hotels.com animatic

Aardman Flipnote animations

Here's a couple of little animations drawn into Flipnote on the Nintendo DSi. They were made before christmas at Aardman, directed by Tim Ruffle, to advertise the Legend of Zelda game. It's wierd spending a few weeks drawing things on a very very tiny screen with a very very tiny pen but quite good fun in a strange kind of way.

My favourite bit was recording the sound effects by going "3..2..1..go" and holding the DS near a speaker while the sound man presses play on his computer.
