Martin, aka Ratonbat, calls his Gutless Wonders scene his first "real" animation.  It's 1 minute 12 seconds, compared to his previous videos which were all under a minute.  Martin drew every frame by hand on an iPad, 450 frames in all! 

Overall, it was a pleasing experience to do this. I loved to do it, to change my mind all the time and to make 450 frames for only 1 minute and 12 seconds! This is BY FAR my best animation yet.

A big fan of Rhett and Link, Martin loves many of their songs, especially Water Dispensing Tab ("So simple, yet so perfect," he says), Epic Rap Battle, Epic Rap Battle of Manliness, Maine Man, and Facebook Song. He says of his favorites, "They are so well made!  LOVE THEM!"
