You are blessed my friend. I have had an anxiety disorder before we even met in Logan. I still deal with it and panic attacks are more common for me. Your description of how it feels is probably the most creatively accurate way to communicate the sensation "like reality itself is wrong or cracking" "it feels almost like instant death is right behind you." is how I have described it but I like your description more. Your visual interpretation of the experience is also spot on. I love that you ended it on a positive note. Hopeful. Encouraging. WONDERFUL.
TLDR : I don't have panic attacks, but this still made me cry because of similarities in my life. Thank you! I don't know if I have had panic attacks, but I have struggled with bipolar since I was young. Your descriptions of panic attacks are so similar to some of my bipolar episodes.... Especially 'like reality itself is wrong or cracking.' in my episodes of extreme emotions caused by bipolar, my perception of reality is heavily changed... A emotion driven hallucination just like claustrophobia causing rooms to 'shrink', when it's happening I can't tell if what I see or feel is real and it, falls into a self perpetuating emotional cycle until I have no energy left... The worst were the rage cycles... My only memory of those from when I was young are the aftermath which would definitely be cause for the adult protection agency. Even though I will always feel horrible for the things I don't remember doing, I'm glad they never showed up because my mom was always like the angel in this flipbook. With her help I always calmed down, and she is the only one who ever even tried to teach me the methods I now use every day to try and keep myself from another episode.
First off, awesome video concept. This isn’t a flip book, this is a piece of art, it communicates so much emotion and it’s amazing how you managed to do that. Keep up the awesome work :)
@@kay-412 yeah, i see what you’re saying, it’s just this one has a deep, serious message. Even though it’s not all of them (by any means) flip books are stereotypically/usually jokey and cartoony, and this flip book just helps innovate the medium
I so deeply relate to having panic attacks. The randomness is why it's called a panic attack vs an anxiety attack. Anxiety attacks have triggers, where as the panic ones are random and for "no reason". The dedication you went through for this flipbook and the story you shared is all so amazing, thank you. I love your videos
For me, I usually start with an anxiety attack that quickly becomes a panic attack. It’s at that point that all rational thought leaves my brain and I convince myself that I must be on the brink of death
@@Sauce-dc7sf I guess that then depends on your definition of what a panic attack is vs anxiety attack. Anxiety though has a 'reason' for it, even if not logical. There is something that causes anxiety, like for example going to the dentist is anxiety inducing.
I’ve had similar experiences when looking at the vastness of space. It’s disorienting, like gravity no long exists, and you can’t tell up from down: terrifying and awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story. This flip book may be one of your best to date.
WOW! I have this overflowing emotion : that blackest black is so beautiful and scary at the same time - a feeling of uncertainty and emptiness. Your animation brought me to tears as I am the sole survivor in my family. To my mom, dad and brother❤ Thank you for sharing your talent. God bless you ♡
I am so sorry I hope you live the most rich and fulfilling life possible and don’t let what your family did for you go to waste you are awesome and unique. So remember don’t kil yourself. Got it
Such a beautiful and emotional flip book. Using just white was the only choice to convey the feeling. It does make you think how cool neon colors would look on this very black background.
The irony of a stop motion animator saying “it took a lot of time to (prepare the cards)…” made me chuckle. The attention span and focus needed for the work you do is unreal and I am so grateful that you share your work the way you do. Great story concept, with an amazingly simple explanation of this paint! (Also, I had no idea the blackest paint war had a new contender! Or, that Vantablack had a new version that beats Black 3.0. Or that Black 4 was now out and maybe beats Musou. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! 😂)
@@OliverSchlecter oh! Their tagline is “what a time to be alive.” - I’ve been saying that since college in the early 2000s, and have no idea where it originated. Anything surprising was “oh man, what a time to be alive!”
@@apgwoz it's a really interesting channel. He's amazing at breaking down all the latest research papers in tech and AI development so you get to see what the bleeding edge looks like.
