Seems like these guys have a pretty serious budget for animation and are not afraid of variety.

Matthew Stephenson: They Both Explode
20 OctA short hallucinatory tale of consumption, sorrow, redemption and vomit.
Matthew describes the creation process:
The film was made mostly out of card and found objects and shot using a primitive multiplane system made from a desk, some picture-frames and an old pillow case. I used Dragon software and a second hand Lumix FZ50 camera. It was all done ‘in camera’ so there is no compositing or anything; what you see is what the camera saw, lying on the floor, looking up through panes of glass with lights shining down on it.
Google Artificial Neural Networks – A collection
19 OctA few months ago the internet was raging about the new psychedelic videos released by Google. Apparently, when you take Google’s artificial neural networks (ANN) which recognize patterns in images and cause them to reiterate in loops, highly psychedelic patterns emerge, which caused many to ponder the ways in which these ANN’s can teach us about the psychedelic nature of reality and our consciousness. While Samy has already dedicated a great post to this issue, it seems like a good time for a retrospective of the Google ANN phenomena. So here are some of those psychedelic mind boggling courtesy of Google’s Deep Dream algorithm.
First some explanation of how these images are created:

No Brain
17 OctThere are many flavors of psychedelia, and one–I think–is thoughtlessness. In these videos, there’s not too much to contemplate, but I’d say each is a pleasure to watch. Though I can’t recall the source, a few simple words from an album review still stick with me years and years later, “Give your brain the night off.” This weekend I provide you with three samples of 3D animation to do just that.

STREAM – Explore The Unseen – Roman de Guili
16 OctRoman de Guili stages tiny universes which exist for miniscule periods of time on a glass plate, he then augments them and exposes the rich life within these spaces, invisible to the naked eye. 70 hours of shooting to create “an organic, non-generated character, establishing a truly reliable cosmos.” No color corrections, no composition, no CGI. Nothing but the breathtaking beauty which naturally emerges from the mixture of water, oil and color.
