Cartoons – not so static after all
February 12, 2013 in General, News
It is sometimes assumed that cartooning is a purely static medium.
One of our members, Robert Duncan, shows this isn’t the case in this three-minute plus video celebrating the work of the writer and cartoonist Edward Lear.
If you have seen any other good examples of cartooning as a moving medium please post them into the comments below.

A delightful and well crafted piece of story telling work. Suits Robert’s style perfectly. Was Bernard Cribbins unavailable ??

I like these 2 animations based on the work of Mexican/Cuban cartoonist Angel Boligan

Of course, Morten Morland’s animations are a bit special: http://morlandcartoon.co.uk/Morland_Cartoon/Animation.html

and here’s a very old one of mine, done at the time of the Lib Dem leadership fight and featuring the new go-faster Lib Dem bird, based on Road-Runner. The two pieces of music are from the early morning school holiday programmes I watched as a kid, Belle et Sebastien and The Flashing Blade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVCEuBOgwmw

lovely, lovely work – without (presumably) spending a year making it – although there’s still an awful lot of work in it.
