Thank you to everyone who messaged me that someone is using this video as a pre-roll advertisement. I did not give that person permission to use it, and I do not endorse his knock off Android Line Rider App called Line Driver. If you want to get the Line Rider app, you should get the official version from my friend David Lu. David is the lead developer of the Line Rider. He's not paying me, but here is the link to his android app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.emergentstudios.linerider

Imagine someone you love dying and then their body repeatedly zooms past you at 300 miles per hour at random intervals.

I got this as an ad, and it was literally the first KZfaq ad I’ve ever watched to completion

1:36 legit made me sad. I realize they are only stick drawings, but there was such a great chemistry there and then he watched it all slip away as the other figure tumbled away. I was not prepared for this!

I feel so bad for Beethoven he couldn’t hear his own music

This is brilliant not only because of the synching with the music, but also because of the sheer physical comedy of all those flailing bodies coming from nowhere

1:40 was the greatest plot twist ever

Nobody: How my grandparents used to go to school:

Your feel for the physicality of Beethoven's masterpiece, and your ability to translate that to this software, is inspiring and gives me goosebumps. I have listened to this piece my entire life, listening to various orchestras' renditions, and not only have your visuals added an entirely new dimension to my love for the piece, but you also have chosen a superb rendition. Thank you. I am happy that so many people are seeing this.

I was so happy when his friend came back, but then i realized it was another friend and then he dies too.... what a world we live in.

Wife: "what are you doing?" Me: "watching Beethoven's 5th" Wife: "....watching...it?" Me: "yup!"

the emotion that I felt at 1:40 was more intense than I think any blockbuster movie has ever given me. then I got pretty concerned for Blue's fate. THEN YOU JUST DROP GREEN BACK INTO THE PICTURE LIKE "REMEMBER MEEEE"-- Edit: I knew it. Why can't people just have good things ;0;

The fact that you can make out a story really makes you appreciate not just the music, but also DoodleChaos’ visual aspects. Beethoven would surely give a million chefs kisses

Oh man my heart broke when that little dudes friend died and he slid backwards in shock

When red started to slide backwards.... like if you cried. honestly though. incredible.

I just saw this as an ad for “line driver” again. It’s really disgusting that someone would steal the hard work of the developer of Line Rider and use it to gain revenue that they aren’t entitled to.

I FORGOT THESE EXISTED AND NOW MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!

As a violinist I can verify that this is what goes on in our heads as we play music

Beethoven was so talented to be able to compose a music based on 2 riders riding a line.

3:55 the "super-climax" was awesome 👌👌...

This a fantastic way to get children [and adults] to hear classical music while watching something that will hold their interest. In the very old days, the cartoons had classical music in them, which is how I developed a love for classical music. WELL DONE!

KZfaq: demonetizes videos for no reason Also KZfaq: allows ads of literally stolen videos

I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard this, but your doodles are helping the deaf community understand the music better! They can SEE it all happening!

Guy in the red scarf, grasping at the sleigh for his life while dead bodies of his friends are flying all around him: "What the fuck is going on?!?!"

It's not just the timing that's amazing, but the interpretation of the music and how you shaped the lines to match the instruments or even mood. Fantastic!

1:38 top 10 anime deaths

You know, if you had told me, before I watched this, that someone could tell a compelling and tragic story using nothing but a game about sled riding people and Beethoven’s 5th, I would’ve called bullshit.

This is Red's descent into madness after losing a lover, learning to move on, then losing them, and then being haunted by their losses- amazing

I think it’s great that this is the most viewed video of Beethoven’s fifth symphony on KZfaq!

This is the most epic and tragic love story ever told

Imagine how breath taking that ride would be

This video has less views then it should this is a masterpiece

This gave me a new appreciation for Beethoven's 5th, especially the oboe solo.

I've loved your other ones but this is on another level with the amount of off-camera timing and synchronization needed to keep six moving parts bouncing around and coming in and out of frame at the exact right time. It's like a virtual engineering masterpiece. I'm truly wowed.

One of the rare occasions where i watched the whole ad xD

0:00 Starts his journey 0:06 Starts his epic ride 0:17 crazy bumps 0:42 a new person comes into his life 0:51 romance! 1:00- 1:15 epic bumps 1:23 slow but steady 1:40 true love dies

This part made me smile like an idiot 3:04

When he looses his buddy and the music gets all sad and life is literally moving backwards at 1:40

The first set of hearts, when the first two fall in love, are close together, indicating that they fell in love around the same time. Then, for the second set of hearts, Red Scarf's comes slightly later, indicating they were hesitant, likely because of their fear and guilt from losing their first partner. Genius storytelling at work here.

