Cyriak Harris

Cyriak is an animator best known for creating very strange, often creepy animations out of captured footage or photos. Most of his animations use very dark themes, or at least to the point where things mutate and get a bit mental.

I really like Cyriak's animation because of some of the trippy effects he can pull off with the most unlikely source materials, such as the video below, of a lamb trotting through a field, but what he does to it gives a huge array weird and wonderful creatures created from just one source clip. While I don't know how exactly he creates these animations, it is something I would like to learn, as the editing techniques alone could be fun to try out, though I do know it takes a long while to produce.

Another one of my favourite by him is an animation called 'Walks of Life', and features a finger worm at the beginning, that soon turns into all sorts of creatures imitating dinosaurs and even people. The main portion of the animation is suppose to show evolution in a way, but with the usual Cyriak twist on it. 

All in all, Cyriak is one of my favourite animators at the moment, as his work is something truly unique that manages to be nice to look at, and at the same time be horrifying. (Also, BeastEnders, a parody of Eastenders deserves a mention just because of how ridiculous it is).
