What's the model behind the "movin' pictures"?
The simple frame by frame animation has a very weak and almost nonexistent model.
The "simple frame by frame animation" is the idea I had in mind. And although I haven't tried "stacking" a number of pictures on top of each other, I did notice in our recent workshop that "send to back (or front)" is an included feature. Couldn't that be scripted to show motion?

There are many ways of doing frame by frame, but why not do it the way the children learn how to animate? Check out the project "Sam's Face Ball" on the Squeakland website. I think there is also a tutorial about how to animate.
But, again, I ask, why not do this with a real model instead of "just a story"?
Cheers,
Alan
