Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "Sudomemos 12th Birthday"

In the first of our Topic winning selection, Matthew756 revels in Sudomemo’s special day with this joyfully high-spirited Birthday MV.

Opening with the iconic start-up chime we all know and love, it hits the ground running and doesn’t stop there with an escalating cast of creator-characters, lip-synched lyrics, and cake for the Flipnote Fox.

Zac202X commemorates Sudomemo’s 12th anniversary in style with this lively TV Bumper starring a collection of their favorite profile characters from across the years.

Inventively transforming from one PC to the next with a variety of spins and morphs, the accompanying cartoon sound effects bring out the transitional actions to a tee.

The rarely attempted speed 8 full animation is achieved spectacularly in this Birthday party styled Sudomemo Ticket celebration created by The Sparks.

We were totally blown away by the smoothness of movement and creative distortions that are handled so skilfully by this ingenious creator.

Racing to make the date, Baby Sudofox sets off a barrage of Birthday celebrations in this adorable Topic winner by MaxWorth12.

Brimming with creative ideas and great animation techniques, the piece includes a low angle four legged run, a banner raising amidst balloons, and even a sticky screen-lick for a twelve year commemorative stamp!

To mark this special occasion, the concept of “Getting Sudo’d” finds physical form in this hilarious slice of domestic comedy created by ☆Rainstar☆.

Now that’s an upgrade worth having!

Envisioning our ever changing community and inspirational creative hub as a living environment, kip looks back at twelve years of Sudomemo in this retrospective MV.

Don’t forget to pay a visit to the statue in the park!

Inspired by the users of Sudomemo Discord, Vinyboiler has created this revealing tribute of images and sounds saluting twelve glorious years of Sudomemo.

Read it at your own pace for a seriously in-depth insight!

Utilizing expert drawing, tool use, and musical composition skills, a fabulous Flipnote Fox illustration comes together along with its very own jingle in this animated Birthday card made by Hayden★.

And that concludes last week’s Topic winners.

Now onto this week's Topic description.

This Weeks Topic - "The Remote Control"

Nowadays, remote controls can be used to operate all your technological needs.

With a Universal Remote Control you can change a TV channel, turn on a light, open a garage door, or turn up a stereo. And all at the click of a button.

That’s pretty cool, right? But what if they could be used to control absolutely anything at all. Like turning down the volume of a barking dog, or fast forwarding a boring conversation.

Your Flipnotes could feature any kind of remote control in any way you can think of.

What crazy ideas can you come up with? Why not show us in the form of a Flipnote! And push your Topic remote button today!

We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - The Remote Control and the deadline for your entries is February the 8th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes, to highlight any details you’d like us to feature in our winner reviews.

Tip: The frame you save your Flipnote on will become the thumbnail, so choose your favorite or add a title page!

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
