Electric Sheep in HD (2-hour 1080p Fractal Animation)

[@melaniev1296]

I appreciate the option of picking my own music. I prefer to listen to chill music when I'm watching something beautiful and psychedelic, not the frenetic electronic music which is often paired with these beautiful visuals.

[@MrVulcanator]

KZbin has been emailing this to me and recommending it in "what to watch" for a few months now. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW KZbin?! I'M WATCHING IT!

[@MaksimRaduga]

Fringe Wizard you can play your favourite sounds separately ;)

[@edenmessi7947]

lmao but why do you search videos on fractals. I typed in fractal films

[@MrVulcanator]

eden messi I never have. I think it recommended this because I watched some particle tests synchronized to music.

[@patrickl9135]

Mr. Vulcanator bbbn

[@galaxytraveler5779]

they arent happy, they expect you to watch what they want you to watch.....

[@jmore26]

This is what life is, not the creation of fractals, but the exploration of them.

[@JasonPaisley]

On a Chromecast and a HD TV it's just DAYUM! Love Electric Sheep. Great program have it on my Fedora Linux system.

[@JoeFourMan]

Like a looking through a lens at the universe. Simply beautiful.

[@jasonkirin1618]

Me and my friend... Molly... Are siting her watching this now... She is really thankful for this video right now. Her and I are also listening to Alan Watts lectures... This video has really brought our experience with each other together to a whole new level. She and I both thank you.

[@Vector_Ze]

At last! An Electric Sheep video that doesn't make me want to chew on a spoon.

[@DigiFootageFX]

There are some really incredible patterns going on in this one. I don't know how long I sat through so far, perhaps over 30 minutes, but when I have the time I'd certainly like to watch through. Some really inspiring shapes.

[@GralGrievous]

This is more "kaleidoscopic" than fractal. Still really amazing.

[@JonasPlanck]

1: download Electric Sheep, make it your screen saver. (set the frame-rate low for extra mellow grooviness) 2: locate mpeg folder in Electric Sheep program folder, add it to a library (in Win7) or bookmark its location or make shortcut or whatever... don't move the folder, or they'll be taken out of the "gene pool." 3: as the individual sheep are collected and/or "evolve," you can copy individual mpegs from that folder for your own use in your favorite video editor (they may need conversion to mix properly, I've found windows movie maker can make some nice hi-res WMAs out of them, the VLC player also converts them, but it's a bit more complicated that way) ...each one is exactly five seconds long, but that's negotiable in post production... 4:The filename of each sheep mpeg is comprised of four five-digit numbers: the first number is the generation (this number may be the same for all of them, mine's 00244)- The second number is the individual identifier of that particular mpeg- the third number is the identifier of the STARTING mpeg- the fourth number is the identifier of the ENDING mpeg- ... if the three identifier numbers are all the same, the sheep is "stable" and will seamlessly loop if repeated. you can use the "unstable" sheep to connect different loops, but it requires a bit of digging through the folder to find the specific mpeg to connect two specific loops. Look for the identifying number of your looping sheep as the THIRD number in the connector's filename, and the fourth number in that connecting sheep will be identifier of the loop it changes into. In this way, you can customize your own sequences, and use them in your videos (with attribution of course.) 5: ?????? 6: PROFIT!

[@saltysurfer77]

This is truly incredible that humans are able to create this type of graphical display. It really grabs you and pulls your mind into a emotional and physiological-evoking wonder and bliss. Makes me wonder what the future will bring. Thank you for the incredible display of human creativity. Cheers :-)

[@JonasPlanck]

Humans design many of them, but most of them evolve "genetically" on their own... the program procedurally "breeds" elements from different sheep into new sheep, based on which sheep are upvoted or downvoted by the users.

[@StarfieldRailway]

This is extremely high quality psychedelic art.

[@nikkidkat]

Love this for meditation. I have a hard time sleeping in this video sets my mind at ease and helps me get in a chill state of being.

[@reykaye6096]

It seems like the speed of the animation adjusts to the beat of whatever I have playing haha. Very cool.

