Overtime at work has snatched the hours I normally devote to making Flash cartoons,*, but it's been awhile since I posted. When I can't post my own stuff, I post stuff that inspired me. Here's an old clip from Yellow Submarine that I've liked since I was a kid. I remember watching it and thinking Wow, I want to make cartoons when I grow up! My favorite part comes in the middle of the song, where whimsical numbers count to sixty four, to the beat of the music. *I'm still making them, of course!
Linda, It never occurred to me to watch the skipping birds while the video played. Maybe I should stick clockfaces on their head for better integration? ;) Sal, Is it just me, or do the years slip by about as fast as they do in the cartoon?
I love the numbers best, too!
ReplyDeleteIt was funny watching this and seeing the top of the skip cycle in the post below skipping by.
*you better still be making them.
uh oh getting closer all the time....

Sal,

Yes, faster than a speeding bullet!
ReplyDeleteinteresting how this influenced early Sesame Street.
ReplyDeleteI always found Yellow Submarine to be rather fascinating as a young child. Trippy stuff indeed...!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're super busy right now...Hope things slow down soon so you can catch your breath.
Take care!
