"DRINK" A film about multiple identities. Animated by Patrick Smith
A young man takes a sip of a mysterious green liquid, which causes a reaction that allows him to discover a universe of personalities, all dwelling within himself. A second sip releases another torrent, more drastic than the first, but this time in reverse order. We are left with the exhausted host, the personalities now all dormant. As he stumbles away, the triggering liquid gives off a few extra carbonated bubbles, until another semi-unwilling host approaches. This film is the first time was meet this blonde haired kid, who also appeared in "Puppet" several years later.
Director Notes:
Created to illustrate a variety of multiple personas that can inhabit the individual, many of the characters are drawn from my personal life experience, and are perhaps a bit cryptic. This was the first film I ever made, and it can be difficult to digest decades later.. both in content and technical execution. I created this film while working at MTV, after hours and in the mornings while directing "Daria" and "Downtown" during the day. I remember the time well, waking up at 6am to get a few hours of work in before heading off to MTV. Those were awesome days in New York City, one of the best era's of my career. The production was halted 3/4 way in, when I decided to travel to Indonesia for several months. When I got back I added a few additional characters including the Balinese "Kecak" dancer. I finally completed this in 2000, to a modest festival reception. It did, however, get shortlisted for an Oscar, after qualifying via "Spike and Mike's Festival of Twisted Animation", who had purchased the film. I owe Spike a debt of gratitude to this day for believing in me and promoting this film. "Drink" was quickly followed up with "Delivery", "Handshake", "Puppet" and a few other hand drawn films, all done with a pencil on paper. My last film to be done with way was "Masks" in 2011. Currently, I work exclusively on the Wacom Cintiq.. I do miss paper though. Perhaps some day I'll go back.

Rather than any kind of deeper meaning, I think someone just spiked the drink.
lesson of the video "don't drink beers made for demons"
@@treflecrystal so just don't drink beer
What kind of drug is that?!
@@joseberger7737ⓘⓓⓚ
Always amazed at the character transitions every time I’ve watched this
Someone: *Makes a vid* "Early" and "first" people: *Let us introduce ourselves*
You know? I just realized something today The more skilled of an artist you are (animation or otherwise) The more appreciation and love you can give to masterpieces like this Because when an animator looks at another animators animation you could see and feel all the effort and love they put in to their hobby or their passion And that Is admirable in its own right Thank you And have a nice day
Also Lesson learned Dont watch trippy animations while on L,S,D lol
that's a really interesting thought. thx for awesome comment!
Wow…
Hi
@@noobieeezdwm3621 Bonjour
who else just watched this video and is now obessed with this channel
*looks at flesh tower* “So that’s what they mean by “man made”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Genius
Eyy
That was satisfyng AND creepy, AND i like it. ;)
I love these kind of vids they are just weird and twisted and like perfect to watch before going to bed ;)
Perfect alternative to drugs
@James Holman ehh iam to messed up I like these kind of vids calms me down from my anxiety ✌️✌️✌️
Finale someine untherstend me 😂😂😎
@@giselgalindosauseda3627 yes someone who is like me 😂
Same they just weird and I like it
If this was a SCP It would be called forever opening mouths
The Drink. Paradox
SCP-AWD Object class: keter Description: SCP-AWD is a normal Looking Glass to pour liquids however though the liquid is a mysterious green liquid if the subject were to drink this liquid a hand will burst through their mouth ripping open their jaw the person who came out of the subjects mouth will be extremely confused until the process will begin repeat what's the different types of people getting extremely confused on why they're even there until the cycle and when the subject who ranked the liquid will burst out on the top finishing the flesh Tower
Very creative xD
I think the liquid and scp 4885 bff :d
SCP-7729 THE DRINK
I just found this channel randomly and became obsessed
I just love your animations they give me a weird yet discovering vibe.
I see the lines! And wow. All the work put into it, too How they all blend in and stuff. And still from the original to the re-mastered version - that's one heck of a hangover!!
Him:Sees random and mysterious drink Also him:yes let’s drink this
I wonder if you do a Drink Pt. 2 with the girl? Or do one similar to when a woman worries about her looks 'til she realizes she's already beautiful from within ("Beauty is in the eye of the beholder")
good idea!
Superb. The animation is phenomenal. The sound quality is excellent. Thank you for this. To me, this is what art and animation looks like. Thought provoking too. Good job. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
my take on this is that that green liquid is some sorta alcohol and you can see it could be that because he was stumbling away at the end of it, alcohol can make you see weird stuff and he was just "trying it" like most kids do when they are able but then after he drank it all of his problems kept gathering around him so he drank more, sounds like an alcohol addiction, and the bright lights in the background show that he could just he hallucinating. and all the people coming out of eachothers mouths could be bossy people in daily life, the guy with the gun looked strangely like the blond guy except brown hair so could that be his brother who turned to crime?
Hard to say without watching side-by-side. But this version is nice. How long was the original character list and how did you land on the list you did? Bravo on completing a remaster. I can't even finish a project the FIRST time!! X-D
I think there's about 10-15 characters.. each character represents a portion of my personality or experience. the major difference with the re-master is resolution and audio quality. I would love to totally re-do this film, but prob will never find the time. thx for your comment and support yo!
@@PatrickSmithAnimation yo dude, this music is sick. What is is called?
Me: saw this video in my youtube recommendation Also me: trying to figuring something out of this video My brian: sorry men im in vacation
Kinda seems like when the drinker came to at the top, "sorry men, im in vacation" was part of that process.
Wow this is trippy! 😵😵😵
Guy:Get out of my mouth human: no I’m inside of you :)
As a certified doctor, I can definitively say: _that’s not normal get that checked out_
Feels like A kid watching a show about multiple people in one road

That was one hell of a trip.
Just amazing. Man....

I just stumbled upon the animations in Blank on Blank and I just realised you animate them! That's so cool! It's a shame they don't make anymore of those interview videos... Any idea why?
aw i miss doing those! but we make like 100 episodes, and PBS canceled the series.. i guess it was too expensive and it had run it's course.
Remember kids. Don't leave your drinks unattended.
2:21 Aah... here we go again
Now that we're aware of each other as a plural system this takes on a whole new meaning, showing the ways in which people who share a body can be so different, and at the same time, this feels like it explores the idea of how people as a whole are interconnected in society. from the plural perspective, this shows the many conflicts between head mates, such as the person who feels they need to steal to survive and the police, or 1 person firing a gun, and the way fronting can cause harm to who was previously in front if not warned, as they are usually unable to stay conscious at the same time. sadly it seems this person suppressed the knowledge of their system to survive in a society that medicalises and harms us, or possibly based on discovery and suppression being the same substance this could be a psychologist discovering this and forcing integration. This would make sense with how exhausted and empty they look at the end. The next person walking up could be the cycle of people being brought into a medical system that seeks to normalize rather than make healthy based on personal autonomy.
Wow! Very articulate explanation/interpretation! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and write this!
I see this too
epic👏👏👏👏
It’s just an infinite loop, great

Can you make another video of this? But this time. It will be the FEMALE who sips at the mysterious green liquid?
And this is why you don't leave your reality-warping drinks out, parents
Unless this is the outcome you were hoping for.
