The Ultimate Flour Sac Reference

Our lives ? From Andy's Animation Blog


Here is a repost of one of the post I did on the 11 Second Club forum more than one year ago. It's basically a list of reference for a possible flour sac animation I wanted to make.

Unfortunately because I never had the time... Or more because my drawing skills aren't very good and I never had the time, I have never made my flour sac animation.

It quite amazing how animators, as in the Aladdin clip above, can give life to something as not human as a Flour Sac or a Carpet. I know they did it with vehicles in Cars or with fishes in Finding Nemo, but the carpet in Aladin doesn't have any facial features to help.
