'POUR 101' Not everybody grows with new ideas.. Animation by Patrick Smith.

Показать описание

The transfer of your innermost knowledge, and how the power of this knowledge can allow you grow, or evacuate your viscera and make you an empty vessel. Some can grow from sharing, others need to be emptied completely before they can grow. Not everybody grows with new ideas. The empty glass will finally be able to learn and grow. In this animated film, a wine glass discovers that in order to grow, he must be emptied of all his contents.

"POUR 101" delves deeper into the peculiar cartoon world of living and breathing wine glasses. This is the sixth animation of the series. A morphing type of synthesis occurs when a blue glass awkwardly approaches a glass filled with red. But instead of a perfect mixture, the Red glass retains size color, where as the blue glass inherits an amalgamated mixture , causing him to grow exponentially. Attempting to obtain this abstract growth, the Red glass goes on a frustrated sprinting rampage through multiple blue colored peers, only to stumble upon an empty glass. When performing the exchange on this glass, the red glass is completely drained of its identity.. and now is empty, as the chipped glass walks away full, pleased with its new found contents.

The newly emptied glass solemnly journeys back to the beginning, where he is re-united with his first two encounters, now completely willing to share their synthesized contents back to the original source. Finally, he grows. The result of this constant process of mixture is personal growth and an odd appearance of homogeneity, for better or for worse.

"Pour 101" is a sequel to "Pour 585" as well as the five others in the series. Each film is connected through the world they inhabit, and the processes and rituals they share, but also disconnected in terms of story and context. Each film contains within a cautionary tale about the dangers of conformity and the value of individuality. The films use visual metaphor to illustrate several sociological elements, namely: The process of indoctrination, hierarchal power structures, passing of knowledge or ideology, intellectual growth, ritual, discrimination, tribal brutality, and the merits of nuance.

The happy look on 101's face at the end really made my day.

This one was the best one, I love that in the end he needed to empty himself into someone who needed substance the selves in order to become part of the crowd he made. It’s so cute and wholesome, no one seems so upset either 😊

This series never fails to deliver. The fact that so many steps are taken towards world building yet you’re still curious about what’s going to happen and what it means is what makes me enjoy it so much. Thank you very much for continuing this Patrick. And keep up the good work.

This was a little "jolly" than usual.. No one dying, no one cracking, and no one getting angry. I like it when the characters get some happiness from time to time :)

The meaning of your artwork reminded me of an old saying from centuries ago :
“ Bad morals are contagious ” .
How I love your creativity, sir artist !

As always, this is a great animation with a plethora of possible meanings. In general, we leave a mark on every person we meet in our lives, 101 physically leaves a little bit of themselves in all the people they interact with, and as far as we can tell it causes them to grow and they are happy. Now 101 doesn’t seem like the most open of individuals in the beginning, but either out of kindness, circumstance, or perhaps a little bit of selfishness, they have an impact all they people they meet, allowing them to grow. Perhaps 101 thinks that by interacting with and positively affecting others, they will eventually change the kind of person who they themselves are, and be happy. This isn’t the case. It’s not until 101 finds someone who is truly in need and they literally pour everything they have into them, that the people he has had an impact on in the past lend him a helping hand, and he truly becomes content.

In summary, 101 started off as a fairly shutoff person, but after seeing the positive impact they had on people, they set out try and find contentment by helping others, which eventually did happen, but only after they gave all they had to those around them, and found peace with the people he changed along the way.

This ending seems happier than the ones we usually get.

This short made my day. Through the prism of cups and glasses, we essentially see the same picture of what is happening outside our window among people and it’s simply amazing. I will never get tired of watching these cute glasses

Looking at all these works with metaphors, I understand what gigantic work is being done to create this.

I really like the way the animation is smoothly done.
