- Some paper animations made during the production of THROAT NOTES • THROAT NOTES
I was giving people drawings as a Patreon benefit to fund my animating but then the drawings turned into the frames of more animations. If you sit still too long everything else starts moving

Felix colgrave is the only animator powerful enough that even his paper animations automatically have sound effects
You're absolutely right..
Felix is a very powerful man indeed, and his power only grows.
@@Ht9ehtoom Soon nothing - and no one - will be able to stop him...
@@dracognia it is already too late... Felix shall consume it all!
He doesn’t add them in post they just emit from the paper
This is like a buffet for people who enjoy talent.
I can not put into words how impressed I am with those animations.
I mean chefs are pretty talented so a normal buffet would also work
I'm sorry I'm just hungry
Feed me more.
Imaginative entrées
Umm delish I love me some Kentucky fried talent
The fact that Felix was careful enough to the point of making the frame numbers detailed instead of plain is awesome
Yea
Sorry to break it to you but... 0:11
Edit: 1:04 and 0:47 too
Felix is still cool though
plain awesome you mean
@@pasqualparade5799 I wish we had magic so we could use these paper frames to make animated postcards.
me: haha whoever this is took inspiration from Colgrave
also me: *looks at channel name*
As an animation student, one of the most most impressive things about this is just how well he aligned the frames when photographing them.
This was the first thing I thought of, and then it didn't take long to realise a rig is the way to go here.
M a g i c
@@LiMCRiMZ a rig?
Can't you just take measurements so that you can always put it in the same place?
The camera wobbles
It's a program you use in cell and claymation, you plug your camera into it and it essentially gives you an onion skin so you know where to line everything up.
this dude is an actual wizard
@Señor Why Me maybe a warlock?? that looks like some black magic
Juan what are you doing here?
you might actually be right, and that frightens me.
Say that again.
he even has a wizard beard
I love how even the numbers in the corners are fancy font
Ah yes my favorite font
Liquid state
It's in the "Colgrave Style"
Why number your frames if you can animate it 😆
THESE R SO COOL
agreed. I love abstract weird stuff.
I eat dirt
@@rodyo1000 Very nice, Liora.
Didn’t expect you here
@@rodyo1000 good for you
I wonder what his child is gonna say when they find out their dad is legit one of the best animators out there.
Felix Colgrave is so powerful, that he can just think of an animation and it just automatically gets created twice as good as intended
the process isnt quite refined, as it takes 8 months, but well worth the wait
@@cupofdirtfordinner r/whooosh
@@cupofdirtfordinner -_-
@@cupofdirtfordinner maybe the dude has some other job on the side or is just days in forest taking mushrooms and using that for for creating concepts for his drawings, it doens't matter. In the end it is just the results, which is amazing.
And yes i would like to see more of him, so please let him work on improving the process, no doubt.
@@Thomas-cr2pt he freelances but thats it, and now he freelances far less because of his patreon. Also he has a wife and kid, so i doubt hes doing mushrooms. I was just kinda making a joke though tbh
no that’s breaking the rules. using magic when animating is cheating
Everything is possible with this man
Indeed
Well what do you use to make your animations? Science?
Indeed magic is the only thing plausible to think
well you have no room to talk
I love the way felix animates hands! It’s like really amazing, confusing and unsettling at the same time!
Every knuckle movement looks deliberate and planned and I love it
It is how I imagine Philip Guston’s work would look, were it animated.
I knew that detailed animating was hard, but I didn't think it was THIS hard, there's 25 frames in a short, about 5 or less second scene, and they all are EXTREMELY detailed
Oh it's way worse than that. Felix often animates at 30 frames per second instead of the standard 24, that's why his work looks so smooth.
Animating takes an incredibly long time, that's why any animator on CZcams has a really slow uploading schedule
Felix's work sets a precedent for others traditional 2d animators to follow. I genuinely wouldn't even be suprised if his cartoons become studied in universities someday if they aren't already.
From personal experience I can reveal that they are
@@AngryPeopleStudios where did you go where they taught about him?
I'm an animation student and yes we study his works in univertity.
This dude is a absolut legend ❤
@@soup_soulution3003 where do you go for animation?
@@beahults I got a BA in character animation at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark
Jesus how can one even be so talented at animation. Especially on GODDAMN PAPER! No layering tools, no merging frame aspects, no fancy computer editing. Just pure, unadulterated talent. Absolutely amazing.
You mean skill, right? Please don't devalue all the years of hard work Felix put into his animations by calling it talent.
@@Hitoame113 You the type of person to bite someones head off over pronouncing "PO-TAH-TOH" instead of "PO-TAY-TOH"?
@@Hitoame113 You don't understand what talent is if that's your response.
@@dopaminecloud He probably meant Felix was "gifted" with the certain talent of making such a refined work of art, thus reducing all of the concept of effort, time and skill to produce his work, which would be considered an offense in specific.
