A look inside the after effects project for my "Baaa" video, full of sheepy badness. -- Watch live at / cyriak_h Streaming on Sunday night at 9pm London time
When I've worked on some video projects in the past I can't stand watching them afterwards. Especially anything funny. It becomes painful after seeing every second of it repeated over and over as you try to get things right. Then afterwards, when it has been sent out, you see little flaws you didn't fix because you were just too sick of editing it.
I'm lazy as hell and somehow I animate, make music, act, write scripts and stuff so I totalky get cyriak here. I guess being lazy is in the eyes of the beholder, or in this case the artist
Creativity and drug induced perception are only sometimes similar. Drugs might make reality look like Cyriak's animation, but it takes craftsmanship to share your perception with the world. Grasping the plasticity of perceived reality doesn't require drugs - psychedelic art might have a similar effect like drugs though, without the chemical pollution that goes with it.
It's, of course, unsurprising that he doesn't take any drugs to produce a video. People affected by any drug are very unlikely to be able to dedicate themselves to the highly tedious and time-consuming task of editing a video like those of Cyriak. But in a way, isn't that a bit more terrifying, that all of the absurd and frightening images that we see are the product of a perfectly sober mind, simply functioning the way it always does?
That's not entirely true, some of my best stuff I've ever made in Ableton and Photoshop was under the influence of weed or acid. It can make it much less tedious, and bring me closer in tune to the idea I'm trying to express. EDIT: To clarify, that doesn't mean anyone who is creative has to be on drugs. Just saying it's inaccurate to say someone on drugs can't do something as time-consuming and creative as this.
I don't think I could ever thank you enough for this. After five years of leaving me in awe, you have finally rescued me from the sea of ignorance! Thank you for this. And if you enjoy doing educational videos like this, which you seem to thoroughly do, please make more :)
I was actually watching your videos last night with my boyfriend... And I realized that you were on live this morning. I live in the US so hopefully I"ll get to watch your next stream. Do you listen to any prog rock? If you don't, you should listen to this song called Presto Vivace And Reprise by UK. I think you'd like the first keyboard solo especially.
HHHHHOOOOOOLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY SSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH*^%##%^*^^+=¥£€~!!!!!!! Lucifersam1?! Dat french speaking Raptor who got his "birthday tradition"?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! What a treasure trove of a video. I genuinely consider you one of the most talented and artful editors/animators alive. This is so cool of you to do.
+Veilan The first sentence was 100% joke, I'm not that of a silly one to really belive that.Just... he looks so...Cyriak... as if nowhere said that Toby Fox was the creator of it, it could totally look like something Cyriak will make. A little yellow & white flower to...that.
Been a big fan of your work since I saw those weird little loops. I have been wanting to see this kind of thing since you started making them. I never dreamed you'd show it and this in depth. So glad you decided to show under the hood. Thanks ^_^
Thank you so much for having the generosity to give us this unfettered peek into your After Effects techniques and creative process! Was definitely illuminating to see how you made such an amazing psuedo-3D animation from a tiny bit of limited-angle footage. I actually own CS5 but haven't used it for much beyond a little Photoshop since I've been using Sony Vegas and Jasc Paint Shop Pro for so many years. However, I'm working on a RUclips Poop collab that needs some visuals in the second half that are beyond Vegas' capabilities, and watching this has given me enough confidence to tackle After Effects for the first time to create them. Thanks!
I am quite late, but allow me to just applaud your overall style. You could have reasons aplenty to be pretentious and smug about your proces, but the fact you're so rather humble and showcase your workings through here is really dang neat.
***** I'm laughing seriously now, of course I don't know well, but what I DO know is that LSD makes you see flashing colors And I really wonder if this ever happened to Freud, I'm not a psychologist so who knows
So, essentially, it's using the parts of the sheep as base components for assembling the video. Pretty boring mechanics-wise, but so is the Great Mighty Poo fight in Conker's Bad Fur Day. Flavor text is everything. Also, can you make your music available in FLAC format? I'd buy it.
I hear some of your great music that hasn't been in any of your previous videos (that I'm aware of), is there somewhere I can download or purchase your complete musical endeavors?
Thanks a lot for this video! I like the part where you said "I only drink tea. HAHHA!!!" and I realize now that you're actually a normal human instead of a murderous serial killer or something lol
Would you please release your music featured in "Going Down" as original FL-rendered mp3's? I'm sure many a Doom player would rejoice greatly. I clearly hear _Hiding from the Robo-Zombies_ at 3:02, so there's no way they are MIDI-only. To hear them in original orchestration would be awesome!
i always wanted to see how cyriaks videos actually are made. all i know was some thoughts on reddit from other persons and a quote from cyriak where he hust says he works with the puppet tool, .... and so but this is great because one can see the actual project. best would be the after effects file
"I have no idea how I made this"
amazing
Yeah cuz he was prolly on acid atm
he knows what he makes?
Playing around
"whenever I've finished a project, I never want to look at it again." my life in a sentence
fap = project?
sooooooooDark what no..
When I've worked on some video projects in the past I can't stand watching them afterwards. Especially anything funny. It becomes painful after seeing every second of it repeated over and over as you try to get things right.

