"POUR 101" The empty glass will finally grow. Animation by Patrick Smith.

The transfer of your innermost knowledge, and how the power of this knowledge can allow you grow, or evacuate your viscera and make you an empty vessel. Some can grow from sharing, others need to be emptied completely before they can grow. Not everybody grows with new ideas. The empty glass will finally be able to learn and grow. In this animated film, a wine glass discovers that in order to grow, he must be emptied of all his contents.
"POUR 101" delves deeper into the peculiar cartoon world of living and breathing wine glasses. This is the sixth animation of the series. A morphing type of synthesis occurs when a blue glass awkwardly approaches a glass filled with red. But instead of a perfect mixture, the Red glass retains size color, where as the blue glass inherits an amalgamated mixture , causing him to grow exponentially. Attempting to obtain this abstract growth, the Red glass goes on a frustrated sprinting rampage through multiple blue colored peers, only to stumble upon an empty glass. When performing the exchange on this glass, the red glass is completely drained of its identity.. and now is empty, as the chipped glass walks away full, pleased with its new found contents.
The newly emptied glass solemnly journeys back to the beginning, where he is re-united with his first two encounters, now completely willing to share their synthesized contents back to the original source. Finally, he grows. The result of this constant process of mixture is personal growth and an odd appearance of homogeneity, for better or for worse.
"Pour 101" is a sequel to "Pour 585" as well as the five others in the series. Each film is connected through the world they inhabit, and the processes and rituals they share, but also disconnected in terms of story and context. Each film contains within a cautionary tale about the dangers of conformity and the value of individuality. The films use visual metaphor to illustrate several sociological elements, namely: The process of indoctrination, hierarchal power structures, passing of knowledge or ideology, intellectual growth, ritual, discrimination, tribal brutality, and the merits of nuance.

[@sothysentuyhor22]

@@PatrickSmithAnimation I'm just noticing that now. Very impressive work, part of your style to experiment with where you take this setting and concept. It works especially well because the droning and at times panicked movement of characters and the camera helps guide us through the journey of 101, a realistic pacing that pays off well with how wholesome it is. I'm excited to see where this series goes next (but do take your time, this seems like quite a bit of work).

[@logicalcommenter4137]

As always, this is a great animation with a plethora of possible meanings. In general, we leave a mark on every person we meet in our lives, 101 physically leaves a little bit of themselves in all the people they interact with, and as far as we can tell it causes them to grow and they are happy. Now 101 doesn’t seem like the most open of individuals in the beginning, but either out of kindness, circumstance, or perhaps a little bit of selfishness, they have an impact all they people they meet, allowing them to grow. Perhaps 101 thinks that by interacting with and positively affecting others, they will eventually change the kind of person who they themselves are, and be happy. This isn’t the case. It’s not until 101 finds someone who is truly in need and they literally pour everything they have into them, that the people he has had an impact on in the past lend him a helping hand, and he truly becomes content. In summary, 101 started off as a fairly shutoff person, but after seeing the positive impact they had on people, they set out try and find contentment by helping others, which eventually did happen, but only after they gave all they had to those around them, and found peace with the people he changed along the way.

[@leaf5524]

This one is definitely one of my favorites of the series. I know many people are saying they like it for the happy ending, but I think of an interpertation with it. I believe the message here is that people come and go, and a little part of you stays with those you interact with. The empty glass represents someone who needed a lot of someone, and kind of ran off with those parts. However, the original red glass found comfort in the people who actually appreciated him in the end.

[@thakonwitwechpiat7689]

Excellent job of animation of storytelling. The “101” guy tried to influence the others to think the same ideas but ended up lost his identity to the one who is crippled and empty. Luckily, these blue guys are really nice and friendly they gave “101” good lesson and happy ending.

[@Galax_]

Another beautiful animation! I love these and am excited for more! Hopefully we get the origin story of the blue liquid, as it wasn’t explored yet! Love the concept of almost fusing / giving somebody liquid by walking through somebody.

We just watched a video about drug addiction and the way it effects your brain in my high school Anatomy & Physiology class as part of our subunit on neurotransmitters, and I immediately recognized your art style in the video. Just wanted to leave my compliments on your most recent video. As someone who’s a few months shy of 3 years off drugs, I love the expression of addiction as a purposely malevolent being “highjacking” the brain. The animation was beautiful as always, and the style and color choice fit the tone of the video perfectly.

[@PatrickSmithAnimation]

I knew that sooner or later there would be a cartoon about my favorite drink-character! Port wine combined with vodka as always is irresistible and unique!

[@PatrickSmithAnimation]

is port wine/vodka blue?

[@user-ut3pb4ti7m]

​​@@PatrickSmithAnimation There is also a bright blue vodka (perversion for teens in my humble opinion), but I am more inclined to believe that a shot glass person from animation simply because of the conventions of drawing is this color, just like when children draw a glass of water. But who in their right mind would mix wine with water? I apologize for this question to the whole Ancient world... And if we talk about port, it comes in a variety of colors, so my vision of these drinks has a right to exist. And finally, I must say that it is not I who am a thoroughly soaked inhabitant of the country of bears and balalaikas, port wine with vodka is the favorite drink of the most famous Russian singer of the time of Perestroika. The name of this man is Choi, and the tradition of drinking as he was adopted by many of his fans, just as Peter the Great taught all the nobility to drink in a new way for a new life in a new country!
