Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "Arcs Of Motion"

The flight path of Pegasus Pony, Rainbow Dash follows numerous arcs of motion as she darts effortlessly about the sky in this beautiful fantasy animation created by nightshade.

An arcing motion features prominently here when Pencil Man’s spouse desperately seeks his attention with an angry wave in this Weekly Topic winning entry by Tugay Dost.

This arcing movement is a pivotal one, swinging up and down from the character’s shoulder joint.

A series of figurative arcing motions are brought to life in this excellent piece of constructional animation by box.

The curving pathways, high-lighted in red, show great understanding of action movement in both two and three dimensional space.

Watch the Alaskan Yo-Yo as it swings in opposite directions at the same time in this double arcing topic winner by Tacname67.

With both diagrammatic explanation and an animated demonstration, it shows exactly what the Yo-Yo is composed of, and precisely how it works.

The arcing motion of a bouncing ball is the subject of this Weekly Topic winner by SFToons.

We loved the evolutionary twist, as the energy of the bounce survives, transforming into a series of people and objects, before returning to its original form.

A trip over a rock sends an OC sprawling in this Weekly Topic winning entry by HeHe169.

The dominant arc of motion occurs here as the character falls to the ground.

For this splendid arcing motion, Koto has chosen a wind-up to a punch. Showcasing it wonderfully in this extremely fluid, cyclical speed eight animation.

This Weeks Topic - "Jokes"

For this topic, we’d like you to make your entries using jokes as your inspiration.

Ironic jokes, punning jokes, one-liners, anecdotal jokes, they’re all good.

Joke books and on-line collections are a great source for a giggle, as are comedians and comedy shows on TV.

(Just bear in mind the rules of Sudomemo when you’re choosing your joke. As rude, offensive, and discriminatory jokes will note be considered)

Once you’ve chosen your joke or jokes, you could visualize them with animation, illustration, lip-synced dialogue, fully enacted sketches, or any other ideas that leap to mind.

If you’re stuck for a joke, you could try using one of these samples:

1 The first time I got a Universal Remote Control, I thought to myself, “This changes everything!”

2 A friend of mine tried to annoy me with bird puns, but toucan play at that game!

3 I’ve decided to sell my hoover……...After all, it was just gathering dust!

Whatever you decide, why not become a jester at your own court of comedy, and start making a Weekly Topic Joke 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 - Jokes and the deadline for your entries is July 16th (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.
