The Rise of the Instagram animated series?

I first heard about Mass Appeal in ”I don’t know where-land” last week, but I had difficulty coming to grips with the idea…could popular social networking platform Instagram really lead itself as an animated shorts platform? The same thing happened to me with this metal band called DeafHeaven, where I kind of didn’t like the band when I first heard then on the radio say like a month ago, but now I can’t get enough of them. Sometimes, it just takes me a minute to fully grasp what is being presented to me and Mass Appeal did just that for me.

This account already has about 20,000 followers on Instagram and you can see why. Adorned all over the place are animated shorts that are really, really well thought out, comical, and well-drawn. So who animates these shorts? Instagram video mixed with Flash. Yep, sounds redonkulous, but he does so with outstanding results. See for yourself.