@@sirjames6870 no he’s entirely right lol. It takes a shit ton of work to be that good, coming from a current animation major
felix exists on a different plain
settle down ok?
@@fynnli6685 ok?
CZcams is full of underappreciated animators, but this guy is something else. I feel like I've watched Double King and the two music videos for Fever the Ghost and Nitai Hershkovitz a million times at this point. Absolutely sublime.
Felix colgrave is such a lad that he just exists and art grows out of his skin
WHAT
Yep
imagine how long just a single animation took
we consumed seven months of work in 75 seconds 🥺
Imagine how many paper it consume
@@indexwell6546 less than you think. 7 anims 25 frame each..
@@SlayPlenty excluding the failures
@@mudsludge he doesn’t fail
Felix colgrave is the kinda guy that would take cuphead with own style and make it an insane visual masterpiece
A cuphead-like game drawn by colgrave would be amazing
The one at 0:47 is my favorite, not only a fun concept but even the way that the camera is actually getting closer and closer with every shot until he smacks into the frame and it quickly zooms out…Every detail is accounted for!
I’ll never not love his art style and process. Absolutely legendary.
These are the gifs no one asked for...but now we know we needed.
my man felix really out here being one of the most talented animators alive today
Watching at 25% speed really helps one appreciate the art, the movement, and the madness! BRAVO!
The only animator I would feel comfortable letting finish "The Thief and the Cobbler."
You break my mind every day, good sir, in most extraordinary ways. Thank you.
Oh may god I just thought of the exact same thing and I believe it so much
This has to be a thing, dear lord. PERFECT PLAN. Can we get more upvotes on this, please??
@@gruckusgrackus5815 Of course! But I didn't mean it to come across like that. (tl;dr at the end)
I was just complimenting the smoothness that Felix can get with his paper animations, comparing them to a time-honored gem of animation, the Thief and the Cobbler.
It was taken over by a different group of animators part way through its development. As a result, parts of the Miramax release had animation that wasn't up to par with the original work by Richard Williams (same guy who made Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but this was his passion project) and wasn't really "finished" up to par in terms of animation quality.
It's a rare gift to be able to make such complicated paper animation look so smooth. While Disney was making Aladdin on computer, the original work for the Thief was illustrated all on paper (It took over 30 years of grunt-work before the movie saw the light of day! Paper animation is hard!).
tl;dr: Felix has that skill comparable to the old greats of the animation industry, as you can clearly see. If he wanted, he could finish the Thief and the Cobbler just as brilliantly as the original animation (probably even better!), because he has that skill. That's all I was saying.
If you enjoy how great Felix's animation is, I recommend checking out ""The Recobbled Cut" of The Thief and The Cobbler on CZcams. It's chock full of beautifully smooth animation, just like Felix's.
@@gruckusgrackus5815 Why are you a salty killjoy?
The uncannyness of the creatures makes it horrifying yet cute in a demented way
I have been watching this for 15 minutes in slow motion. Now the world will never look the same to me.
The sound design is literally what I would hear inside of my head when looking at looping animations like these
You know its good animation when you want to play it at 0.25 speed to see each frame
Exactly what I did. That one with the series of completely different pictures is a mini work of genius
1:02 the best sleep paralysis demon
0:50 is creepier
@@entityunknown2 true
woooooo wa woh
Psychologist: “what kind of drugs do you use?”
Felix Colgrave: “yes”
He is the drug.
@@tasertag7513 true
The best ones out there
But for real does anyone have a legitimate theory? I assume mescaline shrooms and acid.
rotisserie chicken
There are few animators these days with a style, this gentleman, has it, and you can recognize his art work from others easily. A true artist.
your animation skills are magical, its honestly hard to beleive that such an underrated channel somehow doesn't have at least 10 million subscribers, like you really deserve more popularity.
dude one of his animations became a meme
This is the kind of things the monsters in your nightmares see in their nightmares.
I'd be perfectly fine with my normal dreams looking like this.
They're what Freddy Krueger dreams about
Man I love the way you animate hands, especially from the animation that starts at 0:11.
I swear this is just like a fever dream but I love it
His style hasn’t changed one bit and I’m proud
his early style was markedly different-his current style is more mature now
Yeah good point
@@rin_etoware_2989 still, both are distinctly "Felix Colgrave"
when you're so talented that even goofing off produces better content than anyone else's sincere efforts
Yoou know when youre about to start dreaming and when you focus on what you see in complete darkness and all kinds of stuff appear? This video is exactly what id be seeing
this video is living proof that you don't need 60 fps to make beautiful animations
I’m always astounded by how fluid, squishy, and stretchy, you make everything. Need to get on that in my animations!
The sound effects are the icing on the cake in this one
You did a really good job at capturing the noises that I would hear in my head if these characters had no sound.
Hello Felix. I don’t know how often you read comments, but I just want you to know that watching your animations always brightens my day. Thank you for everything you do!
