So Ive just been re-realising how much FUN animation is! I havn't really done it since I was a kid and its been great fun playing with my friends iPad. Drawing directly on to a screen is where its at right?
One really fun thing you can do ( Im using a program called Animation Desk - the free version ) is record a video straight in to the program and then draw over the frames....TOO MUCH FUN!!!!
So I filmed 
And over this track I spliced my little animation, many times, forwards,backwards, repeating, jumping until I had formed a satisfying little narrative: CHECK IT OUT:
Now I know its got some very repetitive areas, but that is ACTUALLY how I wanted it, it just felt right at the time, so Deal with it (I just hope you rode it out until the payoff at the end! :D ) Somehow it feels like it captures an essence of lifes biazarre repetitive nature and also that burning desire just to BREAK OUT of your cycles and let loose - hopefully not with any murderous results....
So there we go, animation is fun, I will be indulging in some more of this sort of thing and hopefully sharing some silly little bits of nonsense with you all.
Now here is a picture of an op1:
go check them out on youtube, its really cool what you can do with them, but they are very expensive : (
