Step 2: The Right Animation

It is not easy to find the right animation. It has to fulfill the following criterions:

• Lenght: 30 - 60 frames, when you calculate 10 frames per second, that would be 3 - 6 seconds (genius).
• Content: A simple motive, a person doing something is nice.
• Movement: The character should move in each frame, because the frames will later be drawn one above another in different colors.

You can either search for animated GIFs in the internet, use a video or draw it yourself.
Some examples for suitable animations:

• PBJ-Banana
• Bouncing Ball
• Sports
