This was an entry to a FlipaClip animation android application contest. It was animated at 12 frames per second in a hand drawn frame by frame animation technique. Frame by frame means that for every movement a character makes, a separate drawing is needed. This is my preferred method of animating because I feel it's more labor intensive and really helps me develop my drawing skills. I mean after the first second of... lets say 24 drawing of one character, you're sure to be able to draw that character with your eyes closed.  Although frame by frame animating is my favorite style to work in, I do enjoy the process of animating in other ways like stop motion, digital 2D puppet, and experimental.

This was animated frame by frame digitally hand drawn at 12 frames per second to make for smooth almost slowmotion effect from the butterfly, moth, and tongue strike of the hungry chameleon. I used the slow motion effect to accentuate the movements these amazing insects utilize to gracefully become air born. I also carefully observed and used as reference several slowmotion videos from you tube, ya know, to give it a natural insect flight. 

My name is Dismas and I am an artist, animator, and author. With my wife GrissyG, we work as GrisDismation to produce original art and animation. Animation or what some refer to as cartoons are a visual art medium used for entertainment, promotion, games and more. If you have an idea, commercial or short film that needs to be brought to life in an animation, GrisDismation can help you develop your vision from concept to completion with a unique art style to make it stand out and have lasting appeal.
