LoopdeLoop: Hallucinations

5 Nov

LoopdeLoop is an animation challenge. Each month, animators from around the world create looping animations based on a given topic and upload them to http://www.loopdeloop.org. On the last Tuesday of the month all of the posted loops are compiled and screened to a live audience at Loop in Melbourne, Australia. During the screening a winner is declared, who enters the hall of fame and has their loop featured throughout the following month.

The last challenge spanned two months, Sep/Oct and the theme was “Hallucinations”. Below are the winners and some of the more interesting entries (some are animated gifs.

Eye – Optical illusion

28 Oct

I’ve watched a number of videos which attempted to emulate the optical effects of psychedelics  through the use of optical geometry in the past, but this is by far the superior one. Watch the clip for 2 minutes, and you’ll be amazed at how transformed your vision will be.
