David O'Reilly


This guy is absolutely outrageous, his films are so cleverly detailed, featuring psychedelic visuals packed with symbols of popular culture (especially animation: Japanese Manga, Disney, 3D software, computer games), and ridiculous soundscapes. The way he references and combines such seemingly recognisable styles and images into a wacky mash-up universe of his own is incredibly effective and challenging, taking your brain on a stimulating trip.

His latest piece, Story of Genki??? has a swooping structure, showing the creation and evolution of a fantastical super being and its rapid journey, all in just 57 seconds:



Story of Genki???


His 2D creations are also very intense:
