Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Weekly Topic competition.
We had a great response to last week's topic “Extreme Ironing”, and a selection of our favorite winning entries are coming up.
But first here's some Sudomemo news of the soft and furry kind.
We are pleased to announce that the Sudomemo Fox plushie petition is starting tomorrow afternoon (Monday 17th of November).
We greatly encourage you to put your name in, because if we get enough signatures this exciting new Sudomemo venture can move forward.
And now here's a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.
Here at Sudomemo our fundraising activities reflect the quality of services we can provide.
We want to develop more educational content, as well as continued improvements and upgrades to our infrastructure.
With more funding we would be able to do more for the community and also ensure a healthier future for the site.
If you would like to make a donation then Sudomemo Patreon is the way to go! It will really help with the upkeep and running of Sudomemo, and there’s loads of special rewards to enjoy.
Here's the link to our Sudomemo Patreon site:

And now, our winning Flipnotes from last week’s Topic “Extreme Ironing“.
Well done to everyone who entered.
In this Topic winning Flipnote, by Angelina♥, a mother’s grim determination to keep her daughter in freshly pressed clothes leads to a case of Extreme Ironing at twenty thousand feet!
What, at first glimpse, looks like merely Casual Ironing, turns out to be TOTALLY EXTREME in this wonderfully devil-may-care Topic winner by K&L.
It really is all about location, location, location!
The consequences of using Extreme Ironing for medical resuscitation prove to be positively shocking in this hilarious knockabout comedy skit made by S_B.
Now that's really gonna sting in the morning!
Motion blur is the apparent streaking of moving objects in a photograph or sequence of frames in film. It can also feature to great effect in drawn animation, but has to be created by the artist.
Here are some examples of the different types of motion blur used in animation;
Wizz-lines, solid form stretching, trailing multiple images, trailing shade, and streaking backgrounds.
Your Flipnotes could feature any type of motion blur you can think of, while focusing on whichever subject you like.
Why not experiment with your own techniques, or combine the classics in new and original ways.
Stretch your animated movements to the limits, and start making a super-blurry Topic entry 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 - Motion Blur and the deadline for your entries is November the 23rd (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.
