Never heard of it. Guess more... research is needed.

I linked the deep dive and the channel's page. it's super interesting. I love the style, the layers, the story, all of it. I've never seen anything like it.

Bookmarked for watching tomorrow -- when I won't annoy anyone...

Let me know what you think of it!

It's weird stuff. The animation reminds me a little of the Fred on Channel One segment of Captain Kangaroo back in the 1960s. Fred was a blobby sort of character who moved on a screen. Decades before CGI, Fred used a technology called Aniforms developed by cartoonist, puppeteer and TV and radio host Hank Stohl.

The stories are... mostly bizarre. The seem to take over my attention for a few minutes, and when their over they leave me feeling a little lost and empty -- like the characters, I guess. I think most casual viewers will relate with Gideon, but the Deep Dive shows that he was actually one of the oppressors. Elon and Naarah are the spirits of witches. Elon apparently assumed the shape of a cat familiar after being burned at the stake and her ashes confined to a jar.. Naarah is sort of a watery blob, appropriate as she was drowned on the ducking stool.

Creepy, weird and fascinating.

It's nothing I ever expected to come across on youtube, that's for sure. oh wow, I've not thought of Captain Kangaroo in ages. I looked up Fred, and despite your explanation, I have no idea how they managed that. You can clearly see he's being puppet animated, not drawn, though.

Fred ran on a sort of screen, but he was essentially a bunraku puppet, with sticks controlling various parts pf the figure. Morey Bunin was the actual artist credited with creating the medium. He developed the process for a show called Barney’s Army; great article here. It explains the concept as well as anything I've seen in my research. If you're really hooked, here's the patent!

I love puppets, and I feel like the move to CG has cost us a lot in the warmth and personality of non-human characters on TV. This is amazing. I love it so much! Thank you for sharing it with me!

N.P. I love doing research, and this thing has fascinated me for fifty-five years (yeah, I'm old). It's always a good thing to get folks interested in older arts; the roots of digital art are in ideas like this.

I don't think people a few years older than me are old. And I love researching stuff like this too. It's a habit of mine to deep dive as soon as something new catches my eye.

It not October but it feels like spooky time!! But really love dark colors and everything.

It's a spooky series, and weirdly sad. ...also, this is the first year in a long time, that I didn't decorate my place for Halloween in July. I liked getting in the spirit early, so I could make a push to sell Halloween pieces when the time came.

Never too early to get spooky! With your art I bet u make amazing holloween art

I need to get back into it. I love it.

It’s always fun. And u can do so much

A dude by the name of Night Mind almost managed to get me to watch Catghost. Your art is making it stand out right now.

I linked his video in the description, because it's so useful for understanding the series. I think he's how I found it, too.
