eclops
I create weekly animated content for social media platforms ranging from societal commentary, horror, comedy, and introspection. My moniker is under the username @eclops on Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube. Below are examples of this work.
FYP
FYP features a sentient, amalgamized serpent for-you-page and serves as a commentary for social media algorithms and their desensitizing nature.
it features a segment of "The Mind Electric" from the catalog of Miracle Musical.
STROLL
STROLL features a turnip named Turniphead wondering through the grass, disheartened that seemingly everyone has a more interesting life than he does. Little does he know, the life he's lived is one that has inspired his neighbor Danielion.
MIRROR
MIRROR features a character who feels like he is being watched, even in a room where there is only his reflection that is accompanying him.
other animations
below are other projects that can also be found on my social media page.
my inspiration for my animated work is foremost the human form. Pulling from foundational knowledge informed by weekly figure drawing sessions for years allows for me to simplify my approach- which in turn allows for audiences to engage with each work more fully.
considering how algorithms, by virtue of their approach to keep users engage with the algorithm itself rather than an individual creator, train audiences to swipe or refresh their FYP regularly, my simplified approach allows for even less resistance while maintaining creative authenticity in storytelling and theme.
