Hi
A sausage stuff, again… 
You can also ear my sweet voice in the videoclip 
Buli N’ Sausage, the most famous band on Sausage Island is proud to present you their first video clip for their “Highway to Sausage” song!
Collector’s vinyl edition available for 0.50Bullar only!!

Awesome!
Those dancing sausages kind of looks like the victims of a sadistic kidnapper who puts people in bags. 
Maybe a little more variation in the song titles, while keeping it sausage related?
Highway to Haggis
Justice for Alheira / Andouille
Fear of the Black Pudding
Piece of Mettwurst (Assuming Skidrow’s Piece of Me)
Ride the Luganega
Sweet Chorizo O’ Mine
Master of Pepperoni
November Rookworst
Theses sausages are headbanger sausages doing some pogo! 
And I can assure you that no sausages were harmed or abused in the making of this clip 
Grum999
WTF did I just watch?!! 
I’m so glad you’re back! 
okay I was not quite mentally prepared to see this.
but it looks like a legit video clip.
A legit video clip?
Grum999
Fantastic! We were definitely overdue for more of your work.
There’s so much sausages variety
Good idea to match the type of sausage to the title of the song
But too late
Assuming Skidrow’s Piece of Me
Reference is Piece of Mind from Iron Maiden
Grum999
Oh! - bonne fête de la musique! 
Does the highway to sausage run through the middle of a brioche sub-roll? 
All I can say to this whole topic is: 
I thought that it would be something else since the song before also was by Iron Maiden. There were three options: Skidrow / Piece of Me, Iron Maiden / Peace of Mind, and Stone Temple Pilots / Piece of Pie.
Anyway… glad you liked it! 
Oh, and is it your voice I’m hearing in the video?
I tried to choose some very well known band & song to let anybody being able to find the reference 
Yes, me trying to growl
Not easy, that’s the first time I tried to sing and even more, to growl
But hopefully that’s not my everyday voice
Grum999
Ahah thanks
For me it was a 3 music days at the Hellfest
A brioche sub-roll?
Not sure to understand the question

Here some underlying about how the video has been made
Drawn on a transparency mask
Only 12 frames that made a loop
Background is drawn on an another Krita document
And same for text that is in the video, sometime in background, sometime in foreground
Here how the final compositing looks like in Natron for this sequence
Sausages drawn without head (easier to animate) and then head drawn on an another layer when all bodies have been drawn.
Drawn 23 frames with ~30 sausages to made a loop (~870 sausages drawn 
)
Once lineart is made, draw light and shadows
Drawing the 30sausages on 42 frames took me around 18hours… 
Apply a non destructive filter mask (Halftone)
Add black background and some light beam animated with transform mask
And here are the headbanger sausages
First import the video in Krita (found on Pexel)
And apply some filter mask to get the expected results
This is exported as a first sequence of PNG files
Similar things is made from Natron to apply a G’Mic filter to get turntable as lineart as I’m not sure it’s possible to apply G’Mic filter on all frames of a layer
Once 2 sequences are generated, import them in an another Krita document
From here, a clean-up of each frame is made manually (because filter sometimes generates ugly artifacts)
Same method is applied for the road trip sequences (also found on Pexel)
Final video compositing in Natron of all sequences:
Music has been composed with LMMS
Final video clip (video+music) is made with KDEnlive
Grum999
Wow, I wanted to try out natron but it got sidetracked among other things.
Natron is not really difficult to use, but need some time to understand the UI
What is really interesting for me:
)For simple things, using nodes can be sometimes more complicated than using a tracks based video editor (like KDEnlive)
For complex things, using nodes are easier to use than using a tracks based video editor
My use is:

Nodes 
looks like it was fun to make.
Fantastic
