A mouse, a piece of cheese, a friend, and a world of others. What do they have in common? This animation, that's what! ^w^ Run time: 1 minute. Time Taken: 4 months since November 13th, 2010 Artist: Supersysscvi Medium: "Flash" animation Artist's Statement: When I first came up with the idea for this flash animation, I was sitting in my 2D design class while listening to my teacher's lecture (most likely, it was on angels. Not a bad thing, just... probably was on angels). I couldn't quite keep still about the idea, and drew a bunch of sketches in my notepad. In the actual implementation of the animation, the main idea was to get a flash animation of Transformice with the Nom Nom song in the background, seeing as many players ask for it when I modded the game. The actual time put into the animation was not four months; both school and other activities took priority over this animation, and the real impetus behind finishing this up has been a portfolio review in the future, where a finished product is a necessity for my scholarly progress. That aside, I will argue that this animation also reflects a strange irony in priorities; how a mouse takes a piece of food and spends an inordinate amount of time with other preoccupations instead of the obvious choice: eating the cheese, as that is left until the very end. My statement aside, I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. Oh, and critiques are always welcome! ^^ EDIT: (For "For-Freedom-For-Art") I hope I'm allowed to put this here. ^^; I don't want to seem like a view whore, but I'd be honored to have this as a part of the gallery. :D