[@sterling2233]

Beautiful, creative, dazzling visuals. And thanks for not mucking them up with music that you enjoyed but I would probably hate. Very, very nice work.

[@crazybobnewl]

Superb. This alone justifies buying a video projector. Bit of Procul Harum and this and I can relive my teens.

[@francinewilson3798]

Awesome colours!!! oooh look at that!!! wow!!! No need for music!!! beautiful!!

[@Christopherfunkachen]

So true brain doing summer solts in my mind

[@stewartstinson9097]

+christopher funkacheno solt?

[@bakintoast]

It's weird how much I resonate with fractals, I look at it and I'm like, "yeah, definitely, I see where you're comin' from with that, very cool"

[@slickbananapeel9226]

this is the most amazing visual ever

[@crbdragon9]

its not about what the video makes you feel, its how you feel before you watch the video

[@lyndseydoogie5197]

Watching this video to the album Mr. Beast by Mogwai is an experience that should be enjoyed by everybody. Seriously I've blown the minds of my friends by doing this everytime. I play the album and the video if you can get the timing right, get ready to trip balls

[@Empyreas]

If all the epicness in the world was compiled into one KZbin video, this would be it.

[@АлексейЧерных-д4к]

Красиво, слов нету ! Вот что значит богатая фантазия!!!

[@BoltRM]

Perfect background projected on the wall for my next party! Thanks! I will definitely be downloading Electric Sheep for my PC. I forgot I already got it for Android a while back.

[@GunDogSlim]

Totally amaing. THE best psychelic visual on youtube. Deepet gratitude to the creator and harer of such a fantastic piece of art. x.

[@ewenk7]

Thanks. This is precisely what I needed. The internet is a wonderful place.

[@UristMcTubedwarf]

10:00 wow... that transition... i shall call it planet acid :D

[@GrimGriz]

Thank you - from the GrimGriz DLive Livestream with Lemon Laughter Soundtrack!

[@Shiftrealities360]

Amazing and beautiful, thanks for the journey outside of this time/space reality

[@eyeprod3101]

Thanks for not putting some horrible EDM to this beautiful video. Very taste

[@USXPatriate]

I set my tele from 2d to 3d conversion and my head exploded. Holy shit, what a video. Where was this 25 years ago, when I really could have "Used" it. Absolutely awesome. If your tele has the capacity to render 2d to 3d, try it. Then post your experience. Prop's to the creator's!

[@wiseyeffect]

The visual progression is simply awesome.

[@stahmp]

watching this while I play around with my synthesizer! very fun.

[@interbeing-3-6-9]

Imagine that there is a billion years per frame and that the objects are stars, galaxies, black holes, and entire universes in an ocean of universes. These are cosmic dances

[@LawrenceCarroll1234]

I've watched my share of visualizations and fractal films, and although there are a lot of very impressive and beautiful ones out there, this one - by a considerable margin - seems to truly go beyond just about all of them! ahahahaha! I write this after pausing it at 16:47, but I expect I will continue to be still stunned when I resume! This is transcendent!

[@frankferrell1703]

Reminds me of the opening to Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. Just lacks Tinker Bell.

[@adamhead.9823]

no f---cking sh-t ;)

[@bigmeatball8023]

are you high

[@jefsimpson8129]

I found it absolutely hypnotizing.

[@rahulkanchangaikwad]

this is a very genuine effort by the creator. too good to put in words

[@baldbeardedbassist]

Just gonna go ahead and hook this up to my TV and put on some Tipper, real loud.

[@pigolho1]

totally

[@miletech]

Also goes super well with Desmond Cheese, Grouch, Elecrypnose (chill stuff)

[@soblunt421]

Listen to some "pretty lights" with this. A good decision. Thx for the visuals!

[@therealCharlieChill]

AMAZING VISUAL EFFECTS...LOVE IT...Now add some cool music to it and it will be ready ..Love it !

[@SallyMorem]

If 2001: A Space Odyssey had this stuff in the scene after Dave Bowman fell into the monolith, it would've been the ultimate trip.

[@joangordoneieio]

for when it was made (2001) it WAS the ultimate trip...

