Santa Froggo

2020 "Winter amphibian"

Summary

This is a little animation of a frog bouncing around on a snowy floating island, in the style of the Arcadia wallpaper that the terrain assets are adapted from. The frog's keyframes are interpolated bouncily for a spring-like effect.

Overview

The scene is set with a floating island from the Arcadia wallpaper, with the grass recoloured into snow. A tree, also covered in snow, leans off to the side while a couple of rocks in the background endlessly spin along in the deep blue void of night. In the foreground, a simple frog made of two connected spheres bounces up and down and all around with springy elastic interpolation for a rubbery effect, with eyes wide open and wearing a simple Santa hat. The spinning rocks are synced to the duration of the frog's animation (by completing a full rotation, just with the single final frame cut off by the frame count) to ensure a clean loop.
