Features: *All your favourite video effects, as long as they are dancing, walking, eating and sleeping. *Carbon neutral power source (Cyriak not included). *Guaranteed to never ever crash, ever. Not even in this video, you didn't see that bit.
Cyriak Animator Pro also gives you the tools to make your own video soundtrack, with patented rubber band technology and some other crap I found in my kitchen. Download it now from nowhere because it isn't real (or is it?) no it isn't (ok).
This video was made with Cyriak Animator Pro, the animation software that animates without any animating, which is more of a pain in the arse than I thought it would be.2,000,000 Ultra Mega Dance Partycyriak2021-02-27 | At long last, the ultra mega dance party has arrived, celebrating 2 million subscribers.

Lyrics: The existential threat that I always feel Nothing's happened yet today and yet I have to feel Danger near, danger here Nowhere to escape to and nobody there to hear as I now Scream in fear, scream in fear The existential threat is drawing very, very near and they all Look away, look away Can't they see the existential threat is on its way The existential threat that I tend to feel When I'm walking down the street or right behind the wheel Turning left, turning right Trying to escape the cloud that's close enough to feel and you may Laugh out loud, laugh out loud The existential threat is always hanging about and you may Say go way, say go way The existential threat is never going away Doctor gave me these, I said what are these? He said that they'll cure an existential type disease Doubt they will, doubt they will But I'm keen to try whatever, gimme that pill and he said Here's the bill, here's the bill In the end they didn't work, I paid the whole bill because Insurance won't, they just won't Cover existential meds, I wish I had known How should I react under this attack Even when I'm standing up I feel I'm on my back Quagmire here, quagmire there I cannot elucidate the danger that is always there but it is Looming large, extra large My semi-automatic weapon ready to discharge but it's a Futile act, better pack The existential threat is bulletproof and looming large Sartre and Camus seemed to understand Something close to what I'm feeling though they were in France Deux Magots they would go Each comparing existential threats they came to blows and then The crowds came near just to cheer For the greatest existential threatened philosophe and it is Comforting, comforting Then the comfort starts to very quickly fade away Did I wake you up, sorry if I did Guess I woke you up and also woke your little kid Threat outside, let me hide Just until the danger passes, then I'll go outside and have to Come again, once again The existential threat is at your patio door and do not Let it in, let it in When you fight the existential threat you will not win The existential threat that I always feel Lots of things have happened and I seek an even keel Danger near, danger far Nowhere to escape to and I'm racing in my car as I now Scream in fear, scream in fear The existential threat is drawing very, very near as I now Drive away, by the way Can't you see the existential threat is on its wayCircle Worldcyriak2019-12-14 | Some familiar faces have returned to take us on a journey through a magical world that is eternally creating itself.
If you like what I do and enjoy reading, here's a book I wrote: amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1783527609Horse Destroys the Universe - Now on Salecyriak2019-08-22 | Here it is at last: the story of a horse who is accidentally given the opportunity to change the world, and grabs it with both hooves. It is a story about the end of everything we know, and the beginning of everything we don't. What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be a horse? What does meaning even mean? Also there are sex robots.
You made this book happen, and now it is available to buy from real actual bookshops. Everyone tells me it's really good, so if you enjoy reading stories about everything going wrong in interesting ways, you should definitely check it out.
I became obsessed with this old piece of film footage and it evolved into a music video.RIPcyriak2018-10-30 | A spooky halloween extravaganza.

Hello, in case you were wondering where I've been hiding for the past 2 years, I've been writing a book, and now you can help me get it published. Would you like that? Then follow the link up there for more information.
It's a science fiction story about a horse who destroys the universe, and if you want an idea of what it is like, just try to imagine one of my videos that is about ten hours long and made out of words you have to read.
Cheers guys

I will try and do these streams every Sunday, so follow me on twitter if you want to know what I'm up to: @cyriakharris7 billioncyriak2016-07-02 | As Shakespeare once wrote: "All the world's a rabbit".
When I first had the idea for this video there were 7 billion people in the world, and I wanted to see what 7 billion of something actually looks like. I'm not entirely sure if I managed to create that many rabbits as I gave up counting them, and meanwhile 400 million new people appeared, so perhaps my work will never be done.
Still I got a funky video out of it, and now you have too. Enjoy
And if you like the soundtrack you can download it along with all my other music here: http://cyriak.co.uk/animation/musicMOO! [HD]cyriak2015-07-02 | Here's the epic saga of cows vs aliens, in higher resolution and widescreen.
When I first uploaded it in 2007, youtube had a maximum video quality of 240p, and the compression looked like someone had chewed up the video and spat it out. That has always bothered me with this video, so here it is again with more pixels. I also went to the trouble of extending it to 16:9 and fixed a few bits, which was a lot more work than I anticipated.

The track is called "Occupy", and the video covers 13.8 billion years of capitalism, using whatever loose change I happened to have in my pocket.
‘Occupy’ is taken from ‘I See You’, the current studio album from Gong, released on Madfish
Daevid Allen: bi-focal local vocals n gliss Orlando Allen: beat/crash/kick Dave Sturt: bass & invisible operas Kavus Torabi: crunchbox & scythe guitar Fabio Golfetti: winged guitars/glissando Ian East: sax

The chimps are from a short 1963 film called BflOggGX = STwWcfl x 2s4, which is probably chimpanzee for "stop dressing me in clothes and making me do stuff!"

further update: I won the 1st prize in the final stage of the competition. Hoorah!poo pantscyriak2009-09-25 | this film is at its heart an exploration of both personal and cultural themes, exposing our exploitative relationship with our environment on a personal level and, by extension, as a society or species. The poo in this sense is a symbol of the by-products of our capitalist consumerism, with alan titchmarsh reflecting the role of the media; alerting us, ridiculing us, perhaps even judging us - the media becomes a collective conscience that binds us to our own environmental mortality. The refrain of titchmarsh is answered by our inability as a global society to take a truly global responsibilty; as we continue to poo at paul's we are nevertheless reminded that the poo is in fact very much situated in our own pants.
And if you made it through that bullshit then your prize is a link to download the poo-pants song: http://snipurl.com/s44u0Boogie Mathscyriak2009-09-16 | An educational cartoon for kids which explains mathematics through the medium of dance.
