This began with producing a quick and dirty 12-frame walk-cycle of a single stick-man—fully deconstructed into its most basic formulation of over-lapping lines. What I always enjoy about The Kick-About is taking one thing – a first draft, a first take, a first go – and then pushing it as far as it will go; in this instance, I just multiplied and layered this single walk-cycle to produce ‘caterpillars’ in a nod to those wonderful, rhythmic Strandbeests—the prompt for this week’s Kick-About. My original intention was just to use this process to produce a series of graphical 2D images; that done, however, I then recompiled all the resulting 2D images back into an animated sequence to produce… whatever jazzy thing this is!

    This upbeat jazzy creation celebrates the Phil Gomm school of ‘give it your all’ to bring joy into the world. Which ever is your response be it foot tapping or full scale shaking it, you’ll have pleasure written across your face.