[@MrGoofySwitch]

joan gordon dude it was made in like 1969.

[@patrickl9135]

Sally Morem xxx

[@robertcartier5088]

@@MrGoofySwitch 1968, actually. But '69 was even better, we actually put people on the Moon! ;-)

[@marcstewart7466]

Love this screen saver, it's been on my machines ever since I first discovered it. Thanks for sharing :)

[@calebdrew5684]

Just about the most amazing thing I've ever seen. CCR's on...

[@MrVasteel]

Awesome. For me this goes well alongside the audio "FC Kahuna - Hayling"

[@bilabis]

amazing bit of work flows and transforms beautifully

[@LFC303606ACID]

Absolutely gorgeous, I'm listening to acid tunes and watching this, can't believe I typed this..

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

COOL, GREAT FOR BACKGROUNDS!

[@ObviousSchism]

There are TWO BUTTONS. I chose to press the NO MUSIC button and I was satisfied

[@MW2football098]

I can not imagine how long this would take to upload.

[@nxtcrafter1396]

I do this all the time when doing homework. THANKS A LOT

[@TheLentro]

thank you, very much for the time you spent making this, i found some music that made this special to me and for that, i thank you.

[@Calling321]

Very Nice. Meant for HD, not to mention 4K

[@greenbear1561]

I am high out of my mind on lsd and this is crazy. Thank you!

[@xxxekkoxxx]

This is already pretty good but it would make it awesome if you had an actual zoom in into all the different parts

[@RoamingMosaics]

That's exactly why I made it. I can run the blu-ray version on my wall-mounted LED TV when nothing else is on. Works pretty well.

[@lizsgdrive5353]

most beautiful thing i have seen in my life

[@karmadharma5668]

OMG, I love this, I play this along with Moodyblues Days of Futures Passed, and it fits together soooooo good, it was fantastic

[@chemp113]

просмотрел все 2 часа, красиво! только чуть глаза не вытекли.

[@BillDWP]

This is so cool. I wish it had audio.

[@vudielen]

wow, dude... i put my own music even with out reading the description. lol

[@The_Captainn]

[@GaryBeilby]

Wonderful vision, wonderful art direction. Deathly silent.

[@HardballsRecords]

Thank You Guys ! Great Job !

[@screamingmimi90]

This is way better than the other ones I’ve seen. Wow.❤️

[@shannonanderson2562]

Beautiful. This is going to be airing on my television very soon to a variety of music.

[@jerrydm54]

I work Apophysis 2.09 and I found the animations in here to be breathtaking! I'm only half way through because I used Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother for background music. Wow! Now I need to find some animation software to try this but with my wee little computer, it would take eons to render.

[@daevarthurford3529]

How this is made is explained in the title, with a freeware program called "Electric Sheep". you could describe it as a screen saver of sorts.

[@InterWarp]

I was about to ask how you even made this and then I read the description! I'm kinda high, and I am kinda smart, and THIS IS COOL!

[@shrader103]

this is awesome! i use it as a visualizer for spotify, and it syncs up perfectly every time...atleast i think it does..

[@kellygee1979]

How do I do that?

[@oaccessasia]

Great on shrooms.

[@RevolutionFromBelow]

Cause you have to listen to the music of your heart. The sound of the universe in your head ... Or simply the beautiful music you would like to listen to...

[@dogwood8031]

Magnificent piece of work.

[@mixedmercury]

I had this going with my pandora feed while studying and how well it synced to the music was kind of scary

[@awesomepowerscombine]

seen this video too many times. Please do another!

[@quickscopemcgee539]

So im trippin and i just found myself talking to my laptop telling it it's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen and i understand it perfectly, if you trip you'll love this and also understand it hahaha

[@RoamingMosaics]

I'll see if I can throw together a render farm of quad-i7 workstations to knock up a 10-hour version. :-)

[@Flailwielder]

At a [10] and these visuals are SO TRIPPY!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?

