music: Bossa Antigua - Kevin MacLeodDistant GiantsMattias Pilhede2023-02-13 | I wanted to try something a bit stylistically different, it took a while to make but I like it so far and think it has potential to develop further.
Earlier this year I read these articles by C. Thi Nguyen which reframed how I see art, and evidently, after I wrote this I couldn’t help but tell how much his writings had influenced my views on art. I think if you want to read more about this kind of thing, these are some great reads: philarchive.org/rec/NGUTAS philpapers.org/rec/NGUTAO-8SeasideMattias Pilhede2022-11-25 | Trying out shorts
music: youtube.com/watch?v=A9QcjqZuhUISwedish WeatherMattias Pilhede2022-11-25 | I saw a lot of animators using "shorts" in creative ways, which made me interested in trying it out. This is more of a vignette/moodsetter to start things off, but I'd like to try some short animations too.
Edit: Previously titled "The Laughing Birds of Ikebukuro Park", but I was a bit unhappy with that title and came up with something I felt was better suited.

Previous title: An Old Fable An Old Fable but you're an adult now so it sounds different
A lot of people have found the previous titles a bit confusing, so I've experimented a bit with different titles. But also, I've just not been super happy with what I had before.
Music: Jeremy Blake - I'll Remember YouWhy Learn Japanese?Mattias Pilhede2022-04-29 | Some time back I made a video called "Your First Day in Japanese Class" (youtube.com/watch?v=r5LgoRcYUxk) to encourage people to Learn Japanese. Everyone watched it and decided to never ever learn Japanese. Let's give it another chance.
If you're now curious on where and how to start, I strongly recommend Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese. guidetojapanese.org/learn

Music: Kevin MacLeodRamund (A Re-telling of a Norse Folktale)Mattias Pilhede2021-07-16 | My retelling of the Scandinavian medieval folktale, “Ramund den Unge”.
There are a lot of different songs of Ramund/Ramunder the Young/Bold/Evil that have been sung for hundreds of years. For some reason I felt compelled to collect a bunch of songs, blend them together and then make my own version that is a story.
If you’re Danish you might be familiar with a very different tale about Ramund from the Swedish ones. The tale has a lot of regional varieties across Scandinavia, and can be comedic or gruesome depending on where or when you hear it from.
My goal wasn’t to create a true, “authentic” version, only to do my own retelling. It is a mix of varieties of the song with my own changes and meanings added. One of the main changes being, well, it’s not a song anymore.
I encourage anyone suddenly thinking of making their own version to do so, and feel free to add my own variations. After all, why do stories stop getting told? Because they stop changing.

* Previously titled: A Former Weeaboo Goes to Japan, but I thought over time that it was maybe a bit of a cliché title, and not necessarily at the core of the video.
If you want a similar Japan travel video I recommend "The Japan Trip" by Ajakes, it definitely influenced this video. youtube.com/watch?v=m7vRksKTPDE

Everything I've learned about learning. Study Less Study Smart.
Note: The "focused mode" and the "diffused mode" do not necessarily correlate to a "right side", or a "left side" of the brain, because the brain doesn't actually work in different sides in that way.
Sources: This is written from my perspective on learning things based on my experiences with drawing and painting, but for research purposes I studied the work of Barbara Oakley to see where I was wrong, or where things could be explained in a better way. The parts that are more neurological are inspired by her work.
(I asked the girl for permission before making this video)
