This gif was my entry for a uni-run competition to make a 5-frame animation for an upcoming animation conference. The theme was The Animation Machine. Rather than do something completely literal, I wanted to channel old-school animation, so I’ve smooshed together Fleischer Bros with 90’s Nickelodeon. It was quite a challenge cramming anticipation and fluid motion into 5 frames, I can tell you!
My entry WON(!), which means it’ll be made into a lenticular card for the conference. I had this in mind when animating, so the 5 frames are designed to go back and forth, rather than loop.
I’ll show you guys the postcards when I get my little hands on ‘em!
