A series of 3 animated GIFs based on the song Mad World by Gary Jules. This was done for a college assignment to create Spotify canvas animations. The song is about a depressed person who feels out of place in a world that continuously moves forward.
The first GIF is an illustration of the lyrics:
When people run in circles it’s a very, very mad world
It shows the world turning around endlessly.
The second GIF is of a character drifting nowhere, showing that feeling of disconnection from the world based on the lyrics:
Going nowhere, going nowhere
The last GIF is based on the lyric
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces
It relays the feeling of watching the repetitive daily life go by as you do nothing new.
