I guess none of the videos will give you a good picture of the feelings of those that happen to have their schizophrenia started due to use of trips. (relation not scientifically proven but what I see confirms it)

There are quite a few videos on YouTube (search "trippy videos") that feel "trippy". From what I've heard, some psychedelic artists are just reproducing what they experience when they trip on drugs like LSD.

A few patterns I've noted:

* Other humans/animals looking straight into the camera.
* Looping motion of objects.
* Brilliant colors.

Is there any research into what makes trippy videos trippy? I don't even know if trippiness is supposed to be subjective(in which case, I suppose this question must be closed). Any pointers would be really helpful.
