Newton's Law of Gravity, animated at M.I.T.

The M.I.T. LineStorm Animation Consortium creates traditional animation projects at the rate of ten drawings for every second of onscreen running time. This hand-drawn celebration of Newton's Law of Gravity originated entirely on flipbooks created at the M.I.T. Student Art Association in the spring of 2010. Instructor Pell Osborn, of MotionArt Studios, Boston, supervised. Many thanks go to SAA director Sam Magee, and to Sir Isaac Newton for applying his exceptional brain power to the issue of gravity. The lively music track is an excerpt from a performance by the Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra of Edvard Grieg's "Holberg Suite, Opus 40." Finally, many thanks are due the animators for their good humor, dedication and hard work.
