Thanks to Mark at Promethean for linking this great site on Twitter. It’s an interesting introduction to animation.

Basically you can create your own little character and watch him/her dance.

To make your own, click on the Paint icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. You are then taken to a painting screen where you can freehand draw, or use shapes, to create a character within the outline of a person.

You can then watch him dance, and also view the creations of other people. It is then possible to embed your creation into your blog… which hopefully I have done below.

If that doesn’t work, click here to see it.

You do not have a lot of control over the movement – this is purely for creating a dancing person, but it is quite fun!
