Animusic
Animusic, also known as Analmusic, is a series of CGI animated music videos created by Wayne Lytle✡ and David Crognale back in the early 2000's. These music videos consisted of anthropomorphic music instruments jamming to a potentially stolen song that is then put into a compilation that is sold for money. These visual albums where popular with school children and hipsters alike, and brought Wayne and his company a shit ton of money. In the recent years however, the company stole a fuckton of money from people and gone completely silent. Where did all of the money go? And most importantly, where the fuck is Animusic 3???
From Humble Beginnings
Wayne and his team of shitheads started producing dazzling 3d graphics back in 1995 with their creation of More bells and whistles and Beyond the Walls. Both these videos share a lot in common, such as the fact that they reek utter ass and that Quake actually looked a lot better than this shit. Over time, this team got used to the bare basics of the Pixar-like pipeline animation and began to produce the original Animusic shortly after. These animations were made using the cheapest technology possible as if they thought that releasing it sooner would mean more people would like it.
Animusic 1
Released in 2001, this was known as the first time that Wayne went public with this Nintendo 64 shit and decided to release his monstrosity on VHS (with a DVD release 3 years later because Lytle needed the sheckles). A lot of work using Original ideas and lube was put into making these low quality videos that barely manage to stay at the proposed speed of 24fps, and burned out a fuck ton of Graphics Cards in the making. The final result was a 7 song visual album that managed to make 1995's Toy Story look like a fucking cinematic masterpiece.
Track listing and descriptions:
- Future Retro: IMMA FIRIN MY LAZAH in a garage full of overpriced technology.
- Stick Figures: Skinny niggers that can play with themselves to make music.
- Aqua Harp: A harp that has fucking Steampipes and is being played by some magical guitar picks that can fly by themselves
- Drum Machine: A fucking drum machine
- Pipe Dream: Wayne set up some ball machine in his garage and taped it shooting some balls at strings in order to save money on the animation cost. This is the most well known song on the album because of this.
- Acoustic Curves: A drum set with some strings and hammers sitting above it. Boring as fuck.
- Harmonic Voltage: A Star Destroyer With some lights and lasers shooting in the background while a cloud of purple gas sits above it.
There were some other audio-only tracks that Wayne was too lazy to animate so those were left out.
Animusic 2
After getting a fuck ton of attention by sponsors, especially PBS, Wayne and his team decided that he would need to higher his production value very slightly, and decided to add some cool FX such as better motion blur and a somewhat more constant framerate that wishes it was 60. Lots of new slaves were hired to work on this project as well. The final result had 8 songs this time, to make up for the one song they didn't actually animate.
Track listing and descriptions:
- Starship Groove: Gayniggers from outer space.
- Pogo Sticks: Stick Figures 2, but this time there's no background instraments and they all go on an adventure
- Resonant Chamber: A retarded guitar being played by parasites.
- Cathedral Pictures: A poorly animated song being played by a bunch of instruments scattered across the room by some niggers (except for the pipe organ).
- Pipe Dream 2: Wayne rebuilt the ball machine to save money again, but this time it has moar features.
- Fiber Bundles: A power generator that's being powered by 'teh moosic'.
- Gyro Drums: Another skinny nigger playing drums, but this time he's stuck in a fucking ball several thousands of feet above the ground.
- Heavy Light: Light beams that bounce into a force field and a drum set while on top of an Aztec pyramid.
After this shit came out parties were had and money was spent to such an extreme, and Wayne realized that his magical faucet of sheckles was running low. He needed to make another animusic, but where was he going to get the money?
The Animusic 3 Kickstarter Disaster
Wayne realized that his Animusic HQ was coming to a crumble thanks to him and his crew spending precious tax money on other things, so he went into the lowest, deepest corners of the internet in order to beg for money just so that he could get people to spend more money. The kickstarter campaign started in late 2012, with over 3,000 people donating a whopping $220,000 for it (that's around $70 a person). The campaign appeared to be successful and actually had pre-order audio-only CD's and T-Shirts shipped to some people (others simply didn't get anything even though they donated all of that money for it). However, sudden delays started to become constant and pushed the release date of the visual album to 2014 and people had hope. They believed that maybe Wayne was still working on it, and then an announcement occurred on August of 2015 that the project was still being worked on with no release date ever told. He explained that the reasoning for this was that he was experiencing physical issues such as RSI and needed to use an Xbox 360 remote in order to stop his arms from being full of pain due to his all-night sessions of dragging and dropping midi notes. The fans did not react well however, as this update indirectly stated that he didn't have insurance (or had very little) and all of that funding just went into his medical bills all along. He also admitted to having to let go of all of the employees except for himself, and he later closed down Animusic HQ. So if you funded this shit, don't expect him to ever finish this anytime soon, you dumb fuck.
Daniel E. Gray
Some batshit motherfucker had the balls to spend $300 on this fucking project, and now complains about not getting what he revived to other people in the comments. Due to Lytle's absence, no one is able to mute him or disable his raging in the comments so people go out of their way to insult him for trying to force lawsuits on a man who already has a major of debt in order to get back his $300 that he so desperately needs due to his crack addiction. He also claims that Wayne is a criminal because of "speeding tickets" and "misdemeanors" that he does not have any evidence to back up whatsoever. Sounds like he needs the help of some kittens, and you could help by linking it to him and everyone else in the comments because no one actually moderates it.
