Pink Floyd - Brain Damage (Animation Competition Entry)

Jez Pennington's entry for "Brain Damage" to the 50th Anniversary Animation Competition for The Dark Side Of The Moon.

Software used:
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe After Effects
3ds Max

The primary animation was created using 3ds Max. I modelled, rigged and animated all of my reference frames here. Once the reference frames were exported, I took them into Adobe Photoshop to hand-draw, frame-by-frame over each one to give it a traditional, hand-animated look - as well as adding some new elements (the mouth-shapes, clouds, backgrounds, blades of grass, extra details, etc). Once all the elements were hand-drawn, they were composited in Adobe After Effects. The final pass was created by adding overlays of hand-painted textures, vignettes, noise and grain, etc.

Nothing in this video was created using AI or any AI generation software.

The 50th Anniversary release of the iconic album will continue to be celebrated as Pink Floyd invite a new generation of animators to enter a competition, curated by Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell of Hipgnosis, to create music videos for any of the 10 songs on the iconic 1973 album. Pink Floyd have a rich history of collaborating with animators from the beginnings of the band (Ian Emes, Gerald Scarfe, etc.), and in some cases the visuals that accompany the songs have become synonymous with the music itself. The band would like to give all animators an opportunity to present a fresh take on these timeless aural works. Animators can enter up to 10 videos, one per song on the album. A winner will be selected from a panel of experts which will include Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason, renowned directors Terry Gilliam, Anton Corbijn, Sarah Smith, Kyle Alba, Daisy Jacobs, illustrator and Floyd collaborator Gerald Scarfe and UK Chairman of design company Pentagram, Harry Pearce. The deadline for submissions is Decmber 31st 2023.

HOW THE FUCK DID THIS NOT GET AN HONORABLE MENTION!

[DaysofProg]

Oh wow, this is just fantastic! I love to see all of the clips that came out of this competition, and this has to be one of the best I've seen so far, and definitely the best for this particular track.

[zenmasterjay]

This one should have won or at least been in the running for this song.🎉

[mikeday]

Of course everyone has heard of the album, it's famous!

[insektAnimation]

Very cool animation. But i am confused, i see so many people upload their videos with the "public" setting on. But doesnt the rules say something about not uploading it official to any social media until 3 month after it has been shown on the official YT channel?
Am I missunderstanding?
