Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Weekly Topic competition.
We had a great response to last week's topic “Most Random”, and a selection of our favorite winning entries are coming up.
But first here's some news that all you budding animators are gonna love.
That's right! Episode 1 of The 12 principles of animation is out now on YouTube.
Hosted by Ziggy Starburst and Bailey Flitwing, this highly informative video focuses on the first animation principle of squash and stretch. It also illustrates its points beautifully with Flipnote animations by Sudomemo creators.
And there's even a quiz at the end, so you can test your knowledge!
This video is now available to all on our Sudomemo YouTube channel.
Here's a link that will take you straight to it:

You've got to check it out! It's an invaluable tool that will help you improve your animations enormously.
And next a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.
We're still trying to raise more cash this month for additional Sudomemo expenditures.
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.
