Animator vs. Animation

At the risk of seeming horribly behind the times (because it isn’t new), I thought I’d link to an animation that I was sent today. Hey, it’s Friday afternoon!

Animator vs. Animation by Alan Becker.

Somewhat reminiscent of the Xiao Xiao cartoons, here’s the artist’s description:

An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself. A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can find - the brush tool, the eraser tool - to get back at his tormentor … Who will win? You can find out yourself. This took three long months.. i think it’s worth it.

It really was.
