This is a music video about the life of the common lowlands code monkey. Jonathan Coulton is a singer/songwriter who releases his songs via the Creative Commons license, which enables projects such as this video. Through his “Thing A Week” podcast, Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like this one every week for a year. Mike Spiff Booth is a Program Manager at Adobe who thought this great song really deserved a video. Before you ask, since apes, goblins, and night elf receptionists don’t tend to interact much in the wild, he couldn’t only use captured game footage to make this video. Every frame of this video was composited together by hand using images captured from the WoW Model Viewer, WoW Map Viewer, and the World of Warcraft game itself. No monkeys were harmed in the making of this film. Please visit www.spiffworld.com for more information about his videos, including info about how he makes them. The song at the end of the video is “Big Bad World One”, another great Jonathan Coulton song.
First comment in half a year. 🙂
CodedLockFilms brought me here. Also, I can’t resist.
If it doesn’t have a tail it’s not a monkey, even if it’s got a monkey sort
of shape.
If doesn’t have a tail it’s not monkey
If doesn’t have a tail it’s not monkey, it’s an APE.

Code monkey is a fucking creep, and a shitty worker by the looks of it.
Wonderful stuff!
Nostalgia, it’s always sounds perfect to me.
What is that Armor from 2:30 – 2:35 ?
Having worked in the telecom / I.T. industry for so many years, I can fully
appreciate this song.

there. <3

This is awesome. =) Just found it today. Thanks for making me laugh and
smile. As a developer and previous WoW addict, this is just perfection.
I seem to be in a Jonathan Coulton mood these days.