This is actually really amazing. The way you captured that feeling so perfectly, in such an artful way is admirable. I expected this to be like the invisible man, but you actually did something with the black paper. Keep up the good work Andy! I always look forward to your videos. Still can’t believe I actually got to speak to you :D -Zoe
Your flip-book concepts are so small and simple physically and yet unbelievably big and complex in the emotions they consistently conjure in one. As I get older, I seem to become increasingly emotional about the important things in life and well up over them in a way that, mostly, I manage to hide. Guess, in your flip-book, it’s the intensity of black, the music and your reliving your childhood emotion that makes its impact particularly profound! Thanks for a beautiful experience.
As someone who started having panic attacks at 9,i understand the feeling of trying to find any explanation for why you feel that why. Surprisingly, for me, the dark and more tight or Confined spaces were actually a comfort for me, it felt like the darkness surrounded me like a blanket, keeping me safe. I love your creations but this one especially was my favorite 😊
The music, art and story reminded me so much of the game Outer Wilds. It also has to do with the vastness and complexity of the universe being out of your control, which makes it just as scary as it is beautiful. The black almost looks like how a neon black should look, if that makes sense. It's almost bright in its blackness.
I was thinking about how the mood of the animation reminded me of Echoes of The Eye. If you've played it, you probably know which moment(s) I'm referring to!
This was so unexpectedly compelling and beautiful. I felt overwhelmingly moved for some reason by the way you depicted the falling stars slowing down and going back to being just stars as the character's panic attack ended... It just struck a chord in me.
I really felt that. I have terrible anxiety and panic attacks. Seeing it visually depicted cuts deep. Feels exactly how it was drawn. This was really good.
Start to finish, this video was amazing. You captured everyone’s attention to watch paint dry??! The end product was gorgeous, both visually and emotionally. Hats off to you man
Hey Andy It's Sofie from Back to the Past! This flipbook was awesome! Honestly it describes how a feel most of the time. Not about the dark. But about people. I have social anxiety... And I had my first panic attack a few days ago And this really shows how that feels.. Love it❤
I watched the whole process and saw the flipbook, but once the stopmotion hit with the music... Gosh the emotion it drew out of me. A very cool interpretation of a panic attack from your childhood. It really hit home for me. Thank you for creating this!
For me, my panic attacks feel like I’m deep under the ocean struggling to hold my breathe and there is an increasing pressure pushing me further and further into the dark void of the ocean. It’s in these moments that I feel as though I am crying out for help but nobody is there to rescue me. Panic attacks are an absolutely dreadful experience and I wish I didn’t have to go through it nor anyone else for that matter. Love the flip book
Everything from the idea, to creation, to execution brilliantly made. Especially the eerie music adds that special cherry on top. Honestly no words to describe the feeling that I get after watching this....
Wowza, this is powerful. But also WOWZA, YOU WORKED ON SOME OF MY FAVORITE FILMS...what are the chances of having this page recommended to me. I JUST went to a Laika exhibit in Seattle, and then seeing this page... Keep up the great work!
Wow! That's a dark story 😧 Thanks for sharing it. I can only imagine how much it will help some people in a similar situation that you are being so open about it. Respect from Denmark.
I cant even begin to believe how good you are at what you are doing, not in a bad way but honestly, you have the best video ideas and the best mind to make you do what you are able to do on this platform and others too. So I'm just thanking you for being part of my current childhood, from the concepts, to the editing , or even just your voice, sometimes, I watch your 2 hours long flipbook fest and they are so fun to watch, you know Andy, you truly are a good dude. And the skill of your flipbook making is not just amazing, it makes me think if I could try this, just grab business cards out of the trash and working with that just sounds like a joyous time to share with people. Sincerely ImpreciseMice ;)
It was beautiful and yes expressed the feeling of powerlessness so accurately. I loved how you ended it. As a painter, I actually have the paint in my shopping cart to buy. Loved it Andy.
