Cyriak Animator Pro cyriak 2021-09-11 | Introducing Cyriak Animator Pro, the new professional video making software I built myself out of lego and cardboard.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.

7 billion cyriak 2016-07-02 | 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. EnjoyAnd if you like the soundtrack you can download it along with all my other music here: http://cyriak.co.uk/animation/music
MOO! [HD] cyriak 2015-07-02 | 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. Enjoy

poo pants cyriak 2009-09-25 | 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/s44u0
