WAY too much coffee...! (or perhaps some other more interesting drug?)

Jake Fried creates animation. In this particular case he utilizes only coffee, whiteout, and ink, layering the drawing in successive images to create a retro/psychedelic trip. I give you "The Deep End"

More here.

I like these a lot, but find the constant shakiness a little distracting. Great sounds too.

I like these a lot, but find the constant shakiness a little distracting. Great sounds too. I noticed the movement as well, I suspect it's the result of not being able to create a stable equipment environment. Time lapse is difficult to manage on the cheap. As for the sound, it was perfect, so subtle that, frequently, it was really on the edge of awareness.

Reminds me of Rinpa Eshidan. Youtube channel. Which includes things like this and this.

Beautiful drawings. (The movement was mesmerizing me - I had to struggle to keep my eyes focused.)

Blu is another example of someone whose tremendous art is detracted from by their hideous sound work.

I enjoy the art quite a bit, the sound is frustrating. I wish people like this guy, Svankmajer and a few others who put effects gratingly high in the mix would have just omitted sound altogether or put a song over top of their work. Serious question: can you adjust the volume? When I click a link for video or music, I almost always turn the volume down until I get an idea of what's playing, then turn up until it's comfortable. In this case, it's not like the SFX are drowning the dialogue... I would really like to know more about Fried's workflow, anyone have links that explain how he does this? I know it's frame by frame... more curious about the camera, lighting, and how the layers come together...

Maybe, but it looks purposely done to me, like the artist is using it to emphasize the movement in the piece.
