Baby's first animation!
Added 2020-02-17 22:47:16 +0000 UTCI had this super talented Girl Scout in the comics workshop I taught last weekend, and she showed me a short animation she made (this is for some meme that I don't get because old, but check out the rest of her work, too, I love her characters!).
I asked her what she used to animate it, she told me about FlipaClip, I realized it was free and downloaded it immediately, and in about 24 hours I made this! Pip really does love to eat butterflies, little jerk.
I started off drawing and re-drawing and re-drawing the same pose for Pip for each frame at first, and it wasn't until he sits there blinking & digesting his fluttery meal that I realized you can copy & paste a frame (you can tell I copied & pasted Pip for that second or two, because his body doesn't move at all).
This was the perfect exercise to indulge in during Art Night because it's a lot of repetition, so I think you'll see more of these in the future. :) Let me know if you have any trouble viewing it, I'm new at this!

awesome! I'll have to check it out. I used to do quite a bit of animation in Flash, but as flash got degraded, I never learned how to use canvas or any of the other new tools.

2020-02-18 05:09:49 +0000 UTCVery cool! A lot of my animation students like FlipaClip, too. They zoom in and out like crazy to get the details, which I have trouble doing myself. My phone animations tend to be blunt-fingered and gestural.

2020-02-18 01:34:01 +0000 UTCSo it IS true. Pip is what he eats...? (Can you imagine what a flying Pip would be like, though? ... ) -j
