You know when you have a video loop, but to make it loop something disappears in an improbable manner?

And you think, that's a shame, because I really like this little clip.

And you could crop it so, for example, a bird doesn't disappear in mid-flight, but then it looks unbalanced so you need to find some unobtrusive way for the bird to disappear so it appears natural?

Yeah. That.

I think I need a quiet lie down.

#seascape #video #loop #animation #bird #silly #drawing #SillyScribbles

A short video loop of the sea splashing up some rocks. In the foreground there is long grass. On the left the cliffs of the headland. A gull flies in from the right hand side most of the way across the image. At that point the cliff, which has cartoon eyes and a slither of a mouth drawn on, opens its mouth wide, flipping the clifftop up, and eating the bird. Because why else would it disappear at that point? It made no sense.

Here's an animation of a small green sport utility truck traversing the turning, ever-changing Rubik's cube street scene.

This is probably the final full animation I'm doing with this scene. I've enjoyed this series a lot!

Thanks once more to @stublag for the awesome concept drawing that kicked this thing off.

A small green utility truck drives over the surface of a Rubik's cube street scene. The cube spins to follow the truck, and segments of the cube shift ahead to make sure the truck has a road to drive on. The scene transitions from day to night and back again as the video loop plays.

WE MADE IT TO A YEAR!!!

Every Friday for the last 52 weeks I have added a new dancer to the canvas. I now claim my crown as Queen of Pointless Projects & hope that you all have a splendid weekend, if you possibly can 👑

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 52 simple figures each doing their own dance move. The main body of the screen is teal, with a cloud framing the top and across the bottom. 49 dancers are on the top cloud, quite small, doing their thing. The new dancer for this week is larger, and centre stage on the cloud at the bottom, with a dancer either side for company.

I bet a few of you don’t know that I made a short sci-fi film!

It’s about six minutes long and follows Kes, a cyberpunk cyborg, and her best friend, Rover, a robotic puppy car!!

Here's another animation of the Rubik's traffic cube, this time with a little more motion and a lot more action! 😄

(Hopefully you aren't sick of seeing these in your timeline!)

Created and rendered in Blender 4 with Cycles. All the materials are procedural, and I used Geometry Nodes for the grass, pine trees, and smoke ring.

Based on an illustration by @stublag

#blender #blender3d #b3d #3d #render #cycles #animation #rubiks #rubikscube #traffic #art #loop #perfectloop #mastoart #fediart

A 3D render of a Rubik's Cube where the pieces are all roads, subway, and grassy parks. Small vehicles populate some parts of the roads, and you can see the cross-section of dirt and rock on the edges of some pieces. The camera circles around the cube slowly and accelerates to show the lighter side and darker side. Various little animations happen as the animation progresses, with cars moving, lights flashing, and more. One segment of the cube rotates back and forth on its central pivot.

One of my favorite Instagram accounts is that of Japanese artist Shinrashinge. (I really wish he was here, but alas, no.)

He makes the most fascinating paper-based anime creations. Mediums include frames, cups, plates, and more. They’re so delightful.

And it's in 60fps now. 😎

All done! Took 90 minutes to render, on the dot.

I sorta want to make a 60fps version, maybe at half speed. But that would mean 4x the frames as this one, and I'm not ready to devote 6 hours of render time to this.

Not bad for a half-day's work! 😎

A 3D animation of a curving hallway that undulates back and forth as the view pushes through it. On the right, the hallway is lined with a series of windows and paintings, and on the left, a door to another hallway and a small table with a lamp and books on top. The hallway is adorned with a lot of wood paneling and wallpaper, and a colorful rug extends into its infinite, hazy depths.

Oh, I nearly missed that it is the autumn equinox. Have a serene celebratory conker.

#autumn #autumnEquinox #conker #trees #photography #nature #animation

A conker with large googly eyes and a smiling mouth, has arms stretched up holding on to an autumn leaf like a parachute. It is swaying left and right as it floats down past never ending autumn leaves, blurred, in the background. It is very serene, and a little bit cute.

Blu Tack Beetles retrieve the bits you 'lose' and return them to the Blu Tack factory, where they squish them all together, roll them out flat, and sell them back to you cos you 'ran out'.

Then they laugh their capitalist little wing cases off at you.

*It's said that if you were to accidentally stand on one, your posters would forever fall off the wall.

Looping animation showing two small mechanical dung beetles. One opens its wing case to reveal drone-like rotor blades and flies off. The other rolls a ball of Blu Tack across the screen.

Thirty-seven weeks ago I posted a wee dancer on a sparkly rainbow.

Thirty-six weeks ago I added a second dancer & commented "Current plan, add a dancer every Friday until I run out of space."

I VERY OBVIOUSLY ran out of space many weeks ago & should move on but now I really want to reach a year.

I need to start thinking about a replacement tho' or I will be stuck trying to fit dance steps into a 60 frame loop forever.

TL;DR I am a fool.

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Drawn animation loop with 37 simple drawn figures each doing a difference dance move on clouds against a teal backdrop. Some dances are quite good. Others are not. The new dancer for this week is larger on screen, on a central cloud with a rainbow appearing and disappearing behind them, sparkling as it goes. The other 36 dancers are smaller, on one of 5 other clouds.

Here are two that I made into a rock band in the dim and distant past.

They both have human smiles, and eyes, and a faded anarchy symbol on their white front feathers. The one on the left plays a big rock drum kit with RAWK HOPPERS written on the front. The one on the right plays a red electric guitar.

It's looking like an inglorious end for the "Coyote Vs. Acme" movie, a live-action/animated hybrid that is already complete and performed well with test audiences, but may soon be deleted without release. TheWrap breaks down the last-minute efforts to save the Will Forte vehicle (the Feb. 23 earnings call for Warner Bros. Discovery is a key date) and why they're likely to be unsuccessful.

Mazeon’s animated pixel tribute to the Commodore Amiga 500.

The Amiga was a revolutionary computer in the 1980s and early 1990s, spawning many software devs, music composers and graphic artists (including myself).

The screen shows a low-res version of the legendary Boing Ball, an early demonstration showing off some of the Amiga’s multitasking power.

So I looked out the window and thought, bright moon tonight. Then realised it's a new moon, so hadn't risen yet.

The brightest aurora I've seen for a long time (the very bright one recently was obscured by cloud). Easily visible to the naked eye, and brighter than any I have photographed before, so much that I reduced exposure from 15seconds back down to 10, and it's still quite bright (iso2500).

Moving 100GB to make space for processing.

Excited to see how it turns out, should be my best.
