Katsudo Shashin Animation

 LI: To create an animation


One of the oldest surviving pieces of Japanese animation may be a nameless, dateless, approximately 3-second film known as “Katsudo Shashin“ (literally “Action Photo“). It simply features a boy writing the words 活動写真 katsudo shashin and then doffing his cap. Our challenge today was to use our animation skills to create our own 3 second ‘action photo’ using our own manga character.

I enjoyed this activity because it was really fun to make a 3 second video

    What a brilliant animation. I love how your character is drawing his sword from behind and then turning to the front with his sword at the ready.
    Awesome job.
