Animator vs. Animation
// October 21st, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Funnies
If you were on the internet in 2006, you probably would have seen Animator vs. Animation by alanbecker. This seems to have resurfaced in my inbox. It’s an oldie but certainly a goodie.
An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself. A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can find - the brush tool, the eraser tool - to get back at his tormentor. It’s resourcefulness versus power. Who will win? You can find out yourself.
Of course, it didn’t end there and Animator vs. Animation II came out shortly after. Perhaps not as good as the first one (IMHO), you can clearly see subtle influences such as The Matrix circa 2006.
Almost 2 years later (July 2009), Alan posted on his profile:
I’ve started working on Animator vs. Animation III! Don’t expect it to come out any time soon, but know that it’s on the horizon.
Since we know that these things do take time, sometimes up to 5 months or more, I’m not holding my breath. Yet, I’m looking forward to the next instalment.
