Lemon Demon, also known as Trapezoid, Deporitaz and NeilCicierega is a minor Internets celebrity, flash artist, musician and SA goon.
Neil is best known for the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, and the fact that he recorded 4 albums without receiving much attention and then getting famous on the Internets (even the gay ones) because of the Ultimate Showdown.
Neil had to change the name because some fags had called their band Trapezoid before he did, but because he already had given up Trapezoid when they told him, he just used an anagram of the former name.
NeilCicierega is the creator of an original genre of Flash animation, which is widely known as "Animutation".
Cicierega's last Animutation, Wizard Power, was released in April 2003, whereupon he began another, but never finished it due to a lack of inspiration and an increasing interest in other types of projects.
Neil made an audio track for a third episode, originally planned to be released as the second, though he realized animating it would be too difficult, and made "Trouble At Hogwarts" instead.
NeilCicierega is an up-and-coming musician and filmmaker who's best known for his work in Flash animation.
In 2001, Cicierega's short cartoons generated so much buzz that he was featured on Salon.com and one news article described the 14-year-old home-schooled computer whiz as ``one of the hottest...
Much of the attention on Cicierega's virtual one-man band comes from the popularity of his song, ``The Ultimate Showdown." It serves as the soundtrack to ``The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny," a short Flash animated movie that depicts a gory battle between pop culture icons.
Animutations are believed to be a new type of weapon of mass destruction originally invented by NeilCicierega.
Surreal imagery is combined with foreign music to bypass the frontal lobes and hippocampus and directly stimulate the brain stem, usually inducing a comatose stupor and/or delusions of nirvana, while implanting subliminal messages through the cleverly manipulated subtitles.
While the subliminal techniques are almost perfect, Cicierega makes one major mistake, being that he demands 151 dollars ($847.11) from each viewer.
Neil: She and a couple of her friends had been drawing little doodles of Harry Potter characters as puppets.
Neil: That would be fun, though if I were in charge I wouldn't be able to keep myself from making it as demented as my animations.
Neil: Oh, no. Though sometimes in situations where I'm around other Harry Potter fans, my friends are eager to mention that I made the animations, which results in me having to do the voices for people.
Salon crowned Cicierega a new teen Web celeb ("All Hail NeilCicierega"), while others paid him the ultimate compliment of imitation in the form of "fanimutation" -- zippy little pieces of animated funny in the style of NeilCicierega.
NeilCicierega posted Falcon's pieces on his high-traffic Web site "Animutation Central," helping launch them into cubicles and chat rooms everywhere.
NeilCicierega'sanimutations and the fanimutations they've inspired can currently be found at www.home.adelphia.net/~trapezoid/.
It is what Emmy Cicierega calls “very much a parody” and Alora Lanzillotta describes as “an insane puppet show”: a two-minute video in which Harry Potter characters sing-song their names before Lord Voldemort blows them up with a pipe bomb.
Neil voices the puppets, while Emmy and Alora serve as the puppeteers.
Their other videos have plots, but the award-winner “was literally just the most ridiculous little song, where the characters were just singing their own names,” Neil added.
Animutation is a style of animation invented by NeilCicierega at age 13.
Other animations by other authors adapting Neil'sAnimutation style were originally called Fanimutations, as they served as a tribute to Neil'sAnimutations, and were created by fans of Neil's work.
Colin Mochrie is a staple of the Animutation style, as his image appears in various Animutations and Fanimutations as a running gag and as remembrance to the original Animutations.
Deporitaz (formerly “Trapezoid”) was NeilCicierega’s musical project preceding “Lemon Demon”.
Shortly after Neil abandoned the “Trapezoid” moniker and moved on to “Lemon Demon”, he was contacted by a previously established band by the name of “Trapezoid”, who asked him to change the name, despite Neil’s “Trapezoid” being defunct.
Neil complied, and his “Trapezoid” is now known by the anagram Deporitaz.
NeilCicierega, AKA Trapezoid, AKA Lemon Demon, is the man, pure and simple.
A home-schooled teenager from Massachussetts, his surplus of spare time led him to invent the animutation, and thus change the course of Internet history forever.
