Neurotic Creativity

Before my grandfather became so ridiculously obsessed with making his movies, he had a major jones for computer programming. He learned it so as to get a little job security at the art school where he teaches, what with artists being a dime a dozen and all.

Using object oriented languages, he figured out how to write his own custom classes and then implement animation objects that he invented. He used a lot of math, especially trigonometry to make these things move around in cool ways.

He also made a program that would randomly get sections of music tracks and overlap them. We are listening to a bit of random Thelonius Monk in this movie.

So why don't you sit back, and enjoy a little neurotic creativity!

This was so fun to watch. I don't think you need the baby framing the movie. It's just fascinating to have the computer art by itself, like animated abstract expressionism with surrealism and avant garde music and poetry rolled in. Really, there is something so soothingly stimulating about this. I think you should make some more pure art movies that viewers like me can play full screen and lose ourselves for a while inside of. Great job. You really are an amazingly creative person.
