LoopDeLoop// Breakfast

Video on Vimeo

Once again I'm entering LoopDeLoops monthly animation contest, this months theme is 'Breakfast'. As I woke up and found the new theme, at 4pm I then stayed in bed for another few hours with tea and cartoons playing off my laptop - that was my morning, this was my breakfast. And as I finally began working at 6pm, I began coming up with ideas. Each seemed unrealistic for me to animate, because my mornings weren't avocado on toast or hard boiled eggs. So I started animating the morning I'd just woken up to - a 1pm tea and cartoon marathon. I animated the 5 second loop on photoshop, then looped it together on after effects - the whole animation taking about 2 week of an hour every odd day.

I reached the deadline with a week to spare, but I did have a problem to begin with. After uploading the video to Vimeo, my account was flagged for spam. Because I hadn't confirmed my E-mail address, I was unable to send a report about being falsely flagged as spam, which is something the site recommended I did. So after a lot of fuss I confirmed a new E-mail address, send a completed and finally had my account unlocked again and my videos made public. Although the whole thing was sorted out within a weekend, I was worried I would have to remake a channel on Vimeo so I could enter LoopDeLoop - which would involve me deleting the original channel to start a fresh and losing all the links to the videos on there, from previous loopdeloops. But luckily, it was sorted out. You can find my LoopDeLoop animation 'Breakfast' Here!
