Speaking with Animation..

'flash'ing for attention

It’s hard to pick just one of the many 30-second animation clips Jennifer Shiman has created. Using Adobe Flash, Shiman was able to establish Angry Alien Productions , which created animated bunnies that re-enacted feature length films in 30-seconds.
She hand draws everything first by hand (on paper, using a lightbox) then scans it into a vector art, and eventually colors and animates it in flash.
Although I personally struggle with Flash, the technical aspects of her clips seem relatively simple. Leaving her to be more precise with time and content that allow each one to speak so much. Within 30 seconds there’s a beginning, middle and end, maintaining the classical narrative structure, and highlighting the key points that allow one to recognize the film which her characters (bunnies) re-enact.
The space is broken down to a background, middle and foreground which bring it more to life.
The characters are so similar in their drawn features and attitude, we can almost forget they are animated bunnies for 30-seconds and pretend they are the main characters of the original films.
They don’t move around much through each frame, but as a whole it moves so quickly that it feels almost feels like they do.

Animations for entertainment.
