Play Dead!

The 11 Second Club is a website for aspiring and experienced animators, where they can participate in monthly competitions to create the best animated short based on a pre-selected 11 second snippet of dialogue (could be from a Movie, TV show or Video Game). The one main rule of the competition is that the artist cannot, in any way, edit the original dialogue track.

However, because I tend to be a slower artist I instead prefer to use this website as a method of practice for my personal development, meaning that, my animations have never and will never be submitted to the competitions. This allows me to add onto and edit the preexisting audio snippet (as I have done here).

This particular short was a fun way in both knocking off the rust (since I hadn’t animated in over three years) and adding more Flash animation to my portfolio.

The dialogue comes from the 11 second club website and can be found under the April 2016 competition:

I obtained the music from the FMA Free Music Archive and can be found here:
