Mind Electric || Animatic || TW - Derealization+ Flashing Images + Electrocution + Blood + Needles

If there are any other trigger warnings I missed please tell me! :D
ok so
I've been dead for a while. I have no excuse other than my laptop is failing and it lags like crazy. Also I started playing Minecraft and it has consumed every last braincell I've been desperately holding onto.
EDIT 10-21-23: This character used to have DID in previous iterations, but I have since dropped that aspect since I realized I was not educated enough on the topic to serve that sensitive and complex subject justice. The horrors that befell Vino (whose name I have since changed as well), were purely outside his own actions, and the kills he committed were purely in self defense. He never had any “evil” altars in any iterations. The song was meant to follow the tragedies that befell him, not any crimes he committed. I recommend finding other creators with DID who represent their experiences through their art and writing if you’re interested in learning more about it!
I mashed two versions of Mind Electric together
first part: • The Mind Electric by M...
second part: • The Mind Electric

I’m literally in shock (that pun wasn’t intended) but...holy shit??? Everything about that was amazing. It was terrifying in all the right ways. The imagery was astounding, the colors perfect, the animation smooth. The story was gripping and horrifying and beautiful all at once. I loved every second of it. This is a masterpiece.

[@cactuslicker839]

Story is gripping and terrifying by itself, but this song is a part of album "Hawaii Part II". This album is a full story of how "The mind electric" came to be and what happened next. I won't spoiler though.

See, he was out with his girlfriend, and somebody went on and killed her but all the evidence pointed to him and not the killer, so he himself genuinely believed hes insane and killed her, causing him to plead insanity not because hes just a psychopath

I almost had electroshock therapy as my absolute very last option. I still can’t live on my own without risk to myself from deep depression and PTSD-induced psychosis from time to time. Hallucinogenic chemical therapy helps stay off the worst of it for a time, though it isn’t necessarily pleasant. Love the song and the pure horror of the hospital setting.

I've rewatched this so many times now, so much about it is just incredible! The colors, the story, just the way that the animation goes so well with the feeling of the music that I can't hear the original song without thinking back to these amazing sequences, you deserve so much more recognition for your work! Great job!

Also knowing the actual story to the song (from the album its from) there is a disturbing undertone of clarity to it all and yet it still feels so broken and incorrect. its just an amazing phenomia of a song honestly.

I’ve got to say this is the first animatic of this song that is as (actually even more) genuinely disturbing as the original work. Even then, you did it all with the unreversed version. Well done!

[@datguyuno98]

I'm not someone who likes anime, in most cases I actually dislike it. The animation quality is always top tier but that's about all I can say positive. I say that to preface my next sentence. I have NEVER seen a more fantastic, emotional, intense, imaginative, and nightmarish video in my entire life. I have no fucking clue what the source material for the character is but I really don't want to know, this is his entire character to me and that is absolutely perfect in my eyes. So much detail for what is, essentially, mostly just some still images. There is no other interpretation or version of this song that could possibly top this

I love this version of the electric chair interpretation. The idea of starting at the execution, and the entire first half of the (non reverse) song being within those short couple of seconds, genius. Plus it makes the animation look way cooler and more interesting (than of course just a guy living for most of the song/electric shock therapy).

Made several comments then deleted them but all to be said is that this is so cool! The vibrant colors, the movement, the way it's collected, executed, and shown, as it flows along with the song, it's just brilliant. That ending especially, despite everything that had occured, a small moment of peace washed over, but just as a mere illusion. It couldn't be undone. So, if this is still a work in progress, perhaps an animation or something, then can't wait for it to be finished, bet it's going to be a masterpiece. ...
