Seated before an impromptu table of cardboard boxes, Ian Deibert did not know he was making a video that would become internationally famous. <\/p>\n
\"It was crazy. It never kind of hit home until a month later,\" he said. \"Everything was really weird to take in.\" <\/p>\n
Deibert and his friend, Nick Sjolinder, made the viral video \"How Animals Eat Their Food,\" while they both attended Liberty University earlier this year. <\/p>\n
YouTube has proclaimed the video the most trending video in the United Kingdom of 2013 and the third most trending video worldwide. In total, Deibert and Sjolinder's video has garnered more than 90 million views since it was posted online in April. <\/p>\n
Sjolinder could not be reached. <\/p>\n
Deibert and Sjolinder first met as freshman roommates at Liberty. As a graphic design major, Deibert said his interest resided with animation and special effects in film. <\/p>\n
\"I've always just loved movies,\" he said. <\/p>\n
Deibert said he enjoys the larger, epic movies such as \"The Lord of the Rings\" trilogy, \"Braveheart\" and much of Ridley Scott's work, including \"Gladiator.\" <\/p>\n
However, through Sjolinder's YouTube account, the pair wanted to focus on more appropriate comedy. <\/p>\n
\"There's too much humor now that relies on the crass and vulgar,\" Deibert said. \"We've tried to keep it very clean and family-oriented.\" <\/p>\n
