Very Nice!!!
I loved it, but the sound and subtitles were a little hard to understand.
Here is a similar funny LSD story, my girlfriend's friend a couple of years ago took some LSD, it fucked him up so badly that he through that he was an Orange and started to peel himself with a knife...
I know it's sad, but I all I could do when I heard this story was laugh :)
Trippin
All I Have to say about this is that it is absolutely insane. In a bad-good way, I mean. I enjoyed it. But it did make me twitch a couple of times. Very uncomfortable. But I like the morbidity of it.
Wow.
Simply amazing.
Absolutely stunning.
LSD is a strange thing in that I never figured it would be possible to even come close to explaining what it's like without having to actually be on it at the time, and even in that case it would make no sense to an outside observer. Somehow you've managed to overcome this and create a work of art that amazingly captures both the visual and audio effects of it at once. Without a firsthand experience I doubt it could be possible to understand just how much work must have gone into this, and how carefully you planned everything out to recreate the experience.
The animation itsself is astounding. The fast paced nature of it creates the frantic mood perfectly, and all the subtle color changes, camera angles, and visual effects are done with amazing skill and precision. I doubt I'll ever be able to witness a better representation of the visual effects of LSD, and you must have done a lot to have enough experience to take note of the things you were seeing and then recreate them the way you did. The common response to people asking what things look like is generally some form of the "It's like things are morphing around, but really they're not," and then giving up and telling them they'll never know until they experience it for themselves. This is close enough that you might as well consider it an educational video on the visual effects of it.
The same goes for the audio. Altered voices that have slight static sounds to them, as well as the quickly changing speed and pitch to make it reminiscent of Lorenzini from 12 Oz Mouse. The overall "far away" sound of the narrator, even though he's talking and it's from his perspective. The high pitched noise in the background. All the unidentifiable background noise. Everything is exactly the way it should be, and the amount of attention to detail is something that will probably go unappreciated, but is certainly something to marvel.
The main point of the Flash, though, is the style in which it's done. The narrator speaks in a delusional poetic way, not bound by logic. More of a primitive state of mind where whatever thoughts that rapidly spring to mind are acted out. Cutting off his own hand because some flawed perception of it causes him to classify it as something evil; something that needs to be disposed of. Brief flashes of unrecognizable things, the room shifting form around him, an almost positive view of his self destruction. Even remarking that the watermelons that are ripping off his eyelids is a great feeling, and ignoring his eyes being catupulted from his head because he still has the mental image of the room around him, as he escapes into his own separate reality. This is truly a work of art, regardless of a subject matter that most people would deem as being questionable. A man's descent into a masochistic insanity powered by raw, unfiltered imagination manifesting itsself into a tangible form.
It's sort of like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as well. Deciding if it's supposed to be viewed as horror or a positive thing is hard to decide, and the question is certainly there. An escape from a dull, rational world into a frantic, Kafkaesque one filled with uncertainty and disregard for morality or anything held sacred. I must say that this had a great effect on me, and certainly deserves a high spot in my favorites list.
very good
very well put together, and gruesomely horrifying. briliantly, frighting scenes. what was your inspiration for this flash vid?
