ObliviousHD, real name Matt, is a british animation director who specialises in video production, editing and animation.
Matt created Studio Oblivious / ObliviousHD, a channel dedicated to producing Roblox stories, skits and animations. He is also the co-owner of Nanoblox which released the popular administration suite HD Admin and the widely used open source applications TopbarPlus and ZonePlus.
Alongside his twin brother ForeverHD, they produce content for YouTube and Amazon Prime, which has amassed over half a billion views and 3 million subscribers. They also develop games and applications for Roblox, which have amassed over 170 million visits and 30 million sales.
History
During the Christmas Holidays in 2013, Matt and Ben spent hours creating their their Roblox first game Boat Ride. This is when Matt learnt how to edit videos and created the ObliviousHD channel to upload their game trailer and first video. From this, Matt developed his passion for video making, while Ben developed an interest in programming and user interface which he has pursued ever since.
Over the years, Matt and Ben explored creations outside of videos, including their games Guest World and Roleplay World which were inspired by the films of the ObliviousHD channel. One of those films, The Last Guest, resulted in the channel growing massively and achieving 1 million subscribers on 11th April 2018. They have produced 3 films so far, those being Guest 666, The Last Guest, and The Bacon Hair.
They also created applications such as HD Admin, a moderation and fun based administration suite which was released in 2018. This blew-up with over 30 million sales as of April 2022 and became the most popular application on the Roblox Marketplace. This was later re-developed and re-branded to Nanoblox.
Personal Life
Matt was born on September 13, 2000 in England, UK. He has a twin brother Ben and two other siblings. They both competed seriously in athletics across England in their teens. Matt and Ben were featured on the BBC in 2021 after an article about them 'We paid off our parents' mortgage making video games' went viral across the UK.
Since 2021 Matt hasn't posted anything to his social media, causing some concerns over his disappearance. In March 2022, Youtuber Chizeled managed to get in touch with him and confirmed that Matt is doing well, but has been away after fracturing his elbow in 2021, and taking time away to build up his multiple projects. In September 2022, Ben (ForeverHD) explained that Matt had been working on various projects which he was originally hoping to release in the following months.
Later on in 2024, Matt had previously began developing a lack of interest for creating Roblox Films as it was revealed by EnderFred on Twitter that this was due to the massive burnout he had gotten from attempting to produce The Bacon Hair 4 and wanted to step away from the internet to focus on his personal life. This had additionally taken a big toll on him up to the point where EnderFred (and ForeverHD privately) confirmed his decision to quit for a while until an announcement was made a few months later on his Roblox Group in 2025 by Matt with a message left for the community.
Where is ObliviousHD?
ObliviousHD is planning to return in 2025, confirmed by his increase of activeness on Roblox and the description of ObliviousHD's Roblox Group being changed to a message for his community: "Cya in 2025" - Matt.
This is given further confirmation in a post by an active Oblivious Team Member, EnderFred on Twitter.
