Whole-class Looping Animation Group Project
Each student was assigned to create 2 identical frames. They kept one frame, and the other frame was given to a random person in class. Every student was given 10 frames to transition from their frame to the one that they received randomly. Afterward, all short 12-frame animations were compiled to create looping animations.