I watched this in class for an example of how music can influence such emotion and drastic upbringings and downfalls in your story for a contest- in obsessed now!!!!!! 😅😁💖

Getting millions of people to listen to classical music... that alone makes you a genius

My interpretation: Red was a calm person, one with a sense of adventure but also a sense of loss and emptiness. During one of their adventures, they meet Green: a soulmate, one who connected with Red in a way so rare in the world. Their love for one another was unmatched, and unwavering. However... Green held deep, darkness within them, one that proved their love was not warm enough to thaw the frozen depths of within them. During a fateful day out with Red, sheer emotion overwhelmed Green, and with no second thought, they threw themself over the edge. Unbeknownst to Green, Red witnessed the entire scene. Brought back by such shock, Red moved back from the edge of heartbreak, despair, and tried to flee as far as they could to escape the tragedy that had just occurred. Years later, Red had been trying to rekindle the spark within, the spark for adventure, the spark for life. They tried to do all the things they had once enjoyed. And luckily, one day while doing so, arrived Blue. Blue was a kind person, one with the kindest intentions. After a while, they grew to love each other, but it was not to last. Their love was not in sync, their emotions not properly connected, as if the life of Green still loomed over Red like a vivid nightmare that never ceased. Red attempted to lash out against the memories by trying to drown them out. They would try to run faster, try harder, and Blue would not leave their side no matter what. The attempts became stronger, more dangerous, more life threatening, and eventually, Blue would fall behind and join Green's fate through a fatal accident. Red, being scarred by this as well as Green's death, didn't know what else to do. They only had one thought. To run. Run as fast as they can, try and escape the ghosts of their past that haunted them, but to no avail. Red was always running from the memories of the past, but they were only travelling into the dark, and cold abyss. Not having any other choice, Red took their life. Perhaps, they thought, they would rejoin with their loved ones. Perhaps they would finally be at peace and no longer be endlessly tormented by the ghosts of the ones they most dearly cared about. They were wrong. Death was insidious. Death was bitter. Death was a cold grasp upon Red, deeming worse than the life they once had. The memories that red once found to be haunting became a vivid reality. Reliving the suffocating emotions once felt when Green and Blue died for all eternity, while Green and Blue shared the pain. Death was dark. Death was eternal pain. This is the tragic love story of Red, the Rider that once loved, and was stripped of all that they held closest to their heart.

2:43 this poor green dude...

I remember when the Hall of the Mountain King was the most viewed video, the views of DoodleChaos have been ruined by this ad.

This video is class, I can't imagine how hard that was putting all that together in sync....congratulations, well done....

Beethoven would be very happy as he could see his music

Not only did you get the timing PERFECT, but you also made the music tell a story. Great job!

I know that part of the symphony very well as I've listened to it countless times, but I've also watched this countless times, and every time I see some new nuance. Truly phenomenal.

youtube: gives people copyright strikes also youtube: dont give copyright strikes on copyrighted ads

Dude this is your best work yet! The offsled Boshes flying by were hilarious!! Loved it!!!!!

Oh my god I had seen this years ago and just found it again, it is the most fascinating, funny and exhilarating ride on this magical piece of music. Thank you for making this!

3:08 blew my fckn mind it's just so good

the fact that you made everyone keep coming back and in sync and had so much stuff to fix and rework and look at and examine and edit and listen to over and over again. this guy is an absolute Legend among line riders and youtube.

I almost cried at the death scene, this lil dude lost everything...

How have I only just stumbled on this absolute masterpiece. Not only that but it's made me listen to Beethoven in a completely different way. And I truly appreciate the time and effort it must have taken to get the timing right and have all the pieces fall into place 👏🏾👏🏾 BRAVO!

Back in the day in was the only ad I watched till the end, and yeah I’m getting back to admire the amazing work syncing music and the movement

This was definitely your best work yet! It was amazing how the riders kept coming back! Encore! Encore!

Line Rider: the amusement park. Which rollercoaster should we visit first? Oh, I don’t know, but Beethoven’s 5th looks super fast paced and fun.

This is BRILLIANT!! It is mesmerizing. I especially like the multiple riders.

This is your BEST!! Watching it, I felt like I was hearing it fully for the first time!!

