SpongeBob animation

Description

my homebrew Spongebob animation I traced part of the walk cycle from the "lost episode" with paper and pencil, scanned the images, colored them in Photoshop, and drew some objects from the show for Spongebob to walk past. To celebrate the show's successful use of cheap animation, I created a simple two frame animation for the road that works surprisingly well! When I studied animation, I discovered that Spongebob is considered 'trash animation.' Simply put, it is because the fps (animation frames per second) was half of something like an animated Disney movie. Yet the success of this franchise definitively proves that success is not dependent on bling alone, something all animators should remain aware of.

Instructions

Just click the green flag and enjoy the show. I raised two kids on Spongebob so the stuff he says really takes me back! If you too are studying walk cycles (why I made this) here is a big list of walk cycle videos I found on YouTube https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/411076/?page=1#post-4093053 19 Dec 2016 - 2363 views, 28 remixes, 31 studios, 86 favs and 98 lovits for this old project, too cool! Thank you everyone for helping make my 7+ years at Scratch even more enjoyable. I got rid of the timing hitch and updated the background flowers. 9 Jul 2021 - 22224 views, 149 remixes, 104 studios, 506 favs and 621 lovits :D I will soon hit my 12th year at Scratch, thank you so much for making my time here so cool! Here is my idea to turn this into a point and click mystery adventure game.. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/336035385/
