And now, here are the winning Flipnotes from last week's topic "The Shrugging Gesture".
Well done to everyone who entered.
In a shrug-full comedy sketch, the whereabouts of Steve’s shirt is called into question!
But does Noodle have the answer, in this Weekly Topic winner by InstNuggo?
Using great gestural drawings emphasized with well timed punctuating movements, the contrasting character emotions of exasperation and disinterest play out beautifully to the scene’s frustrated conclusion.
Shrugging off Flipnote animation in exchange for watching dubious YouTube videos New User’s PC makes a shameful choice in our next Topic winning entry.
Skillfully drawn and animated, we loved the idea of the DSi’s call to action, as it flashes away in the background. Even if, on this occasion, it was ignored completely.
But was it really? We suspect not!
After materializing on the page through an animated draw, Sonic The hedgehog comes to life with a characterful shrug in this winning Topic Flipnote by SonicFan27.
We very much enjoyed the creative mix of drawing and rendering techniques here, as well as a lovely piece of line animation.
When Wince can’t find their headphones for a MineCraft gaming session, all Star can do is shrug, in this Weekly Topic winning Flipnote by Alexgen.
What an excellent sketch based idea to showcase an indifferent shrug, along with a very nice character performance indeed!
The shrugging gesture is the perfect response to some random guy who just won’t stop yammering, in this Topic winner by TB64.
Wow! That guy can really go on!
Keep on Flipnoting guys, and the best of luck with your FFC entries.
