GUYS GUYS so there' this one really good flipbook animation and the title was in all capitals but I can't remember the name but it was like stupidly insanely good it started with a guy slowly turning to look at the camera and he looked pissed please tell me someone knows what it's called plsplspls
A WIP flipbook animation of a scene from one of my D&D campaigns. This is the first thing I've ever animated, done over 3 days back in early December. It needs some tweaking, but I still think it rocks. It's a freezeframe so I could start with something small and work up to full movement.
Done using the Andymations flipbook kit. I dream of making an animated film just like they did in the old days using paper, pencil, ink, paint, and cells, but this will have to do for now.
This is just one of four hallucinated mutations that will surround this pose. I plan to add in two around this and one overlaid, and some more dynamic shots surrounding it (so you can see who's seeing things and have some emotional resolution)- I just had to pause progress because of finals and haven't yet got around back to it. But I have a history degree now, so that's fun!
This particular horror is inspired by the film When the Wind Blows, which influenced the clay-like bubbling and expression, and the anomaly in the series Arcane, which influenced the stretchy distortion. I recommend the latter, I cannot in good conscience inflict another with such great agony by recommending the first.
Here's some still frames and two of the other horrors to come:
The others are inspired by Jacob Geller's video essay Fear of Cold (who's videos are incredible by the way) and in thus that shot in the Shining, and though not seen here- the artworks of Ivan Seal (yes, I mean those ones. Don't make me think about it).
The character is Atlas and belongs to @allymaddness101
Starting with Introducing the Medieval Dragon by Thomas Honegger, which I illustrated, University of Wales Press have published more books in the series, introducing medieval asses, swans and foxes.
For each, I created a flipbook animation of a moving animal that is included in the book. I love that they’re keeping this tradition, and look forward to the next installment in the series.
I watched Miley Cyrus’s @vmas video and was OBSESSED with the song and the performance. So many amazing cinematic shots so thought I’d recreate it in a flip book! Over 100 hand drawn and painted frames over 2 evenings.
Really wanted to experiment with different techniques such as zooming, scene changes and backgrounds so this was a great learning project!
