Sad, Drunk, Alone, and Fucking Miserable - Animated Short

An animated short created in Processing featuring love, loss, and flocking simulations.

As a huge fan of stop-motion animation, I wanted to carry that aesthetic into this work so the entire piece was recorded at 10fps and motion and video were subtly tweaked for each frame to give slight variations to the characters between each frame.

The piece was played "live" using keyboard to control the two main characters movement, as well as trigger the title fades. The background characters are controlled by an automated flocking simulation basedon the classic boids routines.

Each frame was saved to disk and stitched together later. GSVideo capture was, unfortunately, unable to produce a clean enough encoding without artifacts, so individual frame saving was neccesary.

dude i effing LOVE your music. You deserve fame, and money. I wish I could buy all albums but I'm 16 and my dad won't let my buy stuff online. I'm an aspiring cinematographer on youtube. One song i really want to use is puzzle, if i'm allowed to use it, what would you want me to write in the description and at the end of the video?
