Lunar New Year

This is an extended cut of an animation I did for the Mixed.Parts Exquisite Corpse, celebrating the start of the Zodiac Year of the Pig.

‍

Exquisite What?

‍You know, the game where you draw part of a monster then fold the paper over and let your friends complete the drawing? It's like that, but in animation form. Mixed.Parts was an online community of motion designers, and when I saw that this big collaboration was happening I just had to take part. Organiser Lage Lind set out the rules:

- 75 frames (3 seconds) each

- Set colour palette

- You may only see the last 0.5 seconds of the animator’s work before yours

Here's the result:
