There's a South African artist who does great stuff with pastels, can't remember his name right now.. What I like about chalk animation is the trailing effect from the smudges of previous “frames”.

First link I've ever gotten approved on Fark, very proud it was JoCo.

Thanks for all the clicks and comments. The clip on youtube went sky-rocket from 30 to 6000 views in a week. It was a fun and frustrating project. I wish I had more time to refine and complete the song. Anyways, this animation cannot succeed without the great music. Thank you! Hi everyone! Thanks for all the clicks and comments.

Thanks for putting it up! Thanks for making music that students can use for projects. I used t require that they make their own audio or only use copyright free music. Now with Creative Commons, these kinds of artistic collaborations are so much more accessible. Lynn I taught the class where Pisut made this incredible video. Thanks for putting it up!

You know, that thing you do to kill time when you're supposed to be coding right? I saw a live video where you mentioned you dropped a job using VB. Congrats, that language is horrible. Probably a plague upon us codemonkeys who I believe for the most part like more logical languages. To the point. I liked the Mandelbrot song. It gave me brief flashbacks of math class and... other things. I think I went through a fractal phase when I was taking hallucinogens. I studied and read up on them though at the time (16) the math was more complex than I had yet studied. Either way, sweet deal and congrats and freeing yourself of the codemonkey tedium.