I absolutely adore how you perfectly captured the sounds your brain makes when you look at a looping movement or animation for too long
This was exactly was I was thinking bro
Its always wonderful to see your work 🤍
Everytime I get recommended this channel (which is every time he posts), I forget who it is, think the art is similar to something I've seen before, and then ALL the trips that he has ever made hit me at once when I see that I'm already subscribed.
Every. Single. Time.
I love it, do it again.
These have so much going on I feel like im staring into a bowl of LSD soup
I LOVE the one of the guy running through the building and squeezing through the window
It takes a lot to creep me out, but that one did the trick. It's still my favorite though.
there's a legend that within 5 multiverses, one of them was inspired by one of felix colgrave's worlds
i want to live there
Not 1 universe in 1 particular multiverse, just the whole damn thing lmao
Still unsettling and dreamlike
Just how I came to love them
I was NOT ready for the creature running through the window loop at 0:47, that is definitely a bad trip at its' peak and it's amazing
Your drawing and animating skills never fail to not scare me.
1:13 minutes of a masterclass that is better than the majority of the animation schools worldwide.
I feel like I should be paying for these works of art
Even without sound I can hear the sounds each one of these creatures would make. I love them
I absolutely adore the sound effects in all of the animations
I love how every sound syncs up with every visible movement in the animation.
This is the coolest thing ever! such a big inspiration, everything in every frame feels alive
the fact that these were made during and possibly delayed throat notes makes me happy, you creativity flowin and you used it when you could.
I absolutely love the way that the funky sounds are assigned to different parts of the animation
This amazing dude inspired me to get back into drawing
I really appreciate all this hardwork put into this
0:12 onward is by far my favorite part of the video because it is the single strangest animation method I’ve ever seen. Who tf starts with the eyes?? It’s amazing.
glad to be early and witnessing this.
god your art is so cool i remember watching your stuff and it intensely inspiring me to go into the animation field (didnt happen) i really truly wish creativity was valued and we saw more intricate and creative animation like yours in the world
I would have never imagined to see such crazy artwork but what I think the sound design makes it at least half times better
Wow, thats Interesting. My brain would have played similar sound effects to yours if you hadn't played them. Happens all the time when I'm watching a short gif
Yes! I was just thinking "these are the exact sounds my brain makes when I watch GIFs", I guess that was the intention.
I genuinely think you are my favorite artist/creator thank you for literal years of entertainment and art
why he so good at this doe
That creature leaving the house loop really hit a home run.
The amount of talent and mostly patience in making this is just- *chef kiss*
Felix’s animations have one of the only styles that I can watch for hours, regardless of the story, and be 100% engaged until the very end; it’s just so wild! There are very few things that do that for me, so stuff like this makes me super happy.
What an amazingly steady hand you have. Holy christ you could do microsurgery.
While causing hallucinations though? lol
The sound effects just makes it better
You are so incredibly skilled. The time and effort put into these is clear.
sometimes im sad that i dont live in the age of artistic masters then i remember FELIX
the sound effects really tie the whole thing together
i just saw this video and realized it was posted on my bday, felix you're so awesome, your animations are what i watch when im feeling down
I love the way they loop so seamlessly.
It’s amazing how well you’ve made these animations loop! Pure talent! ❤️
We know times are hard, I'm an artist myself. We miss you.
Dude even the numbers in the upper left corner ar fancy, Felix, you're just incredible.
So many details i just cant
These are so incredible and unsettling, thank you
This madman saw a bunch of paper and said ''alright I'm making perfectly looped living drawings''
beautiful, as always Felix
Aqui tu comentario español para decir QUE BELLEZA!☕
Así es
Lo mismo digo
Concuerdo
All that fluidity and motion...only 25 frames each. Absolutely wonderful!
The mix of gore art and shape altering is really amazing, the feeling of like a doozing dream or a warping character, reforming and deforming
this dude have MAGIC HANDS!!!
yeah i think it is bc he is sugondese
This is honestly the best animation I've seen and ever will see in my life! Its smooth, creative, and is very wacky in its own way.
Yet, somehow got beaten by a Storytelling Marshmallow Man...
You are a crazy man with weird ideas and your animations doesn't have a context. And that's why i freaking love you!!!
You’re one of my main inspirations, your animations are genuinely incredible. The sound design, music, everything about them are so cool and unique
“Babe, come over.”
Me: Not, now, I’m busy.
“My parents aren’t home.”
Me: 0:47
0:12 Oh so that's how donks was made
Not only do I love the animations, as always, I also really love the sounds on these short peices
Felix has always been a favorite animator of mine and I love his work. Like the peanut gallery says you are talented beyond belief good sir!!
My goodness these are amazing, I admire you're style so much
I am once again in awe of your creativity.
Your abilities are unreal. This is magical!
Your imagination is boundless felix. That is why we love your work.
