Came for the skills, Stayed for the story. Way to go Mike, truly inspirational!

Mike Shake gives off the "willing to learn" a whole new meaning.

Mike Shake actually shows two skills in every video Skill 1: How to make a good video for KZfaq Skill 2: KZfaq video title Very impressive 😲👏

This man will never be unhappy because he always keep his mind Excited to learn new skills this man is unstoppable

This is such a good video. Well edited. Well thought out. And the best part is that it's not just animating a story, it also shows a practical side to peoples day to day lives. Very well done Mike! 👏

Mike is literally the human version of my late night motivation

You literally creating content from a "fail". Teaching me how to treat imperfections + loneliness. I didn't expect to found such insights when I clicked this video. Thank you!

Just came across u channel bud and... I love you my man. It felt like somebody just told me my story with a better ending. I'm 17 rn have some problems back home. Working hard to give my mum and my sis a better life and things that they truely deserve. I have learnt a lot of skill to help myself get a job or some other better opportunity but right now nothing seems to work. Had severe depression before the pandemic started (attempted atleast thrice). Picked myself up and started working again with medication and my bestfriend and my mum on my side. But the pandemic has really taken a toll on me. I have been working really hard with futility, not having any of the desired results, doubting myself and feeling miserable. Having big goals and being motivated initially but loosing track as the failures and challenges start getting on to me. This just made me remember my whole story buddy. Thanks for the hope and being so candid and upfront to show ur failures as well. I hope you get whatever you wish in life. May god bless your mom with the happiest life ever and loveliest memories to you and your girlfriend. With lots of gratitude and love Asmit singh India

Amazing video man! the story, voice overs and the animation of course ;)

Damn, this guy can make me feel like just watched a full documentary in 8 minutes and 37 seconds. Good job Mike and remember to take a break

Came here to watch this guy doing an animation, stayed for the lore of his life slowly falling and suddenly getting even higher then it was before this video

I love how much effort you've put into this video, the story, symbolism, symmetry, subtle easter eggs and a wonderful way of portraying such a simple concept, I applaud all your hard effort - It payed off!

Pov 2050 Mike : learning how to survive space with no experience

Mike: Learns how to draw a perfect circle Also Mike: I hate circles, they're so hard

Im An Animator. And Yes, Animation Is Way Harder Than Lots Of People Think. It Took Me One Month To Make A 12 Mn Ep Alone. Good Job Man! You Did Great And I Hope The People Can Realize The Struggle Too🙂

I see myself on all the experience you've encountered working on animation, it feels fulfilling to see these experiences in a way as an affirmation that these happens and also interpreted as a story.

"I hate circles, it's so freaking hard," says the guy who draws perfect circles.

Did anyone else catch the meaning? If not, than here: The entire movie, the names were bleeped. During the middle, Mike plays the game that was identical to that of the one on the screen. In the outro, it is said: "Come on Mike, let's go!" Mike, correct me if I am wrong: This is a personal story about your childhood.

If you want to watch it, watch these timestamps in order: 1:47 2:43 5:22 6:25 7:34 Hope this helped!

Having tried to made a short animation myself, I give props to this guy for making it in only 100 hours. What a beast

your storytelling is so good!

A few things: First of all, this was actually really neat. Your dedication to what you were doing was definitely a bit too much, but it proves you're willing to strive for greatness. And the artwork itself was also great, you have some skill for sure! Second, it's hard to dedicate a ton of time to art unless you really want to do it. It seemed here like while you did feel you enjoyed it, in reality it was just hard work. Still, the end result was great. Just be sure to enjoy what you put time into, or else you'll feel... empty. Much love from a fellow Artist.

that is beautiful, thank you for your work and time and heart you put into it! ❤

Loved the story going through the video everytime you tried to animate, it was a really good motivational story Mike with your animating skills.

For those who didn't understand, this masterpiece was a true story based on Mikes life , if we pay attention, whenever other characters says the main character name it beeps , but at the end it said" hello Mike" insted of beeping , plus the kid shown there loved to play football games on devices , so did Mike

I don’t get how he doesn’t have 10m+ subscribers with this kind of quality

The beauty of it was witnessing the clash between one's personal and professional life. I am dedicating myself tirelessly to meet my work obligations. Your statement about how no one truly understands resonated with me. You mentioned finding solace in playing football, while I, for the same reason, found myself engrossed in KZfaq and stumbled upon this incredible video. The channel and its content are truly remarkable. Please continue producing such exceptional work.

2:33 seeing Pikachu with typical Anime MC eyes made my day 😂 and this video was a MASTERPIECE BRO LITERALLY

Hey, Mike! I know you probably won't see this but I just recently found your channel and just wanted to say I'm a big fan of this one. It's been my dream to get accepted into Medical School and had a very similar experience when I finally got in. I've pretty much pushed everyone (family, friends, and girlfriend) aside even though they were super worried about me. Your videos show a lot of hard work and dedication, but I always enjoyed seeing you leave in the parts that shows how difficult things would get for you. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thanks for continuously making candid content that I can look forward to.

