- "Thrill Over Fear" - A Flow Mobz, D, AN: John Katehis, ED: Angel Saft GR 20173'31"
There are a lot of perspectives and interpretations to this story, it really depends on how one views it and their intentions or inner self-consciousness plays an important role, that is the story's singularity and what makes it unique. It exercises one's mind, and that is an essential aspect to me and my art, to make people think and question. To me personally, it’s about thrilling over your fears, of a dark journey into the unknown, and shedding light to darkness to reveal truth or revealing one's true colors.

Gastaloops started as a personal project, a marathon that consisted in creating 100 animations in 100 days, with three main colors (white, red and black). A blend of surreal and inventive GIFs that perfectly convey the atypical universe of the Londoner.
At the end of the journey, I choose to use the track Out by the band IISO. It worked seamlessly and perfectly with the juxtaposition of the gifs, with no additional edit.It’s easy when you stand in the middle of war
go home
so dizzy ‘cause you want me to stay so long on our words
you better stay out
you better stay you
feel the way you lose
it’s evil when i feel i’m the leader of my own feelings
i’m evil cause you want me to stay so long on these words.
