Dive in.
How the Geneva Drive (the mechanical step that makes the second hand on a clock work by turning constant rotation into intermittent motion) works.
Oh snap!
As an engineer, this makes me happy.
If only one loop of this gif were equal to one second…
easy peasy

watching this while listening to a clock ticking
is the best decision i have ever made
Man this is rather fascinating.

I was so ready to reblog this, even before I realized it was a Vine instead of .gif. Hashtag unmute.
what sorcery is this. the longer i watch her, the faster she spins.
love when you cant see the loop on a GIF
I love it when this happens, she’s not speeding up, but the failure to slow down appropriately, your brain freaks out.
SHE IS SPEEDING UP

Modern Disney Girl - MERIDA!
Why short hair?
Merida was a young, teenage rebel. In the movie, she was always against the way of princess lifestyle. And her hair show this very good - in her times woman should braid her hair, cover them - but she always had this “mess” on her head.
What would modern Merida do? She would cut her hair, because many of people would say to her - you have such a lovely, curly, red hair, you should be so proud, don’t shave it, cut it…
But she would surely do that. That fits her character.

Modern Disney Girls - Tiana and Charlotte

Modern Disney Girl - Ariel
Those last two sealed the deal. I had to reblog.

Dear Walt Disney Animation Studios, it has come to my attention that this url may be valuable to you. I have good news for you. I am happy to give you this url, for the right price. I’m not talking about money, I’m talking about something much more valuable. I want you to fly me to Arendelle so I can meet the great Olaf in person. Until my demands are met, this gif of Olaf getting kicked by Anna will be the only thing on this blog. Thank you for your time.
There are few young artists I’ve encountered in the last 10 years who, upon meeting has instantly inspired me. Like, seriously. Whenever I see Toronto resident/ born and raised Accra, Ghana, West African creative wunderkind, Gyimah Gariba’s work, I am reminded that in some small way, the future of art/animation will be okay for us, lol.
I discovered Gyimah’s amazing work online some 3-4 years ago, sharing his work amongst my peers. He was 19 at the time I believe. I miraculously got to meet him the following year in person on Season 1 of Black Dynamite:The Animated Series. He, along with a couple of other animation expats were there for an internship at Titmouse animation studio helping out on the show. He was 20 years old then, and, imo was just too good for his age. I thought of him an “old soul” in animation: a reincarnation of some art master in a past life, possessing him to spread his skill in this era. In this life, haha. At only 23 years old, he’s just unreal. His work speaks to me in so many ways: it’s vibrant, expressive, genuine and full of love, much like him. I’ve bragged about knowing him often, I’m doing it again. I believe he will be one of the true, new voices in the global animation community. Keep an eye on him, I sure will continue to. ^^
