Well done to everyone who entered.
In this Topic winning entry by Cosmirage, the application of a new wonder gel transforms a manky old beard into a soft and lustrous, perfect specimen of facial hair.
Beautifully drawn and shaded, the animation covers various stages of beard rejuvenation using multiple Flip-tools for the original ‘bird’s nest’ look, followed by strong linear highlights and flowing movement to create the final result.
When jealous of another’s beard, Hejdasz the goat turns to hair tonic for the solution to the problem in this Topic winning tale by Camodiel.
The expert story telling techniques include strong idea visualization, appealing character design with expressive performance, along with energetic action animation.
A beard is grown in a sneezy instant in our next Topic winning Flipnote by ChezDee.
The zany comedy is delivered with well timed, voice acted lip-synch, as well as a multiple image motion blur that really pops the punchline!
This Weeks Topic - "Package Delivery"
With online purchasing a huge part of shopping in the modern world, and Christmas just round the corner, package delivery is bigger than ever before!
The receiving of a package can be a big thrill, but if the order is wrong somehow, or it’s delivered damaged, it can also be a massive letdown.
Your Flipnotes could involve package delivery in any way you like;
Package sorting, delivery driving, tracking issues, unboxings, complaints, or any other ideas you can think of.
Whichever way you decide to go, start posting us a package, in the form of 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 - Package Delivery and the deadline for your entries is December the 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.
