This animation is a total of 876 frames for the short 36 second clip. I accomplished my goal of a 30 second clip, but failed at my attempt to make it in under 8 hours by a long shot.
I've decided to upload the original mp4's to youtube.

I'll be considering this and future "SteemSketch" animations as Public Domain, so if you have a use for them - Go For It! :)
Still trying to hone my skills and I'm going for a bit more ambitious animation for the next one . My goal remains a 30 second clip in under 8 hours.
