Skeleton Crew | Animator Vibes (Lyric Video)

💀 THE CREW WE MISS | Animator Vibes Storyboard artist, layout, rigger, compositor, sound, edit. Every skill used to be a different person. Now every video is made by one person in headphones, whether we're home or in the office. A love letter to the team round the table, and an invite to turn your camera on. Let's pull the team back out of the screen. Track 4 of Line Boil, the debut EP from Animator Vibes: a punk band made of the tools animators actually use. Pencil on vocals, Tablet on guitar, Riggy on bass and Prompt-Bot on drums. 💿 Hear the full Line Boil EP: search Animator Vibes on Suno 🎵 Created using AI music generation for fun and entertainment. #AnimatorVibes #LineBoil #PunkRock #Animation #Animator #AnimatorLife LYRICS Roll call, roll call Nobody here at all Used to be the storyboard kid with a corkboard full of pins Layout guy across the hall drawing where the scene begins Riggers in the corner building bones for every arm Compositor at midnight keeping all the colours warm We'd argue over coffee, we'd high five on the wrap Sound guy brought the thunder, editor would close the gap Every skill a different person, every person had a name Now a single box can do it and it's never quite the same The machine learned every job and stacked them on my chair It wears every hat at once but there's nobody there Now we're all a skeleton crew Everybody's making a video alone Storyboard it, rig it, render it through Each of us a studio of our own Same office or a spare room, it's all the same scene Headphones on, my team lives in a screen Skeleton crew Morning stand-up, little faces in a grid Mute, unmute, tell them what I did Guy at the desk beside me is on a different show Same room, same coffee, but we'll never know Home or in the office, it doesn't really matter Everybody's on their own, we just hear the keyboards chatter Pass me nothing, ask me nothing, nothing left to share Used to hand my shots along, now there's nobody there For a second on the call somebody cracks a joke Then we all go back to muted and the laughter's up in smoke Now we're all a skeleton crew Everybody's making a video alone Storyboard it, rig it, render it through Each of us a studio of our own Same office or a spare room, it's all the same scene Headphones on, my team lives in a screen Skeleton crew The machine can wear every hat but it can't pass the pencil back Can't laugh at my bad drawings or pick me up when I crack Doesn't matter where we're sitting, home or office, old or new I miss the people round the table, I miss the crew Still a skeleton crew Everybody's making a video alone But turn your camera on, I'll pass a shot to you Let's build something bigger than our own Same office or a spare room, it's all the same scene Let's pull the team back out of the screen Skeleton crew Roll call, roll call Somebody answer the roll call