Oh My Goodness.!!! Mr Andymation, you have produced one of a kind, in my limited experience. You set a goal, marked out some moments and then proceded to carefully explain why black aint so black but the Musou black is really black. Why it is so, why we can see it, why we cannot see it, why it can be marred, how it operates and so much more. A video with a real thinking, creative brain behind it with the intelligence and craft to explain it to the masses. I'm a science nerd, but you have laid it before me, with no attached ego and that's what makes you the best bloke today. THANK YOU.
Lovely! Everything was perfect... even the perfectionist way you chose to storytell and test musou black. Well... now I can go happily to face the rest of my day. Thanks, Andy 🫂
The in-depth explanation of how mosou black actually works is something I haven't even seen on science channels that play around with it, and I expect them to inform people of how it works. Thank you for providing such a simple and clear explanation on how this paint works, I was always curious about it.
Panic attacks are unfortunately common for me. And I loved how it looked when the stars seemed to rain down from the sky because that's exactly how it feels...like the whole world is falling down around you in a massive cacophony and you feel helpless to stop it. Thank you for sharing your art with us, you truly shine just like a star.
It seems like there's much effort put in this flipbook! The storyline is very emotional and I really enjoyed it. And the color is also very interesting - I've never known that paint can almost ignore light.
You breathed soul into the flip book with that context. The animation was simple, yet very powerful. It almost made me well up when you were flipping those pages 💙🙏 Those of us who have been in such dark places alone at some point in our lives would appreciate how much it means to see even a sliver of light during those times.
Brilliant... i felt your overwhelming anxiety in the moment... and then your blanket of comfort!!! So simple.. so powerful... Brilliant!!! "INSTANT SUB"
All of your flip books are amazing an beautiful works of art but this one was definitely more so. This flip book was much more powerful and emotional, very deserving of the unique paint. I really like the last page too, you finished off extremely strong because the last page looks like a true work of art… a *masterpiece*. Keep up the great work! 👍👌
This reminds me of the Bible verse, “For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.” Psalm 91:11-12 ✨️🩷
🙌 So much fear, all my life, has this Psalm guided me through & cast from fruition before cognitive existence in my very own mind & 💛. Also, @shantin84 you MUST look up & read the King James version of this amazing excerpt; even if KJV isn't "ur thing". Because it hits SO much more epically, in ways you'd be struck speechless by (as if that were possible, as this bit, already SLAYS as is... ✨🌟 😚👌 😮 💪🥹🌟✨
I have loved your videos for years, but never really commented - and I know this video is 4 months old at this point, but I don't know what is exactly was about your flipbook, but I started.. crying during the stop-motion. A piece of art. Wow.
I really, really appreciate the fact that you took the time to explain the paint so well. I understood the idea but I never knew how it worked, like, how it could be darker than the sharpie. You’re amazing at not only art and animation but also explaining, teaching and storytelling 💜💜 keep up the great work
The effect looks so cool like a neon light contrasting in black just.. SHOCKING. But im not suprised if it came from andymation. In a good way! And the music fits perfectly with the video. God is good, and may all your days be blessed.
So, another idea for a musou black flipbook! You showed that if you scratch it, it becomes less dark. Make another musou flipbook, but with the animation scratched in! Then, the ONLY thing in it would be pure, deep, black.
I have anxiety, but its totally normal for people without anxiety to feel anxious and/or panicked, for me, I usually feel anxious at night, similar to your story. It makes me feel better that someone can feel anxious without having anxiety because it makes me feel more understood and that I can feel ok that I'm not alone because while anxiety is common, everyone around me has found ways to cope and everyone still feels fine. I'm glad not that you felt panicked but that it felt relatable and that anyone can have a panick attack. I feel safer.

