!!!

I love your work, every single thing. it confusses me alot but you're really one of my inspirations~ and I seen the full video clip of this, and I laughed at how you made things so sexual hahaha

Digging both the animation and the song - glad you got this job, it turned out well and it sounds like you're getting paid pretty nicely too!

OMG this is that music vid was the first video I’ve seen from you and I never knew it until now!

I hope you enjoyed making this. I pretty mouch know how painfully it is for an animator to make animation for something that he knows is terrible.

watched it. like expected from a art genius like you it's awesome!

You did well it's imposible to live for free... Good luck with your movie... greatings from Mexico

you really deserve more recognition

While I don't care for the music it's always nice seeing new stuff.

YESSSSS I LOVE YOUR WORK

Love that song and the video Great job!

I remember gering this for the first time when I was on vacation in 2016 when I was in 6th grade. Good old times

Amazing work :D Hopefully this song won't be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

i feel good for the kids who will finally see some nice quality animated video, hope u get more attention and make more trippy videos, i love them @.@

that's awesome, man. Gratz!

I like the snake design/lizard designs the best, very colorful and nice to look at. Animation was very fluid in a way that fit the music too, I felt.

Great work on the video Felix. Fantastic stuff yet again.

Well i watched the music video without reading the discription....i was happily drinking my coffee as well and when the thing with the bat and the moth came up i spat my coffee on myself XD. But it was pretty amazing. Keep up the great work felix :3

Like it a lot ! good work, keep the faith and continue like this man !

The one with the little kid and old man where he nails him to the fridge is still my favorite of your works.

AWesome dude. So diverse in the sort of music vids you make...just keepmaking it.

happy to see you goin big places :)

yo!!!! i just checked it out!!!! that was amazing. good job felix

Felix you're a genius I strongly believe in you!

It's crazy Felix because you're a sensation. You're name is so well known in the animation fan base (all the way back from newgrounds). You should not have to go through the kind of stress you are going through, really. How long before you're famous already!? PS. Fever the Ghost, The Elephant's Garden and Tainted Goods are my favorite. F*ckin' love Tainted Goods.

wow its fantastic felix

Your music video is awesome!

Perfect!!

SUCH CREATIVE MUCH AMAZE MANY WOW

Genius!

I watched it. It was good.

I liked it. I see people complain it's not as crazy as your previous work but to me it's not supposed to be as crazy because of the feel of the song and you did your best trying to interpret that mood through your animation.

you geting fancy!

Holy shit, congratulations! This is a huge step up from Australian indie bands, haha! Not in term of the song quality of course but the exposure.

Awesome video dude
