This is kind of like the animated sequences from Monty Python's Flying Circus meets Lovecraft. On DMT. posted by Joakim Ziegler at 9:56 PM on June 1, 2011 [1 favorite]

I definitely found the ovine geometry one more disturbing than the cows video.
I think my favourite bit about the cows video is how it eventually transitions back into normalcy, with the cows standing in the field looking at you like "hey guys what's everyone staring at?" posted by Phire at 10:32 PM on June 1, 2011

I don't think he'll ever be able to top Moo!, in which cancerous cowblobs and robotic aliens rock out (and destroy the world). posted by Rhaomi at 10:42 PM on June 1, 2011
This is my current favorite thing on the internet. What a wonderful, bizarre, and awesome thing we have created. posted by spiderskull at 10:55 PM on June 1, 2011
Was I the only one who thought I was about to be asked to consider a spherical cowsheep? posted by DU at 2:45 AM on June 2, 2011

For my money, my favourite Cyriak video is Cycles, even if (because?) it's not so Lovecraftian. posted by Johnny Assay at 5:54 AM on June 2, 2011
As far as sheep go, it's even more surprising than this! posted by hippybear at 6:13 AM on June 2, 2011
Cyriak has an amazing facility for ripping out the seams of reality and restitching them in unexpected new ways. posted by Scientist at 6:52 AM on June 2, 2011
I have been very curious about this myself. I could be very wrong about this, but my current hunch is that the basic technique is about using 3d animation software with models that have video clips as their textures. posted by idiopath at 6:58 AM on June 2, 2011
How does he do it?
Personally I think he has an LSD lab in his basement. posted by hippybear at 7:01 AM on June 2, 2011 [1 favorite]
Adobe Photoshop and After Effects. And occasionally Flash.
Are there any animation tutorials that would help me rip copy emulate what you do?
After my secret animation formulas are you? I guard them with lasers and electrified guard dogs. Rock hard they are, don't mess. posted by HeroZero at 7:53 AM on June 2, 2011 [1 favorite]

I've always distrusted sheep anyway... don't let the baaing and the gambolling fool you, the're monsters with woolly coats on. Look at their eyes. They. Are. Just. Not. Natural. posted by fearfulsymmetry at 8:23 AM on June 2, 2011
