Here’s a video of my flipbook. Apologies for the dim video– I used a light table thinking it was the documentation station in its entirety.
Hungry Octopus from Mindy Tchieu on Vimeo.
In one of my earlier versions, I realized I had too much going on. I had the octopus pop-up from the bottom, and several fish come from both sides spewing bubbles, and then clouds, sun, and a rainbow coming from above. It was really hard for the eye to focus. So I started over and drew just the octopus head popping up, and then went back to add arms and a fish.
