This is a visual description of the forces of nature. Creation and destruction.

Nice work, especially the detail of a lens flare as the pencil flips.

I loved it. Just it's too long, I mean, with 30 seconds of video it's more than sufficient.

Thanks for looking,
I don't know,selgin. It's one of those things where it has to run slightly over time in order to become disturbing. I though it just had to go over that comfort zone of 30 seconds.

Cool idea, Durand and v nice delivery.
I understand the length in the context of the infinity symbol.
Maybe if it were on its side, I actually saw an 8 until I thought about it.
Or a series of images with a linear thread that leads to the infinity loop as part of a narrative equation?

Wow, we just need Genete to post and we'd have all of the animated avatars, I think. Sorry, OT.

This is an animation forum, isn't it?

Sorry Durand, looks like I started something here.

J.Baker, I had forgotten about yours, but I still imagine that frog one you had. DK, no more wiener toonz?

Chucky,
I was probably working on impulse, rather than analytically. I think you are correct though, as I know selgin is about the length, for that matter. Maybe if I make extra chapters or scenes as prequels and cut this first one down to fit as a final sequence it might work.....

Ha Ha.....Surely there must be more animated avatars hiding out there?

Time for a change of Avatar synthsin75...but the problem is....I keep changing my mind???
