Cycling on the Edge

About This Movie

Cycling on the Edge is this wild little surreal animation short by Gabriel Reyes that takes you on a ride through a dreamscape that feels both disorienting and fascinating. The pacing is kind of erratic, mimicking the chaotic nature of cycling itself, with visuals that distort reality in a way that makes you question what’s happening. The practical effects, if you can call them that, create a tactile sense that’s quite engaging. The themes of exploration and the unknown are woven throughout, giving it a layered depth. The animation style is really distinctive—almost like a blend of traditional and digital, which adds to that surreal vibe. It’s just one of those pieces that sticks with you, lingering long after the credits roll.
