Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "Perspective"
Our first topic winning selection this week, by matthieu involves a fantastic use of perspective in a fluid drift through semi-dream state surroundings.
We were utterly amazed that such complicated moving surroundings could be visualized with just geometric black and white imagery.
We also loved the seamless way in which the sleeper fazes in and out of the surreal environment.
This incredibly impressive checkerboard Demo by RETROMAN features numerous forms of perspective movement, as well as rotation and a host of other stunning Flipnote effects.
It really is mesmerizing to watch, and beautifully scored to music made by the creator.
We roared with laughter as this dog repeatedly tries to find flattering selfie angles for his rather large nose, in this WT winning Flipnote by Meggo.
Perspective really can be a cruel mistress sometimes!
Using 3-D shapes, animals, stick men, and vehicles, Calite takes us on a dizzying ride through perspective space in this topic winner.
The subject to subject blends are exceedingly well done, creating an uninterrupted flow to the animation.
blipsoid has created a spinning perspective cube for this topic winner.
Hand drawn with Flipnote tools, the animation includes both a drop shadow and a three-dimensional space.
Very nicely done!
A Bankai sword demonstration is made even more awesome with the use of perspective, in this topic winning entry by DIO.
We also really enjoyed the dynamic movement and character drawing in this classic Anime inspired animation.
This Weeks Topic - "Gardens"
Gardens, lawns, and yards can be places of great natural beauty, seclusion and restfulness, as well as for growing produce, hanging out washing, and family fun.
Your Flipnotes could be about any kind of garden, lawn, or yard you choose. But here’s an idea you might like to try….
An Idea For This Topic
Design your own Flipnote garden or yard and give us a guided tour.
It could be anything from a bespoke designer yard, a secret garden, a futuristic allotment, or an artistic lawn.
Tailor them for your OCs, or give them a Sudomemo twist.
The landscaping is entirely up to you!
Get your watering cans at the ready everyone……….It’s gardening time!
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 - Gardens and the deadline for your entries is February the 26th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).
We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.
And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.
Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