😎 Very cool! And I’m sorry to hear you’ve experienced panic attacks, glad you haven’t had a lot of them. I used to get them often, now only once in a while. Anyway… Love your flip book and stop motion animation version, too. 😊👍🏻
I had panic attacks all the time as a child. My parents didn’t know how to deal with it.. I think what I needed the entire time was someone like your angel that made me feel safe in a cocoon.
"everything feels wrong, it's as if the fabric of reality has fractured". This is EXACTLY what my panic attacks have felt like. I have been lucky enough to only have a few but I had one a few months ago and the memory is still very clear. This flipbook is so brilliant, thank you for sharing it.
The more you touch the paint, the more you damage the structures of the paint that makes it so black. Its extremely delicate. You dont want to paint anything that you'll touch, compress or lay things on. You cant clear coat it either. Its an incredible paint. Black 4.0 is another version of this paint that absorbs 99.5% of light. A really cool think to do is spray a figure with the paint, then get micro holographic glitter in a little bit of paint thinner and spray that over the figure. The thinner will evaporate and leave the holographic glitter on the black paint. Ot looks absolutely amazing
There are very specific clear coats you can use that do not add much if any gloss, they themselves are not as sturdy as typical clear coats but from there you can then add other things for durability. No matter what way you do it it is obviously super expensive because of how specialized it all is. Anyway there is a video of a guy doing a super cool cosmic paint job on a show car with this black as the black layer and yeah the process used to not make the thing is intense.
@@ShiningDarknes which clear coats? I've been using Culture Hustle's Black line as well as Musou Black for years now and have never heard of a publicly available clear coat. Surrey Nanosystems may have developed a clear coat for Vantablack, but it's not been talked about since they work on government contracts too. That's doubtful as they have their proprietary line of Vantablack that doesn't require a clear coat and is extraordinarily durable without a secondary coating that they use for space and government applications.
@@Jermz1979 my guy the video I watched was like 4-5 years ago so I cannot tell you. I do know it was not something widely available at the time. The guy did a lot of experimenting. I think it came down to doing a shitload of very thin coats as opposed to the normal method of clear coating.
Ooh amazing concept and execution! It's interesting that it seems to have more of a blur to it when flipping than the ones with the usual unpainted paper. I know a printed version would never look the same as the actual black paint, but I hope you sell copies of this, it's probably my favorite flipbook that you've made so far!
This is quite an emotional flipbook. It has a lot of power, but its not even CLOSE to how much power the invisible man sends to me emotionally.
I actually looked it up when I read this completely expecting it to be similar to this one. Damnit, I didn't think I was so gullible.
And the part 2 hits different

This is much more than art, it's perfect human emotion. That was incredibly beautiful.
I've seen a ton of videos about this paint but haven't seen someone go so in depth as to how it works to be the blackest black paint. So fascinating!

and so, the white pencil finally gets a *good* use
It always does because you can make highlights with white
Sketching artists: I use eraser 💀
Painting artists: I use white paint 😭
You can also use the white coloured pencil to blend (while using colouring pencils)
This was so unexpectedly compelling and beautiful. I felt overwhelmingly moved for some reason by the way you depicted the falling stars slowing down and going back to being just stars as the character's panic attack ended... It just struck a chord in me.
This is perhaps the most beautiful piece of animation I have ever seen. So much is conveyed in those brief seconds.
Artists are the most patient people ever
I really felt that. I have terrible anxiety and panic attacks. Seeing it visually depicted cuts deep. Feels exactly how it was drawn. This was really good.
🙏❤️

The way you drew the stars looking like a blur raining all around is how I visualize the feeling I get when a rush of anxiety hits.
4:30 I am literally exiting one, im still shaking, what a coincidence
Sympathies man. They are not fun. ❤️
Hey Andy It's Sofie from Back to the Past! This flipbook was awesome! Honestly it describes how a feel most of the time. Not about the dark. But about people. I have social anxiety... And I had my first panic attack a few days ago And this really shows how that feels.. Love it❤
I watched the whole process and saw the flipbook, but once the stopmotion hit with the music... Gosh the emotion it drew out of me. A very cool interpretation of a panic attack from your childhood. It really hit home for me. Thank you for creating this!
