The Mind Electric Animation - Lonely-Man's Lazarus

After about a year and 3 months, It's finally here! Thank you to everyone who joined me on the journey of creating this animation and thank you to everyone for the support. I never expected this project to amass such a following. I really did this animation to scratch an itch in my head I could never reach and to really experiment with Blender! I hope you will stick around for future animations for there is so much to come!!

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.

Also i simply love how in that part all of it takes part in his neurons, like it's all in his mind. Also how the face of the demon becomes twisted when saying "inside my mind" is just super interesting.

[@Maggotier-t5o]

Honestly my favorite thing is if you watch it and pause a bunch of times during the chaotic parts. 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.

2:38-3:04, I especially like the part where she copies the man’s movements while the lyric “doctor I can’t tell if I’m not me” is playing. Really clever

[@eynurreynurr707]

“understand whats going on inside my mind” this part alsoo!! i love this!

[@charlottegelinas901]

I agree also I just think this animation is magic. Everybody clap as loud as you can

[@Blairo_aight]

Just the end part with her is my favorite. her voice is just so perfect and goes with the song so well

[@lunebadru5997]

This section alone encapsulates how I feel daily and it hurts

[@Dinovr241]

Same that is my fav

[@SandsAgain]

This, no joke, is some of the smoothest, most technically-impressive and fluid animation I have ever seen, some scenes really remind me of the old Disney films to how smooth they are, this does the original song justice and then some, and some scenes are so impressive and fluid that it's hard to believe that this was made in 1 year! Thank you for making this.

[@mels8145]

I was just thinking how this reminded me of the animation in some thing like Hercules

[@kiadxxz]

genuinely made me fall in love with the song for a second time

This is the kinda stuff that plays in my head when I listen to music. Lotsa animations and stuff that I’m not skilled or energized enough to bring to life like this

I'm not that good with words, but this should absolutely be put into the history books, and every part of this animation is on an astronomical level, especially 0:00 to 5:40. I'm glad I was able to see the progression of this animation; it was seriously amazing!!

I agree mostly but in my humble opinion negation and anger should be switched and he feels wrath and acts out after he tries to deny it. Viewing it as a good thing but his lies to himself can't help him so his pain and emotions burst out of his head.

[@lonelyalchemist9865]

0:27 I love how the hand of the judge morphs into different shapes before finally becoming a sort of hand.

[@CAyuh]

2:49-3:00 easily the best piece of animation on youtube

[@cayenne37]

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.

[@fleabaguette9699]

Same!! Its so good. I love the camera shakes when Grim slams his hand in the ground, it really adds to how big and imposing he is.

It always amaze me how art can represent almost at a 100% what a something looks like inside someone else mind

[@ROCKYROADBOY]

The way the line “ Someone Help Me “ is absolutely gorgeous. Not saying that the rest of the song isn’t it was just a highlight to me. The way the person swings around as they transform is just mesmerising to me.

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!

[@smallmafia1384]

I wish I could see an entire movie that was this fluidly and creatively animated. I rewatched this like 10 times by now. 2:38 is my favorite segment, so much happens yet (if you watch it slowed down) you can see where everything comes from and how it ends up where it is

This is such a masterpiece, the animation is so smooth yet so complex at the same time, I’m so glad to finally see this in completion because wow that was genuinely one of the best works of art I think I’ve ever seen.

[@bluebeanbeebz]

Not to mention how well the story is told, and how intriguing it makes the characters feel!

[@abyssforphantoms]

I agree. Also amazing to think this was done in what... a year? It's a glorious work of animation. It will be exciting to see what else they make.

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.

[@imjustbeingrandom]

Man, as a non-animator. This really made me feel how animators on 2D movies work. If you made this ALONE in a year. Imagine a hundred! Thanks for this great animation!

[@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.
