The Mind Electric Animation - Lonely-Man's Lazarus

[@audreyschockett8277]

this literally feels like the kind of thing you’d imagine in your head while you listened to the song and it’s rare for an animator to actually capture that feeling so kudos to you for that

[@samantha_hill_123]

LITERALLYYY OMG

[@jehnull]

this is why i cant stop watching, it is EXACTLY that phenomenon of making an idea a reality and capturing the exact feeling it brings

[@skelestial]

I agree! Everything here in the song is spot on to how I imagined everything. Perhaps the only difference is that I imagined more in the real world of how those evil entities were controlling his mind to do the stuff that causes the trial and then he is sent completely into his mind (perhaps then is flashbacks to before the trial) after showing the infirmary he is sent to. Nonetheless this animation is very well done and fits the song and it's imagery perfectly!

Yeah I used to like it as well until I realized how closely the story matches what's taught in the Bible. The purple guy with horns is part of a superior race of super powerful beings, that mislead people into believing in various different higher powers. Sounds exactly like the demons described in the Bible.

You’ll slow down and see things like the actual distress on the guy’s face in some scenes, be able to actually see what’s happening in the flashing frames, see the guy looking&reaching out at us, see what the demons are doing, see them grinning at us as they mess with someone’s mind, see other recurring people behind the judge, and lastly, see that the butterfly at the end that the guy lets go of has the same flashing colors as his mind did before that. Even the smear frames look natural in this style of animation, it’s like every single frame was intended for you to study it intently like its own individual art piece. Beautiful.

The way you captured the feeling of Mind Electric in this animation perfectly is very impressive, and I applaud that.

Holy SHIT this is amazing. It captures the chaotic confusing nature of the song SO WELL and the animation is genuinely so fluid. I don't think I can even put into words how much I love this.

I remember looking at animations for this song close to 4-5 years ago and just thinking about how much potential there was in this song. You've not only delivered on that potential, but innovated and transformed it. This is the most abstract yet brilliant animation I've ever seen. I appreciated this song prior, but now I adore this song and animation together even more.

I’d say that artists should be praised more for their skill - “talent” implies an automatic proficiency and kind of undercuts the tons of hard work and practice that got them to where they are today. That said, I think this artist has a talent for creativity, and great, GREAT skill with putting it out into the world. Bravo Daisy!

The movement these characters have have the same feeling as when you’re trying to run away from something in a dream but for some reason you can’t seem to get anywhere except that in this they are actually managing to move. I mean this as a good thing it adds to the vibe and is a very cool effect.

[@DanBacksIide]

This needs to be a movie sequence this is amazing

[@definitelynotclaire1]

2:15 is definitely my favorite part, but every frame of this is an absolute masterpiece. The way you make it hard to focus on one thing for certain sections and the way you use the stiller scenes creates a perfectly confusing but amazing experience. It’s so clear how much talent and skill went into this even just in each frame. It fits the song but also perfectly encapsulates the story and your own creativity and mind. Well done.

The sequence from 2:26 to 2:29 is my favorite. Not enough people talking about that. It's already masterfully animated, but the glare added to Grim's eyes makes the motion that much more fluid and believable. Crazy. Instantly one of my favorite animations ever. I can only hope to achieve a fraction of this kind of talent someday.
