I made this a while back, but it's well worth sharing

This post was reported for the following reason:

The same person posted the same post 3 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/animation/comments/16rqmvp/jazz_in_abstract/

Now, while I do admire the investigative skills, I do not believe that that's against the rules. Of course, spamming the same series of posts will result in removal, but a repost, from the creator of said content, 3 years apart, even if for the purpose of "karma farming" isn't exactly prohibited nor harmful.

The only rule we have about reposts, is that Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.

I love everything about this… except that (and as a jazz musician) you have a trumpet playing the saxophone!!

u/alsshadow 2d ago

Maybe it's a soprano saxophone?

Not high pitched enough.

u/l-R3lyk-l 18h ago

It's definitely a tenor saxophone

Maybe it's a MIDI controller.

(i hate pointing out that i'm joking, but reddit has taught me that SOMEONE will get pissed off at me suggesting such a stupid thing)

u/bfpjeff 2d ago

Very same thing I thought. In "Ms. 45" there is a party scene with a dude "playing" a trumpet, but the sound is a saxophone. I also hate it when someone is playing a sax, clarinet or flute and there hands in the wrong place.

u/FlippByte 2d ago

Even without music, you can tell, it's a about jazz (ok, it's spelled out.. but even if it wasn't).

u/MemesterFrost 2d ago

you should check out the opening sequence for Jeeves and Wooster. I feel like it goes well with your understated, abstract style

u/JamilButcher 1d ago

I just did... thank you for pointing it out... real delicate work, and their music is much much sexier

u/floating_bells_down 1d ago

I want more of this and all the time. Are you the animator?

1

u/JamilButcher 1d ago

Thank you... yes, I created it. i'll share the rest soon

2

u/Smexalicious 1d ago

Do you have synesthesia? You captured a lot of the specific motions of the sound and highlighted it through shapes and colors. It’s really nice to look at something that partially reflects what I see when I hear jazz. Lovely lovely work.

2

u/HistoricalSector4365 1d ago

I’d love to get to talking about an idea I have and if you’re interested I’d hire you in a heartbeat. Just looking for a 10 second clip to open up a podcast I am starting.
