Spirograph 2

Inspired by Caleb Ogg.

Dang, the file size of this was getting huge! Could only make it one loop long to keep it under the 15MB instagram limit. The GIF version of this was 16MB just for one loop! (FYI, GIF size limit on tumblr is 5MB) This is probably because a lot of pixels need to change colors every frame. Most of my animations have big shapes of color whereas this has a lot of little line detail. It also suffered quality loss upon turning into a MP4.

Another thing to note is that I think I accidentally matched up the frame rate with the frequency of the spiral so each blob looks like a solid object with curved lines on its surface rather than the spirals moving down the blob like in my previous spirograph animation. Oops!
