EEK & LEEK Test 2 (comedy animation/film)

Second test sequence of two badly animated characters, EEK & LEEK. This test has them going to the welfare office.

Note: This and my other works barely qualify as animation, but my interests have always been more on the audio (Foley) side of things anyway. Infusing vintage public domain footage (some by real animators) hopefully helps to alleviate the eyesore of my simple animation techniques.

I also hope to help bring awareness and support for the many valuable resources out there on the Internet. The following web sites and programs deserve your interest and support.

The Internet Archive
www.archive.org
The greatest public archive housed on the Internet with thousands of audio recordings, images and film footage ranging from vintage to modern works. Remember those old films they showed in school? You can watch them here again. Movie drive-in ads, VJ loops, animations and a whole lot more. Some resources are public domain, and some are variably licensed.

Wikimedia Commons
www.commons.wikimedia.org
Also housing a huge amount of images and audio recordings. Great resource for images both public domain and licensed.

The Library of Congress
http://catalog.loc.gov/
If you don't mind vintage B&W resources, this is a great site. Spend hours here looking at downloadable historical images, documents, and film footage. Audio recordings are also available. Most of what's here is public domain.

Audacity
http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity
I could spend lots of money for multi-track audio recording software but Audacity does the trick, and best of all its free! Many of the bells and whistles most programs have, and good enough to make demos with.

MonkeyJam

If you just need to compile and convert still-frame images into AVI video animation files, this free small program will do the job.
