Well done to everyone who entered.

In this Topic winning MV by Kêithkash★, character performance, and Sing-Along lyrics, brings the song “India”, by Herman, bursting to life on the screen!

Expertly choreographed action utilizes the screen space to its full potential, while at the same time perfectly executed lip-synch and spot on timing completes the composition beautifully!

Calvin and Wellington head off to explore the wonders of India in this sight-seeing, animated adventure created by AntHands.

Visually punctuated with flash photography stills, to high-light the fun, their activities include a visit to the Taj Mahal, appreciating cultural art, and consuming a seriously spicy curry!

Wow! That was a flaming hot one!

In this Topic winning entry by CookieEXP, Cookie’s got himself an especially imaginative Sudomemo Plane Ticket! Which entitles the bearer to fly all the way to the beautiful continent of India!

We wish him a safe journey, and a wonderfully exciting visit!

This Weeks Topic - "The Trumpet"

A trumpet is a brass musical instrument with a flared bell and a bright penetrating tone.

By blowing through the mouth piece, the player’s lips vibrate to make the sound, which can be adjusted by the use of buttons and valves.

Your Flipnotes could feature the trumpet, trumpet playing, or trumpet music in any way you like.

They could be musically synched, expressively performed, illustrative, photographic, or technically informative.

The choice is yours!

Whatever you decide, it’s time to blow your own trumpet, Flipnote style, and start making a 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 - The Trumpet and the deadline for your entries is September 15th (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.