this is exactly what I did too. I mean what's the point, unless there's a revision lol.
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh me too hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The amount of times he says he's lazy: You are not lazy. Animation is not possible if you are lazy.
I'm lazy as hell and somehow I animate, make music, act, write scripts and stuff so I totalky get cyriak here. I guess being lazy is in the eyes of the beholder, or in this case the artist
i animate and i'm practically a trashbag.
@@Scratchydude829 FINE, you have Cyriak to learn, it's a milestone.
extremely persistent!
You can be lazy and _still_ be able to get work done, though.
I love how even cyriak is weirded out by his own stuff
That's how he knows it's good
E
@Kristian Dawson bot
The weirdest part of the video is that Cyriak actually looks absolutely normal and sane.
When artists with great creativity get called insane and weird or on drugs, I get extremely sad. Can people only compare art with drugs and insanity?
Cyriak stuff is scary though
Creativity and drug induced perception are only sometimes similar. Drugs might make reality look like Cyriak's animation, but it takes craftsmanship to share your perception with the world. Grasping the plasticity of perceived reality doesn't require drugs - psychedelic art might have a similar effect like drugs though, without the chemical pollution that goes with it.

"Which kind of tea is your favourite"
*Maniacal laugh*
"I just like normal tea"
Scary.
7:01
Laughs in british.
he said this after i read this comments
The master of After Effects
I don't think Andrew Kramer would be willing to give up his title that easily.
thats a name i havent heard in a while, hahaha
italian??
Andrew Kramer Vs Cyriak pls
Tocsik
In a UFC cage.
It's, of course, unsurprising that he doesn't take any drugs to produce a video.

"Absurd and frightening" or "mesmerising and inspiring"?
Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
***** So basically Cyriak is playing Dark Souls on the highest difficulty, with his toes, and his eyes turned around 180 degrees inside his skull..?
That's not entirely true, some of my best stuff I've ever made in Ableton and Photoshop was under the influence of weed or acid. It can make it much less tedious, and bring me closer in tune to the idea I'm trying to express.

