This animated music video is rather interesting. Coming out back in 2014, it was something that is rather different with the characters all moving to the beat of the song throughout the video with their heads bobbing up and down. From what I've gathered, the music video, and the others that some after, are done by Ben Magnum or "MysteryBen27" which is his youtube account. As of now the man behind Mystery Skulls actually has claimed at least one of Ben Magnum's music videos as official.
What I found quite interesting about it was how well it does at visual storytelling, and also the fact that these characters have been inspired by Scooby Doo with the dog, the van, and the characters wanting to find ghosts and solve mysteries. It is done in such a way that when watching it multiple times, you find there are details that you have missed. Also, this all culminates into using the song and turning it into a story. As mentioned before, there are other videos done using the same band and each of the different songs are used to make the story more intriguing, and so far those are based around the songs "Freaking Out" and "Hellbent". Unfortunately each video takes around two years to make so we won't see anymore of the continuation until 2020.
