Extra Credits featured on YouTube Rewind!
Added 2017-12-06 20:05:26 +0000 UTCUh-oh, it's 2017 and the floor is lava! Check out our fully animated appearance in this year's YouTube Rewind video, an annual compilation of the best of YouTube. You might say we added some extra... credits!

This super-hot animation was done by Scott DeWitt and Nick DeWitt, two of our wonderful artists!

Thanks for telling me about YouTube Rewind. I didn't know that existed. The whole thing was fun, even though I had no context for most of it.

2017-12-07 02:06:54 +0000 UTCThanks, we're really glad you enjoyed the animation! I kinda get tunnel vision for our content so it's hard for me to even keep up with any YouTube trends, but there's something kinda cool about watching a video where you hardly know anybody but you do know that ALL of them are big names in their own spheres. I bet there were plenty of people wondering "who are these weird bean people jumping around in that lava" but hopefully they enjoyed our bit even without knowing who we are!

2017-12-07 02:06:42 +0000 UTCWe were at the end, but we also got to have the screen all to ourselves, as it were. Can't say I'm unhappy! As big as Rewind gets every year, it was exciting that they asked us to be part of it - and part of the first year that they included animators, no less!

2017-12-07 02:03:27 +0000 UTCAside from EC, none of the youtubers I like were in that video, and Stephen Colbert doesn't count and shouldn't count as a youtuber as the studio simply puts up clips from his TV show and it's not content specially made for youtube. Also other than Matpat (urgh) and Simon's Cat (I don't mind that one just don't follow it) I don't think I have seen any of the others either.

2017-12-07 00:51:32 +0000 UTCI think having it animated at the end is far more fitting for the style of the vids than having Dan and James either blend into a crowd of faces or be hidden in makeup like Matpat

2017-12-06 21:33:27 +0000 UTCAnother year, another chance to realize I've never even heard of 99% of the most popular YouTubers, and I watch A LOT of YouTube. Not a complaint or anything, it's just wild remembering the sheer volume of stuff on the internet. (It's super cool seeing you guys included though, really enjoyed that animation!)

2017-12-06 20:30:13 +0000 UTCsoooo...does that mean in the future we can have a platformer that features dan and james? (and perhaps others of the EC team + characters)
