The animation of the cheek movement in the flipnote by Symrox⛄Jox is exceptionally well animated. We really loved the arrow idea too.

This Weeks Topic - "Olympic Games"

With the Olympic Games having started this week in Rio, we thought we should have this as our weekly topic. There's lots of different Olympic sports to be inspired by when making your flipnotes. How about any of the athletics and gymnastics events. Or Archery, Fencing, and weight lifting, not to mention Syncronised swimming and diving. For a full list, why not Google search Olympic Sports. See what takes your fancy. So, stylus's at the ready.....get set.....and Go! : )

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel, and the deadline for your entries is the 7th of August. Keep on flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