I felt awe. Thank you for sharing your art.
For me, my panic attacks feel like I’m deep under the ocean struggling to hold my breathe and there is an increasing pressure pushing me further and further into the dark void of the ocean. It’s in these moments that I feel as though I am crying out for help but nobody is there to rescue me. Panic attacks are an absolutely dreadful experience and I wish I didn’t have to go through it nor anyone else for that matter. Love the flip book
It's Invisble Man's Nemesis! The Shadow! If it was only black, that is.
Everything from the idea, to creation, to execution brilliantly made. Especially the eerie music adds that special cherry on top. Honestly no words to describe the feeling that I get after watching this....
3:37 the paper was breathing
For real tho…
Beautiful. Absolutley beautiful. Thanks for sharing this inspiring creation!
the story, the art, the music; everything just hit so deep ❤
I really love how you took the effort to show us how the paint works and just how effective it is at absorbing light. I bet it took forever!
How did you trace your drawings if you can't see through the paper anymore because the paint is so black?
Wait.. i Never thought of that
Wait a minute that makes sense
@@KingsleyIII wait
He most likely didn’t trace then..
Well this is a guess but ig the pencil if he used pencil could be seen since it was Gray,but it's only a guess
Wowza, this is powerful. But also WOWZA, YOU WORKED ON SOME OF MY FAVORITE FILMS...what are the chances of having this page recommended to me. I JUST went to a Laika exhibit in Seattle, and then seeing this page...
Keep up the great work!
4:56 I remember when I used to be able to see the stars ❤️
Have you been looking down?
@@RegiArt7 L.A doesn't have any stars because of the bright lights in the sky (I've heard)
I got so emotional watching this. The music played a part too.
Very creative. LOVE IT!
Wow! That's a dark story 😧 Thanks for sharing it. I can only imagine how much it will help some people in a similar situation that you are being so open about it. Respect from Denmark.
I cant even begin to believe how good you are at what you are doing, not in a bad way but honestly, you have the best video ideas and the best mind to make you do what you are able to do on this platform and others too. So I'm just thanking you for being part of my current childhood, from the concepts, to the editing , or even just your voice, sometimes, I watch your 2 hours long flipbook fest and they are so fun to watch, you know Andy, you truly are a good dude. And the skill of your flipbook making is not just amazing, it makes me think if I could try this, just grab business cards out of the trash and working with that just sounds like a joyous time to share with people. Sincerely ImpreciseMice ;)
Woah, i got chills from that 8:49
It was beautiful and yes expressed the feeling of powerlessness so accurately. I loved how you ended it. As a painter, I actually have the paint in my shopping cart to buy. Loved it Andy.
This flip book really touched me. It’s inspired. Thank you.
Love this, the effort into blackening the paper, the story, and the final piece.
Thanks for sharing that moment of vulnerability.
This comment section is just sad, it's filled with angry and trolls talking about racism when bros trying to draw a flipbook in a dark scheme.
True, and it’s also filled with despair and anxiety disorders?! Is this scaring everyone
I mean every comment is emotional- hold up I didn’t even watch the whole video
where are these comments
This was beautiful. I loved both concepts, the black paint and the art/story.
That’s pretty scary that you had a fear of being small and alone
Oh My Goodness.!!! Mr Andymation, you have produced one of a kind, in my limited experience. You set a goal, marked out some moments and then proceded to carefully explain why black aint so black but the Musou black is really black. Why it is so, why we can see it, why we cannot see it, why it can be marred, how it operates and so much more. A video with a real thinking, creative brain behind it with the intelligence and craft to explain it to the masses. I'm a science nerd, but you have laid it before me, with no attached ego and that's what makes you the best bloke today. THANK YOU.
🙏 thank you that means a lot!
