Mr. Floaf

Made in 2002, this was my first flash film. I was experimenting with a new animation style of making things move in as loose and unnatural as possible. Trying to push the boundaries of where I could take cartoony animation...this was intended as a two-part cartoon, but as of yet I have still to finish the second half.

Wow. I love the facial expressions and the fluid animation. I thought it was hilarious, but part of me kept wondering if something really horrible was going to happen given your more recent films. Lol. How long did it take you to animate this if you can remember?

@Thorbie I can't remember now...I animated it all on paper and then vectorized it and coloured it in flash...I think maybe a month or two for the whole thing...my recollection is I did it really quickly...

Even when Flash animation was on it toes (2002 is still somewhat old, for the internet anyway) you still managed to do a great job here.

Sure, the frame rate here is kinda lower than usual (or so it seems) but that's not a problem here.

Still, you've improved a lot since this.

Ah, never mind those questions. I typed that out in the minutes before you added the description, apparently.
