Practicing some secondary animation with Pikachu’s ears and trying to improve on my line art. I hope you like it!
If you did, then please take a moment to consider following my blog for more animations in the future! And thanks to everyone who has already done so in the past! It means so much to me!
Finished this in time for Zelda Day! I wanted this to be a gif, but I couldn’t keep it within Tumblr’s 3mb size limit, and compression got really shitty. So a video file is the only way I can salvage 2 weeks of work.
Cardcaptor Sakura Card Summonings Set #1 (E01-E09)
☆ Synced! Open post separately to see them play at the same time.
☆ Specific episode noted on each gif
This image set beautifully illustrates one of my favourite little things about the Cardcaptor Sakura anime. Most magical girl shows get a lot of mileage out of stock transformation and summoning sequences, and if you examine any given episode in isolation, Cardcaptor Sakura looks like it goes the same route.
It doesn’t, though.
Because the protagonist wears a completely different outfit in every single episode, they couldn’t use any stock footage for transformation and summoning sequences – they had to re-animate them every time. They just deliberately framed them to look like stock footage. Certainly, standardised templates were used, but there’s no direct recycling of cels even when they totally could have gotten away with it. Look at the leftmost GIF in each of the first two rows, for example; she’s wearing identical white gloves in both, but the shadows on her hand fall differently in the second one.
