Animated by Patrick Smith, this bizarre visualization of peculiar stitched up grey people who occupy a dark rhythmic world, where they carry the earth strapped to their backs and participate in a morphing choreography interlaced with TNT, wooden swords, and stretchy movements. Remixed to the brilliant retro hip hop music of Otis Mcdonald.
This animation was hand drawn pencil on paper, and digitally colored. Special thanks to the original musicians that this was remixed from. #patricksmith #animation