What an amazing union of education and artful storytelling. Love it.
Lovely! Everything was perfect... even the perfectionist way you chose to storytell and test musou black. Well... now I can go happily to face the rest of my day. Thanks, Andy 🫂
I didn't know I would learn about muso black in an AndyMation video.
The in-depth explanation of how mosou black actually works is something I haven't even seen on science channels that play around with it, and I expect them to inform people of how it works. Thank you for providing such a simple and clear explanation on how this paint works, I was always curious about it.
7:16 a dog chasing its tail
Panic attacks are unfortunately common for me. And I loved how it looked when the stars seemed to rain down from the sky because that's exactly how it feels...like the whole world is falling down around you in a massive cacophony and you feel helpless to stop it. Thank you for sharing your art with us, you truly shine just like a star.
Thanks for bring back the invisible man 😂 0:15
IVISIBLE MAN 4
It seems like there's much effort put in this flipbook! The storyline is very emotional and I really enjoyed it. And the color is also very interesting - I've never known that paint can almost ignore light.
That paint brighter than my future
Why? Don't be soo despair.
You breathed soul into the flip book with that context. The animation was simple, yet very powerful. It almost made me well up when you were flipping those pages 💙🙏
Those of us who have been in such dark places alone at some point in our lives would appreciate how much it means to see even a sliver of light during those times.
Magic 🎉
[[What is the name of the music of the end?]]

After watching such an emotional flip book, the “For mom and dad” towards the end made me tear up a bit. I’m sure that they’re both soooo proud. 🤍
I don't know why but this video really comforts me, whenever im stressed i would watch this to calm down. Thanks for making this
I would say this flipbook is the most thought provoking one you've made but the Invisible Man trilogy is still better.
Brilliant... i felt your overwhelming anxiety in the moment... and then your blanket of comfort!!! So simple.. so powerful... Brilliant!!!

5:33 Your aunt realizing she had accidentally used cannabutter on your cinnamon toast...
All of your flip books are amazing an beautiful works of art but this one was definitely more so. This flip book was much more powerful and emotional, very deserving of the unique paint. I really like the last page too, you finished off extremely strong because the last page looks like a true work of art… a *masterpiece*. Keep up the great work! 👍👌
This reminds me of the Bible verse, “For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.” Psalm 91:11-12 ✨️🩷
😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
🙌 So much fear, all my life, has this Psalm guided me through & cast from fruition before cognitive existence in my very own mind & 💛.
Also, @shantin84 you MUST look up & read the King James version of this amazing excerpt; even if KJV isn't "ur thing". Because it hits SO much more epically, in ways you'd be struck speechless by (as if that were possible, as this bit, already SLAYS as is...
✨🌟 😚👌 😮 💪🥹🌟✨
Is this a Christian channel or something? Usually, comments like these get memes out of existence.
I have loved your videos for years, but never really commented - and I know this video is 4 months old at this point, but I don't know what is exactly was about your flipbook, but I started.. crying during the stop-motion. A piece of art. Wow.
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely love the animation
Corals under the sun
@@SlimeLagoon thank you so much!
@@ForgottenTypo no problem :D
I really, really appreciate the fact that you took the time to explain the paint so well. I understood the idea but I never knew how it worked, like, how it could be darker than the sharpie. You’re amazing at not only art and animation but also explaining, teaching and storytelling 💜💜 keep up the great work
2:55 *all 210 papers blow away from wind*
The effect looks so cool like a neon light contrasting in black just.. SHOCKING. But im not suprised if it came from andymation. In a good way! And the music fits perfectly with the video. God is good, and may all your days be blessed.
So, another idea for a musou black flipbook! You showed that if you scratch it, it becomes less dark. Make another musou flipbook, but with the animation scratched in! Then, the ONLY thing in it would be pure, deep, black.
Your music selection is *chef’s kiss*
Do you know the name of the music?
