I made this video for showtime back in 2010, since they commissioned a new one this year I've been allowed to upload the old one to my own channel. So here it is.
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.
If you like this crazy music I make then you can download these remixes for your personal enjoyment, via bandcamp and spotify etc

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 way
If you like what I do and enjoy reading, here's a book I wrote:
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1783527609
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.
You can order it online in either physical or digital form, either direct from the publisher here:
unbound.com/books/horse-destroys-the-universe
or from websites like amazon:
amazon.co.uk/Horse-Destroys-Universe-Cyriak-Harris/dp/1783527609/ref=sr_1_1?crid=JD0ABIKD98Q0
I became obsessed with this old piece of film footage and it evolved into a music video.
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
Cyriak

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/music
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

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!"
The music is by me as usual, and yes it is meant to sound like that. You can download it from here should you desire:

It was commissioned by spring69 http://spring69.com for Polydor. Something to do with the radio.. not entirely sure what, but I did manage to sneak a cow in there.
No cows were harmed during the making of this video, though their future prospects probably aren't as optimistic.
