One of the first things animators learn when starting out is how to animate a bouncing ball, an important part of mastering the techniques. This entertaining animation project continues that intriguing concept by inviting collaboration worldwide with a simple pitch: pass the ball. Created by animation filmmaker Nathan Boey, Pass the Ball features a total of 40 unique animated segments. His idea: "I always liked how rappers were able to collaborate with other rappers by featuring them on their songs. That doesn’t exist the same way in the film world." So he got 40 different animators to create a 3 second animation of a ball, then pass it on to someone in another country. Each person "picks up where the other left off" and continues. And after years of working on this, the final film is ready! It's terrific! And features so many different animation styles. My favorite segments are: the planets, yarn & phone, volleyball, and the art track one (2:11) at the very end. ›››
