Among the videos we watched, Alien Afterlife by Jeremy Couillard really stood out to me. It was completely trippy, like a full-on fever dream. The realistic textures in the animation gave the whole piece an eerie, almost uncanny feeling. At times, it felt like I was actually inside that strange world, moving through surreal landscapes and witnessing everything firsthand.

Another piece that grabbed my attention was Op Hop—Hop Op (1966) by Pierre Hébert. This one also felt a bit unsettling, but in a different, more cerebral way—I could almost feel it in my brain. The animation was incredibly hypnotic, as if it was trying to lull me into a trance. It felt like watching a strobe-lit heartbeat echo through time: strange, rhythmic, and oddly meditative.

I had to mention a classic, of course, flipbooks. They hold a special place for me because they bring back memories of my childhood. I used to love making little flipbooks with mini post-it note stacks, filling each page with random shapes, patterns, and figures to create simple animations. It was one of my first experiences with bringing drawings to life through movement.
