Animography - “Blokes”

 

‘A word, a week.’ is an ongoing collaboration with Animography, a web shop and type foundry that provides animated typefaces.

After some stressful contemplation about what super introspective and serious animation I could make, I decided to instead just have fun with it and make a series of goofy walk cycles. They're loosely based on the Monty Python Skit "The Ministry of Silly Walks" hence the word "Blokes". I hope they make you smile.

A huge thank you to Jeff Moberg for providing the excellent sound, and special thanks to Casey Latiolais for his advice during the final stages of the project.