Dave Starr I'm triggered I'm writing about this on my blog.
My teacher at school used to show example of your work on what you can really do with aftereffects if you really put effort into it
Nah, only the strongest drug of all: knowledge
@@Patoshlenain 🤔
Patosh le Nain Genius
Apparantly for British people tea is basically like LSD.
LSTea
yep
no.
Well you can make tea with shrooms and DMT so pretty much yeah, they're pretty good too
I didnt say that, DMT and Shrooms isn't LSD
52:13 among all the things I've seen from this guy's animations, THIS may be the most scariest thing I've ever seen by far, period.
52:13 I just saw that the pony profile then I click in that the pony on the video said It was the scariest part in the channel so far.
stweeeeeem
wut, you! in here! wat a surprise
LorxZ dude... my animation "wiener wars" is a direct inspiration from Cyriak.
Boi
wow i didn't know. PD: you are my favorite animator
wait wat
Only drinks tea? boy, what strong tea that must be
There must be more that tea leaves in that tea
Mushroom tea
Frank Zappa only drank coffee and smoked cigarettes. Salvador Dali didn't take any drugs. People who're on the next level seldom do.
I don't think I could ever thank you enough for this.
After five years of leaving me in awe, you have finally rescued me from the sea of ignorance!
Thank you for this. And if you enjoy doing educational videos like this, which you seem to thoroughly do, please make more :)
DUDE !!! Got to keep inform when you do those stream ! I'd watch it everyday !
I was actually watching your videos last night with my boyfriend... And I realized that you were on live this morning. I live in the US so hopefully I"ll get to watch your next stream. Do you listen to any prog rock? If you don't, you should listen to this song called Presto Vivace And Reprise by UK. I think you'd like the first keyboard solo especially.
im legit seeing you everywhere XD

Wow! What a treasure trove of a video. I genuinely consider you one of the most talented and artful editors/animators alive. This is so cool of you to do.
Ah, you're British -- that explains so much. Your sense of humor and strangeness is top notch. Very classy.
I don't know why but it feels refreshing that even you laugh at your own pieces.
And thus, the secrets are revealed!
I think the real secrets are what the heck he has to be smoking to come up with this stuff lol
Plain tea and boring biscuits.
Not sure if smoking biscuits is really healthy.
I caught myself hitting tilde, scrolling to zoom, and hitting spacebar several times during this video. >_
Work deformation! ;P
I didn't realize I was typing the number zero in the comments to ram preview
Hi adahop
Seriously though... release all that sweet, sweet music. We NEED it.
No. >: O
Totally unaware.
*Лайк если cyriak самый лучший!*

Yurij Orlenko го взяимку
Here's a question:
Did you make Omega Flowey for Toby Fox?
Also, will you make a video like "Baaa!" in Omega Flowey mode?
I can only imagine the horror. .-.
*just gonna drop in here because i'm interested as well*
oml
Cyriak didn't seem to appear anywhere in the game's credits, so likely not, no.
+Veilan The first sentence was 100% joke, I'm not that of a silly one to really belive that.Just... he looks so...Cyriak... as if nowhere said that Toby Fox was the creator of it, it could totally look like something Cyriak will make.
A little yellow & white flower to...that.

aaaahh you voice is sooooo good
Yes ;-; so comforting and for lack of a better word normal XD
NO!

