Exploring the fluid possibilities within one grainy gradient, mellllllllt is a series of hypnotic animations that dive into surreal distortion and melting visuals. The project started as a simple experiment: using Photoshop and After Effects, a trippy, grainy gradient with vibrant green, gray, and black tones was crafted, with each animation pushing the boundaries of this base image.
The series plays with transitions from fluid, organic morphing to pixelated and angular distortions. Some pieces echo vintage arcade aesthetics, pixelating into kaleidoscopic patterns, while others fracture like glass or warp into smooth, surreal blobs. Each animation has a unique textural style—whether gooey, controlled, or kaleidoscopic—making every iteration feel like a new dimension of the same color palette. The project title, mellllllllt, references the distorted "melt" text that anchors one of the animations, visually stretched and fluid, underscoring the piece’s dreamy, melting energy.
Vibrant and grunge-like, these animations have a calm yet surreal quality and can be viewed on Instagram at @zedzara_.