[@IraQNid]

I've used Apophysis to render my fractal flames at 4096x4096 pixels. Anyways cool looking stuff :)

[@IraQNid]

I've started a series of fractal uploads myself. I use them to tie in to my online DJ mixes of techno music. The videos are silent. They are arranged in a playlist. The instructions are included in each of my fractal videos should you care to look at them. Cheers :)

[@RoamingMosaics]

Not this video specifically, but other people have done 720p and 1080p HD renders of individual sheep on the Electric Sheep forums which could be easily looped.

[@mattbernier3037]

this acid and a 33 lp of darkside of the moon go together so well

[@CaptainFuzzzy]

This isn't real 1080p its just upscaled. I wish the Electric Sheep community would code it to properly render at 4k these days.

[@RoamingMosaics]

No, it's real 1080p. I rendered it myself, not through the screen saver. There is also a link to a very high quality mkv in the description.

[@TrustTheFund]

+titancrusher1 What's really going on is that the video is compressed a small amount to save on a massive amount of space. The blurs you see from watching these images are the computer's attempts to save as much hard-disk space as possible by making a 'similar copy' of the original, so it can compress it more easily. If the poster used a lossless video, you might expect to see a file size maybe over 20 times as large. This video is likely many gigabytes already, so an uncompressed video would be stupidly large.

[@DKdes]

+Simon Detheridge Tons of links in description but none leads to mkv download... Or which one of them does?

[@Isabelandart]

+titancrusher1 send us some $ and we'll make it happen

[@wearesimulated1579]

No Simon. You messed it up. The original video IS in 1080p, but you rendered this in too low a bitrate and the quality has suffered dramatically because of it. KZbin compresses videos automatically, but you clearly didn't have your settings right because I HAVE the original video you used for this. There is a 17GB mkv and a 22GB iso you can download and the quality is absolutely fantastic compared to this.

[@too_blatant]

SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS INTO A SCREENSAVER...NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Itsahartknocklife]

It is...electric sheep screen saver. This is what it is from.

[@AloneOnTheIsland]

link to it is in description

[@not2tees]

I put on the sound from "Terence McKenna - Global Perspectives & Psychedelic Poetics," and open window 2 to watch this. Very nice, very niiiiice!

[@DanielFenandes]

Amazing how dell polished this is,!

I like the no music thing. Nice One!

[@xaviganjam]

Amazing bros... ¡¡ thanks for share in CC ;)

[@apocraphontripp4728]

Where can I get this in hi def.... Id like to show this to my good friends molly and mary jane....and who ever made this....art is not about reproduction its about capturing or enducing a feeling...you are an artist

[@DreamofSpira]

This is so damn cool! It's making my mind relax. I love this effects what you made. *_*

[@lindseytaylor1522]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@jaknichols85]

Good gods. Can you imagine tripping and watching this with an oculus rift? That would be intense.

[@jamesbarnes820]

this is the coolest most beautiful images ive ever seen!!

[@brucel337]

Super awesome work guys! Thanks and MUCH appreciated

[@wiseyeffect]

It would be badass if Oculus Rift had a program like this.

[@wiseyeffect]

***** as long as you share the finished project in a video for me. Hell I'd even by Oculus Rift if you'd share.

[@wiseyeffect]

***** you're awesome!

[@Skoomd1]

it's called lsd, you should try it sometime :)

[@wiseyeffect]

[@Skoomd1]

wiseyeffect rock on man. i took 2 tabs earlier and i was literally thinking the same thing about how cool it would be if something like this was in a simulation. trippy shit man!

[@SirCronusofficial]

So you can put your own trippy music on without worrying about muting this

[@yevgeniyalibabaevich280]

2 full hours without music ?! ok ok . i am going to chose my self ....

[@CyberPixlMusic]

*_I guess this could use some slick Psy Trance to go with it ;)_*

[@itrantafoukt1690]

we can find fractal geometry in us, in nature in every where. it show that someone use it as signature that he is the only creature. I believe.

[@inmyheaven4369]

perfect for listening to great philosopher lectures

[@BountyB0b]

Wow - I love this :-) Listening to Trance Nation Anthems mixed by Judge Jules... I wish I had a projector to display it on the whole wall and not just on my computer's monitor.
