Katsudo Shashin Animation

LI: to create an animation

One of the oldest surviving pieces of Japanese animation may be a nameless, dateless, approximately 3-second film known as “Katsudo Shashin“ (literally “Action Photo“). It simply features a boy writing the words 活動写真 katsudo shashin and then doffing his cap.

Our challenge today was to use our animation skills to create our own 3 second ‘action photo’ using our own manga character.

I enjoyed this because I got to experiment with different colours and animes to choose from.