Mike: _Learns to draw a perfect circle._ Again Mike: _Hates drawing circles._

Crazy plot twist and good that u showed the struggles of being an animator and well jst human in general

I love how you expressed your emotions through animations and you influence lots of people to try new things

I just love his content. They real just light up my day. Just everything is on point. Keeps me intrigued, and he has a soothing voice. All in all great content.

What a feeling in the video 🚀👏👏

I love this video! It gives so much inspiration to people! And the final product is awesome!.

You literally just motivate me, while watching this video. Thank you so much

goosebumps at the end man, your production quality make it so much more inspirational

Holy that was an experience, I thought it would be a normal vid but god forbid it was beautiful. It was really inspirational, take care Mike

Mike Ur Awesome Hands Off To You man Ur skills Are incredible

I don’t know how to describe that.. but you’re an inspiration😄, thanks for making these videos and I hope you all the best. Keep going!

Bro your film making skills are phenomenal, all of your vids are seriously inspiring and the pacing is always incredible!

This was like a literal short film. Good job Mike!

6:22 the panting on the wall 😱

I have goosebumps and I'm teary. That was beautiful.

Came for a fun little video and didn't expect for a whole inspirational short film!

Okay Mike, you’re definitely giving me the motivation to push myself. I love to draw but it’s like I fight myself to just do it. Gotta bleed that time if I’m passionate about it.

Oh no my friend, unfortunately some of us are alone, abandoned, left out, forgotten. Not anyone's choice, not what we ever wished for. It hurts right down to your very core, something that you did not even know ever existed. Scary to think about it that is for sure. By the way clever video, looks like you have some great equipment and it looks like you have fun creating which is awesome. I have found that having a hobby or 2 can really be a great thing - something that can bring you peace and some happiness as you move through this experience.

OMG Mike Shake, I remember you have about 500k when I first saw your video, it was probably one of the best videos I had seen. Now you have grown so much, keep up the good work, you surely will get more and more subscribers 😀

*He's not just making videos, he's becoming Netflix*

Hey Mike! I'm a bit late to this video, and I don't know if you'll see this, but I figured I'd say something anyway. It's really inspiring how in recent videos, you've included a bit more of your own reality, your REAL life. Nowadays, influencers make it seem as if their lives are perfect and that they have no struggles. You're the exact opposite of that, and I really appreciate your honesty with us beyond what words can explain. It helps both of us feel just a little bit more human, ya know? The truth is that there are good days AND bad days, and not one step of this journey through life is made easy. I've been watching your videos for just over a year now, and it's really cool to see how you've grown and matured in such a short amount of time. Don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back, alright? You're surrounded by so much love that, sometimes, it can be really easy to overlook it. On behalf of everyone, thank you, the one and only Mike Shake, for being you. :)

"I Learned Storyboarding with No Experience" Here I fixed the title.

This is a whole new level of content. I absolutely loved it

Can you try to learn programming for example 7 days or something

animation is a really hard thing to learn from my experience, good job Mike! Impressive as usual!

Amazingly well done. 🎉

I first discovered you through the phil solo collab. You have come so far! Never quit learning!

This is why I love your content, all of your videos have some kind of message, and you teach us how difficult with a lot of obstacles being a content creator actually is. Thanks Mike!

This is so far the best of your videos, I've ever watched. As a person, who is constantly busy, I absolutely saw myself in this video and the thoughts that are passing through my head on daily basis. I'm watching the video probably for the 10th time, because everything is just so perfect. I absolutely loved the format of the urgency with the contest for the animation, the dedication to the project, the small hints on the animation, which have the grand explanation at the end, and the happy ending.😊 Truly amazing and perfect in every aspect. Amazing work Mike. Keep expressing your creativity with these videos. This format of video creating is awesome on itself, but I love to see your own personal touch added to it. It differentiates it from other content creators, and makes you original. ❤

This was such a wholesome video I loved it so much. But also the drawings were epic.

Why did this make smile and cry. Is it the wine or is it the video. Subscribed

The increase in quality I've seen over the last year-ish is insane! This one practically blew me away

You've inspired me to learn many new things!

I love the way you sprinkled the final animation in the video

I started off “animating” when I was 12 using Microsoft paint and mindows movie maker. My friend at the time showed me how. Over 10 years later, I learned so much about animation. As long as you stick with it, you’ll keep seeing your skills growing. I have some animations on my channel if anyone wants to check them out.

I've been watching your videos for some time now. This one really stands out. Thanks for talking openly about your process, your psychological and social life during a video. By the way, the animation was great!

i'm making my own animation project, im finishing the script by now and soon i'll start with animation phase. watching you really makes me feel better and gives me a huge "if i can then u can do it" message. thank u for this kind of videos, i'm sure there are lots of dudes like me that feel this way. love ur content and i'd love to see the final result of ur animation 😁✌

Man seriosly i was stuck with that animating stuff. But after seeing this video i got an idea and solution for that problem and it is easy and looking cool LOVE U MAN LOVE U SOO MUCH BRO!!!!!!...,u got me out of my worries LOVE U SOO MUCH

To say the least, that was unexpected. Great job on this video, all the productions of yours are always of the highest quality, but this one was above and beyond.

I don’t know what to say, this video is a masterpiece, it’s not only animation but it has a side-story! Bravo Mike continua così!