I need more lore from ∵🍌e̷̖̿s̸̳̈́c̶̛̲A̴͚̍D̵̚͜V̷͓̈Ǫ̷̚C̵̜̿8̵̱̓
I have anxiety, but its totally normal for people without anxiety to feel anxious and/or panicked, for me, I usually feel anxious at night, similar to your story. It makes me feel better that someone can feel anxious without having anxiety because it makes me feel more understood and that I can feel ok that I'm not alone because while anxiety is common, everyone around me has found ways to cope and everyone still feels fine. I'm glad not that you felt panicked but that it felt relatable and that anyone can have a panick attack. I feel safer.

Such a beautiful piece of art :) Thank you for sharing the story along with it!
I though my screen went off 9:12
What a beautiful flip book…..but even a more beautiful story. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
This flipbook is almost as dark as me .

Such an awesome piece of work and concept! And the emotional factor took this video to another level!! Best piece of work and art!!
1:15 Bro didn't just draw on his computer monitor 🤦🏾♂️😐💀
He probably used like a clear white board or something like that
He probably had a sheet of glass
😎 Very cool! And I’m sorry to hear you’ve experienced panic attacks, glad you haven’t had a lot of them. I used to get them often, now only once in a while. Anyway… Love your flip book and stop motion animation version, too. 😊👍🏻
Flip book racism is real guys😂
I had panic attacks all the time as a child. My parents didn’t know how to deal with it.. I think what I needed the entire time was someone like your angel that made me feel safe in a cocoon.
*Remember me? Petition for getting pinned pls*
I got chills. This is the most beautiful flipbook I have ever seen
"everything feels wrong, it's as if the fabric of reality has fractured". This is EXACTLY what my panic attacks have felt like. I have been lucky enough to only have a few but I had one a few months ago and the memory is still very clear. This flipbook is so brilliant, thank you for sharing it.
The more you touch the paint, the more you damage the structures of the paint that makes it so black. Its extremely delicate. You dont want to paint anything that you'll touch, compress or lay things on. You cant clear coat it either. Its an incredible paint. Black 4.0 is another version of this paint that absorbs 99.5% of light.
A really cool think to do is spray a figure with the paint, then get micro holographic glitter in a little bit of paint thinner and spray that over the figure. The thinner will evaporate and leave the holographic glitter on the black paint. Ot looks absolutely amazing
There are very specific clear coats you can use that do not add much if any gloss, they themselves are not as sturdy as typical clear coats but from there you can then add other things for durability. No matter what way you do it it is obviously super expensive because of how specialized it all is.
Anyway there is a video of a guy doing a super cool cosmic paint job on a show car with this black as the black layer and yeah the process used to not make the thing is intense.
@@ShiningDarknes which clear coats? I've been using Culture Hustle's Black line as well as Musou Black for years now and have never heard of a publicly available clear coat. Surrey Nanosystems may have developed a clear coat for Vantablack, but it's not been talked about since they work on government contracts too. That's doubtful as they have their proprietary line of Vantablack that doesn't require a clear coat and is extraordinarily durable without a secondary coating that they use for space and government applications.
@@Jermz1979 my guy the video I watched was like 4-5 years ago so I cannot tell you. I do know it was not something widely available at the time. The guy did a lot of experimenting. I think it came down to doing a shitload of very thin coats as opposed to the normal method of clear coating.
this flipbook made me cry, it is so beautiful. thank you for sharing ❤
Sometimes when we’re going through so much, and the presence of one friend that saves us.
Thanks, just wanna say thanks!
U r the best flip book artist I have ever met.
This video has truly a lot of meaning and emotions…
Ooh amazing concept and execution! It's interesting that it seems to have more of a blur to it when flipping than the ones with the usual unpainted paper. I know a printed version would never look the same as the actual black paint, but I hope you sell copies of this, it's probably my favorite flipbook that you've made so far!
Wow, this truly is an emotional piece of art. Thank you for sharing.
