"ITHACA SHORES" Robot pilot navigates his inner monsters. Music by Jay. Animation by Patrick Smith.
A musical story featuring sea monsters, robots, and a tiny controller person being pursued by mysterious horned leviathans. Through a sudden and disastrous crash into the ceiling of the sky, he emerges from his imaginary island contraption, clamoring though a shattered hole, and sees the world in a new way, void of the creatures that haunted him. Music by Jay, from the album Concentric for more go to www.jayandmusic.com.
Directors note: In this animation I re-introduced an iconic character I first created for my film "Masks", I see this little pale pulp-like character as a visceral representation of our inner fragility, innocence, and honesty that is slowly buried into our inner core as we proceed through our mature lives. This character is a good storytelling tool as I attempt to illustrate the visual interpretations of our learning, struggles, and suffering.. and sometimes joyful victory over personal strife and confusion. The robot, conversely, is a symbol of lifelessness, of dry utility.. a vehicle. I believe this was the first time I included any type of a non-organic character. I hope you like the film. I can't thank Jay enough for giving me the opportunity to draw this piece, guided by his emotionally charged track of music.
Lyrics:
Ithaca Shores
You think of things that you just don't understand;
You try to grasp but they just fall through like sand.
The bones that built ya feel like they might go
Just pull on the rudder, put to rest your weary load.
You fight the fear, you plow through waves in rows,
You tug your ear as you're looking down below.
The fish swim circles through your outstretched hand
Your eyes feel heavy as you start to dream of land
Oh as you sail out in the snow
The wind is singing low
The tune that you might hum forever
Oh but the cold is creeping slow
And slow it takes a hold
Of your aching heart
You breathe in deep and open up your eyes
The water's peaceful as it just keeps slipping by
You wonder how much time is left to go
The stars on the horizon tell you friend, we'll never know
You hear what must be sirens singing out
The heart is willing but your head is full of doubt.
You drop your anchor and start to dip your toes
The chills might tingle but at least you're not alone.
Oh, but there's still so much to see
You dream of being free
As lovely hands sink you down forever
Oh, as you reach out in the dark
Your fingers find the mark

The person that sang this has serious skill. I’ve had to have drifted off to sleep at least 32 times listening to his smooth voice.
totally agree. Jay is great

Hi
Hello
Lol
You are the best
wait dose this mean that when he went through the roof everything shrank? because before the robot legs were probably really big compared to him but now they are the size of the trunk of the palm tree
I suppose you're right.. good observation!
That dude just went straight to heaven. As he finally defeated his demons, by getting rid of the illusion 😇
yes! well done. thx for comment
انابحبك
This animation is about fears, to overcome them you need to leave your body, free your soul
His greed for higher and higher made the demons around him grow too until he cut the whole thing down and they disappeared too, leaving him all alone. I noticed you don't have as many frames for some of the main character's moves but the poses and timing are correct so it still works.
As always, SO beautiful! The music fits so good in history and style, and had a great metaphor for life At first I thought that's some kind of metaphor about lies. The Robot's simulating a false look about yourself or the lies that make you look different for the others, and the monsters are our consequences or remorse following you, until you decide to face things and they'll disappear
As Someone going through similar situation i can say. Thank you for understanding and expressing it. :)
best animation ever

@@PatrickSmithAnimation You're Welcome!
after i watched this, i can assumed that the little creature is representative of human, the robot is what do you say it.. an environment that keeping you save from outer world, and the monster is a "threat" that visualize in the man itself ( because it's scares the man?), to be simple society. the sky is where the man escape from the "imagination" itself..( which is why he is at adulthood i presumed) that's why after he hits the ceiling (which is conscious from his fear) he changed the point of view what his (past) encountered. and finally he now knows that he is realized he is the only one who can live in society which is.... well maybe you know the answers. I'm just a man after all, who's took a lots of mistakes from his entire life. I'm just sharing what I've seen this short movie though... oh, and also i takes a little "clue" from the creators that have posted beforehand. Nicely done if i have to say. created the short movie and implement the "real" world events in this movie, i think that is the beauty of arts/masterpiece.
Thank you for this very thoughtful and insightful comment.. you really broke it down and interpreted well!
well, who knows what is imagination to tell you about... i think that is a "gift" as an human beings, it seems.. 👍👍 anyways thank for the animation, it help me to think. what "hidden" message inside the animation. you must use your imagination to solve the puzzle inside. still, i was impressed to make me think for a while. Great job
Best as always
Great work, well done
He was alone, im love watching 😱🥺🥺
Brilliant!
thank you, it was magical )))
Thank you too!
good job
Thank you! And thx for taking the time to watch

To be honest I only see this as some years later thing with one of the small people from "Masks" having advanced tech with that mechanical mech getting stranded on an island, and might be going insane while seeing ghost leviathans and looping reality
