The Making of Pumpkin Cowboy

Dapper Gent

This video IS incredible! I genuinely felt the love and really enjoyed such an epic story starring such simple yet compelling characters😁

That One Irish Furry

That is my favourite part of the video it is just really satisfying to sing PUMPKIN COWBOOOOYYYYYY

Trying to figure this out - you look like you're using software to get your camera feed direct from the camera onto your Macbook: is that correct and, if so, what's the name of the software? I've been doing something similar but far less elegantly: A Nikon D5300's preview mode, fed into my Elgato HD60s, then recorded using OBS. Gets the job done, but none of the tools are designed to do the thing they're doing and it shows.

Dan Dringus

This is easily my favorite video on the internet.

Boy howdy, that was a rootin tootin good time and I sincerely thank you for lettin us into yer process there, Brian.

Also, can I just say, and I hope I don't sound creepy, but this making of was the cutest of them all? There is something really special about the behind the curtain of a sort of theatre puppet!

Elisira

Such a gorgeous tale. I also appreciate that both leads are lefties.

Katie

I have this song on repeat. Thank you so much for your hard work on this. 11/10. 😊

Hi Brian, Pumpkin Cowboy is a gem. Thank you so much for this sweet folktale; it’s my favorite of your oeuvre. I hope Pumpkin Cowboy rides again!!

Hell People

This is wonderful and weird and touching, thank you

Andy Su

Same here! It started whimsical and silly and then I was really anxious for Pumpkin Cowboy! Really enjoyed it!

Elias Rosner

Brian. I got so nostalgic for the kinds of folk song stories I used to listen to as a kid with this. Perfect homage to the genre, hilarious and heartfelt. Amazing. Thank you for this joyous treat

Ross Llewallyn

I love how confident I am that the driving thrust of this whole video was just how good it sounded to sing "Pumpkin Cowboy" like that.

Stephen Conway

This was wild.

Allison

Thank you for continually putting such delightful, weird things onto the internet

Avery

I liked Teaching Jake, but this one was just kinda weird

bird mullet

It definitely made me choke up. It's a beautiful lil short film.

Same here! Also, when the screen went black during the fight, I was legitimately on the edge of my seat, anxious about the result

Jag

Great making of! I love seeing your process. Pumpkin Cowboy will forever be a mystery, yes, but a beautiful and wholesome mystery.

Daniel Asprusten

That ending got me choking up. Oddly beautiful.

Pumpkin Cowboy is my new favorite american folktale. It reminded me of "Story from North America".

It’s a good thing you already had some expertise with miniatures! Also, that means you have a kindred spirit out there who decided that this pumpkin needed to be a cowboy… EDIT: I don't know how much reach it has outside the UK but I STRONGLY recommend you watch "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West)" by Benny Hill if you liked this!
