The Gang Excavates a PyramidT

A Secret Santa gift for Nebula Aurora. I was having a lot of fun re-watching the Super Mario 64 stream by Mark, Nebula and Me, so when Secret Santa rolled around, I decided to dust off the ol' animation bone. It also gave me a break from the accursed monkey cartoon.

Some tidbits about this:

• The audio is from a stream. Both my friends made highlight videos of it: This is Mark's version, and this is Nebog's version.
• I heavily referenced that radio and voice receiver from the first episode of Lupin III Part 1 (the ones that Jigen and Fujiko use).
• I like how the whole thing feels more complete with the intro and the setup that Nebog and I are excavating a pyramid, especially with how short the actual moment was.
• That last frame is an inside joke.
• I used https://noclip.website/ for the backgrounds! They didn't have the original SM64 maps, so I had to go for the DS variants. Go ahead and scrutinize me about the inaccuracy, my friends already did. I turned off the UI of the page, went full-screen and recorded my screen for all the shots. It was fun trying to figure out perspective and how to place the drawings in the scene! The standard FOV was way too high, I had to lower it so that the shot doesn't look like you're trying to capture every ant all around you. Sadly, I recorded it at 60 FPS so when i converted it to 24 FPS, it made the camera movement at the start a bit jittery.
