Day 10: Stick-Figure Detective
Spooky Baron's What's New · Saturday 7 November 2026
A softer Saturday, spent looking at how a stick-figure film was put together. The pictures are simple: a farmer and an ox, a wooden ship, a desk and a manuscript. The movement is the interesting bit. The legs, the curtains and a hand with a candle all shift like short clips of animation, not like drawings tweened in code.
A stick-figure farmer, an ox and a plough under a cloudy sky.
A wooden ship on a calm sea, drawn in the same style.
That is useful for the cartoons. Still pictures first, a little motion on top, then a voice and a cut. The games had a day off. Eddie and Richie can wait until next week.
