A rooftop gust of ticker-tape passes by, as PC Jerald watches from on high, in this Topic winning entry by ★Jerald★™😃.

The sense of blustery wind is created beautifully with a flickery paintbrush effect, combined with the extremely realistic movement of the ticker-tape strips and shreds.

Just like ticker-tape, confetti is the celebratory flurry of paper featured in this Topic winning animation by Glin.

Following the whole process, from making through to throwing, a hole-punch is used to build up vast quantities of chad (the little punched paper circles), before they are flung by the handful in the traditional manner.

Operating a pressure pad, belt-driven, ticker-tape machine, a Smiley generates endless papery celebrations in this Topic winning entry by ☆¢れムwFひⓁ™★.

This Weeks Topic - "Forgetful"

From having a mind like a sieve, to the memory of a goldfish, forgetfulness comes in many forms.

For example, from forgetting your car keys, or a birthday, to more excessive forms like forgetting your own name, where you live, or even, as the saying goes, forgetting your own head, if it wasn’t screwed on!

This topic could be about any kind of forgetfulness you choose.

It could be about cause and effect. What makes someone forgetful, or what can happen when they are?

Or a situation where forgetfulness becomes a serious problem!

Or how about characters that are just always forgetful, and the chaos they can cause?

Why not create the most extreme case of scatterbrained forgetfulness you can think of, and see what happens!

Whatever you choose, don’t draw a blank, start drawing a Topic Flipnote 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 - Forgetful and the deadline for your entries is June 29th (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.
