I Made the World's BLACKEST FLIPBOOK

[@Conning157]

This is quite an emotional flipbook. It has a lot of power, but its not even CLOSE to how much power the invisible man sends to me emotionally.

[@micahclegg4569]

You are blessed my friend. I have had an anxiety disorder before we even met in Logan. I still deal with it and panic attacks are more common for me. Your description of how it feels is probably the most creatively accurate way to communicate the sensation "like reality itself is wrong or cracking" "it feels almost like instant death is right behind you." is how I have described it but I like your description more. Your visual interpretation of the experience is also spot on. I love that you ended it on a positive note. Hopeful. Encouraging. WONDERFUL.

[@andymation]

Thanks Micah ❤️❤️

[@ravenpotter5131]

TLDR : I don't have panic attacks, but this still made me cry because of similarities in my life. Thank you! I don't know if I have had panic attacks, but I have struggled with bipolar since I was young. Your descriptions of panic attacks are so similar to some of my bipolar episodes.... Especially 'like reality itself is wrong or cracking.' in my episodes of extreme emotions caused by bipolar, my perception of reality is heavily changed... A emotion driven hallucination just like claustrophobia causing rooms to 'shrink', when it's happening I can't tell if what I see or feel is real and it, falls into a self perpetuating emotional cycle until I have no energy left... The worst were the rage cycles... My only memory of those from when I was young are the aftermath which would definitely be cause for the adult protection agency. Even though I will always feel horrible for the things I don't remember doing, I'm glad they never showed up because my mom was always like the angel in this flipbook. With her help I always calmed down, and she is the only one who ever even tried to teach me the methods I now use every day to try and keep myself from another episode.

I so deeply relate to having panic attacks. The randomness is why it's called a panic attack vs an anxiety attack. Anxiety attacks have triggers, where as the panic ones are random and for "no reason". The dedication you went through for this flipbook and the story you shared is all so amazing, thank you. I love your videos

[@CookiesDC]

For me, I usually start with an anxiety attack that quickly becomes a panic attack. It’s at that point that all rational thought leaves my brain and I convince myself that I must be on the brink of death

[@Sauce-dc7sf]

arent panic attacks the ones that do have a reason behind them? because i had a panic attack at the dentist and i had an anxiety attack for no reason

[@astridmyst]

@@Sauce-dc7sf I guess that then depends on your definition of what a panic attack is vs anxiety attack. Anxiety though has a 'reason' for it, even if not logical. There is something that causes anxiety, like for example going to the dentist is anxiety inducing.

[@astridmyst]

@@Sauce-dc7sf Most people nowadays will use the terms panic and anxiety attack interchangeably but really they are different.

I’ve had similar experiences when looking at the vastness of space. It’s disorienting, like gravity no long exists, and you can’t tell up from down: terrifying and awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story. This flip book may be one of your best to date.

This is actually really amazing. The way you captured that feeling so perfectly, in such an artful way is admirable.

Still can’t believe I actually got to speak to you :D -Zoe

[@geo34south]

Your flip-book concepts are so small and simple physically and yet unbelievably big and complex in the emotions they consistently conjure in one. As I get older, I seem to become increasingly emotional about the important things in life and well up over them in a way that, mostly, I manage to hide. Guess, in your flip-book, it’s the intensity of black, the music and your reliving your childhood emotion that makes its impact particularly profound! Thanks for a beautiful experience.

[@anzaklaynimation]

This is much more than art, it's perfect human emotion. That was incredibly beautiful.

[@emi-san4723]

As someone who started having panic attacks at 9,i understand the feeling of trying to find any explanation for why you feel that why. Surprisingly, for me, the dark and more tight or Confined spaces were actually a comfort for me, it felt like the darkness surrounded me like a blanket, keeping me safe. I love your creations but this one especially was my favorite 😊

[@ValleyOfWillows]

The music, art and story reminded me so much of the game Outer Wilds. It also has to do with the vastness and complexity of the universe being out of your control, which makes it just as scary as it is beautiful. The black almost looks like how a neon black should look, if that makes sense. It's almost bright in its blackness.

[@GermiesCoasterYard]

I was thinking about how the mood of the animation reminded me of Echoes of The Eye. If you've played it, you probably know which moment(s) I'm referring to!

[@evest-onge5836]

[@astridmyst]

I've seen a ton of videos about this paint but haven't seen someone go so in depth as to how it works to be the blackest black paint. So fascinating!

[@apgwoz]

The irony of a stop motion animator saying “it took a lot of time to (prepare the cards)…” made me chuckle.

Great story concept, with an amazingly simple explanation of this paint! (Also, I had no idea the blackest paint war had a new contender! Or, that Vantablack had a new version that beats Black 3.0.

For me, my panic attacks feel like I’m deep under the ocean struggling to hold my breathe and there is an increasing pressure pushing me further and further into the dark void of the ocean. It’s in these moments that I feel as though I am crying out for help but nobody is there to rescue me. Panic attacks are an absolutely dreadful experience and I wish I didn’t have to go through it nor anyone else for that matter. Love the flip book

😎 Very cool! And I’m sorry to hear you’ve experienced panic attacks, glad you haven’t had a lot of them. I used to get them often, now only once in a while. Anyway… Love your flip book and stop motion animation version, too. 😊👍🏻

Literally teared up. I suffer from anxiety myself but never to the extent you had, super inspiring would love to hear about more self inspired from flipbooks

I have anxiety, but its totally normal for people without anxiety to feel anxious and/or panicked, for me, I usually feel anxious at night, similar to your story. It makes me feel better that someone can feel anxious without having anxiety because it makes me feel more understood and that I can feel ok that I'm not alone because while anxiety is common, everyone around me has found ways to cope and everyone still feels fine. I'm glad not that you felt panicked but that it felt relatable and that anyone can have a panick attack. I feel safer.

I came for the "blackest flipbook" and stayed for the story. It's like a Psalm in a flipbook.