no
OMG ur voice is soooo good
I wish I could spend a day in your mind.
Be careful what you wish for...
This was actually super informative and interesting. Definitely should do more!
holy sheep man! thanks for doing this :D
I love your projects, please keep it up!
I am quite late, but allow me to just applaud your overall style. You could have reasons aplenty to be pretentious and smug about your proces, but the fact you're so rather humble and showcase your workings through here is really dang neat.
Wow man you're amazing. Want to be able to edit like this one day.
UwU
Cyriak secrets revealed. I've wanted to mess around with similar things for our videos. Good to see how the magic happens. Nice work
I instantly fell in love with this channel
this video and all of cyriak's old videos are all history! look at the dates the comments and everything!
See? That's why cyriak doesn't take drugs.
A drugger would never and could never be capable of doing something that complicated
***** Wat
***** Lel but they probably didn't write/compose/draw while overdosed on LSD
***** I'm laughing seriously now, of course I don't know well, but what I DO know is that LSD makes you see flashing colors
And I really wonder if this ever happened to Freud, I'm not a psychologist so who knows
normal video : horror video!!
but live stream : just a funny video
I have a question: What?
Ever consider doing a x-rated animation?
+Ham Sandwich actually not a bad idea
id watch it
ya
What exactly are you suggesting?
Why not an R rated one?
"9:35" it begins but the first 9 minutes are still definitely worth a listen°°°
no
AM SKIP
Hey mate! Huge fan of yours. I found your work something very unique and special. Congrats.
Thank you so much, great to learn from someone whos on top of their game!
This b=video in a nutshell: cutting a sheep into bits and rearranging said bits.
Everyone has got this thing in their reccomendations 4 years later..
😆
me encanta el hecho de que estes de vuelta, me gustan mucho tus videos :) (
I love the fact that you're back , I really like your videos)
Muy bueno es cyriak
Hola estimado te das cuenta de lo que estamos percibiendo una obra de arte
So, essentially, it's using the parts of the sheep as base components for assembling the video. Pretty boring mechanics-wise, but so is the Great Mighty Poo fight in Conker's Bad Fur Day. Flavor text is everything.
Also, can you make your music available in FLAC format? I'd buy it.
I hear some of your great music that hasn't been in any of your previous videos (that I'm aware of), is there somewhere I can download or purchase your complete musical endeavors?
It takes over an hour for the music from this actual video to pop up in the play list. Not that I'm complaining, just found it interesting.
I'm also now curious as to whether he'll eventually make videos for some of the tracks I hadn't heard before.
tea is a weird drug.
i love this guy, hes amazing
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
holy crap, cyriak held a stream! never would have seen that coming
45:13 phreeeww *plop *
Йопт, сириак проснулся!
yeah but what kind of tea?
strawberry
he already said
NORMAL GOD DAMNIT!
Video editing: Hi!
Cyriak: Hello!
Video editing: f**k.
I wish I could do that
I love cyriak even the video is weird.I love so much
Cyriak is god
That was awsome ! Maybe the next live could be about how you make music ?
Thanks cyriak, always wondered how does your magic work :)
An old witch does not pass her trade on unless she thinks she is going to die soon. Can you hear me, cyriak?
Thanks a lot for this video! I like the part where you said "I only drink tea. HAHHA!!!" and I realize now that you're actually a normal human instead of a murderous serial killer or something lol
THE CYRIAK IS STILL ALIVE! :P
i'd like to see how you made malfunction.
one million years have a new video!
Wow cyriak, i can't believe i missed the stream, i hope it'll be more. Greetings from Argentina!!!
What do you use to make your music?
Would you please release your music featured in "Going Down" as original FL-rendered mp3's? I'm sure many a Doom player would rejoice greatly.
I clearly hear _Hiding from the Robo-Zombies_ at 3:02, so there's no way they are MIDI-only. To hear them in original orchestration would be awesome!
When I saw the layers “how the hell does he keep track of all that!?”
Do you think four minutes is a second?
Yes, and I'm tired of pretending it's not
Ah yes, behind the scenes of the weird side out youtube.
That whole thing was awesome!!! just a lot of patience
You are surprisingly normal! Great vid. Loved it. Thanks for the upload!
feeling good cyriak thanks for asking. do you make the music yourself? do you edit with a track in mind?
Please release more music, I love that shit.
Now can you show us how you made Cows & Cows & Cows, Malfunction, and 7 Billion?
that's disturbing
that's what psychodelic horror games have inside
Thankful for Baa HD!
Baaa was a really bizarred and artistic video, it was my childhood
i always wanted to see how cyriaks videos actually are made. all i know was some thoughts on reddit from other persons and a quote from cyriak where he hust says he works with the puppet tool, .... and so
but this is great because one can see the actual project. best would be the after effects file
I was listening a podcast, but this is definitely gonna be much better xD
1:00:58 The music for the lamb video starts playing.
Cool. Always wanted to see how it was done.
Man ... I keep coming to this trying to match what I've learned. Dat Micromanaging though!
h e l l o . i a m a l i t t l e l a m b .
THERE IT IS!
Learning from the mastaaahhhh!
Really informative. Just using videopad but hopefully I can apply the same principles with a little extra work.
Really glad I've been pronouncing cyriak correctly.
Waggly sheep's tails 😅
Great video! I'd like to see more of how you made "Kitty City."
I'd love to see the music projects.
PARAAAAA!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
CYRIAK dictionary definition should be: The Key-frame Houdini with 8 bit Electronic Tunes
Finally an inside look! :)
do you use fl studio to make your music ?
круто ! меня так долго мучал этот секрет))