My friend: this roller coster isn't that scary The roller coster:

1:38 he is sad that he lost his new buddy

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that! I just landed on it in Instagram but came to watch it in KZfaq for the full length version. Just fantastic! Thank you!

This is one of the most brilliant and mesmerizing things I've ever seen.

when the one dude died so the other one went back then spiraled downwards I felt that

What happens when you combine the minds of an artist, an engineer, a gamer, a lover of classical music, and a glutton for punishment into one human being. Bravo my friend, bravo.

I love how everything is matched and synchronized.

This satisfied all the parts of me that have gotten shaken loose over the past few months. I am now content and can deal with life again. Excellent job!

Rest in Peace Green Rider. 10/10

This is how our parents used to get to school.

This is truly a masterpiece!! Thank you so much for your time and dedication

Thank you for so perfectly visualising this piece! It was exactly how I meant it to be, you captured its essence wonderfully - regards, Ludwig.

0:42 : oh look there is green dude 1:38 : OH NO HE FELL OFF 2:09 : hey look blue guy blackflips into action 2:36 : OH SNAP GREEN DUDE IS STILL ALIVE oh wait he died again 2:43 : WAIT HE'S STILL GOING oh wait he died for the third time 2:58 : AND NOW BLUE GUY DIES ;O; 3:22 : ok someone explain to me how the hell did green and blue survive 3:39 : and now they're gone again 4:06 : hey look at that, they're all re-united ! 4:14 : thank god happy ending 4:16 : NOOOOOO GREEN NOT AGAIN

Green guy at 2:36 "I HAVE BEEN FALLING, FOR THIRTY MINUTES!"

I love how in the end one of the six parts just went off the ledge.....just respect!

This love story will never get old... Thank you Doodle!

This is your BEST one EVER!!! OMG I JUST DIED. Hats off to you man.

3:41 Whenever he dodges the obstacles, it makes me satisfied.

I went through an emotional rollercoaster when one of them fell down a cliff

You are a Creative Mastermind!! For a fan of Beethoven, your creation introduces another dimension of sensory fulfilment!! It is Whimsical and playful yet marvelously engaging the viewer soulfully! Brilliant and Stay Blessed.

Doodle, I just saw a youtube ad for Line Riders that is literally just this video. That's pretty cool and all but I hope you're getting compensated for it...

God damm, that's impressive. I love how the blue guy at 3:00 appears out of nowhere to respond with the music XD

This is incredibly amazing sync of fantastic animation with heart and soul. Thank you for making me smile too 💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That was the best rendition of the start of the 5th. Thank you...really enjoyed it.

Holy KZfaq actually recommended something really good for once!

If Moutain King was the roller coaster of death, this must be roller coaster of deaf

This is FABULOUS! Thank you for your creativity and time and effort. Whew!

I’ve seen this in an ad once and instantly loved it, glad I didn’t skip that ad

:why are you crying Me: sobs “the stick man with a green scarf fell off a cliff” Ps my favorite part was when the bodies came flinging 300 miles per hour out of nowhere

Not green guy again!! R.I.P. Also the jumps over the sleds at 3:41 are awesome :D

This is one of the best things I've ever watched on the internet. Brilliant!

1:04 this is duet and this is perfect harmony

Somebody recently asked me why I wanted to do physics and digital studies in the future. Well...... I aspire to be a line rider master like you are :)

*Music calms down* - Rider: Finally... ...I think a guy died back there!? *Music intensifies* - Rider: Not again...

This line rider composition tells a big story. I’ll list them out. First, the man comes out angry and scared because of his childhood. He meets a new friend, and they have fun together. But as they played, an accident happened, and his friend falls off a cliff. Sad and confused, the man doesn’t know where he’s going. In frustration and confusion, another friend tries to comfort him, and they become accustomed. Remembering his past friend, he is scared he will lose his new friend too. But he can’t escape, and he loses his second friend. Spiraling down in a hole of confusion, he doesn’t know what to think anymore, and thinks about plans of suiciding. As he remembers his old friends, a small part of him wants to stop, but it was too late. He joined his friends in another place.

This... this is just SO COOL!! I love it!! I could see this introducing people, kids included, to classical music in a really fun way!

*Wonderful obsession.* Beethoven would be proud ;-)

Ok.. That raises the bar for people to impress me...

Well done you! I love how you bring in the sleds and the mishaps.

your work is truly amazing! such a gift and gifted person you are. :)
