Creator Emma said she made this just for fun.  And I must say it is fun.  Sure it's juvenile to ask someone to pull your finger, but does that mean we can't do it? Of course most of us don't expect such toxic results. Gives a whole new meaning to silent but deadly.

It wasn't easy. We've got 700-800 new Shapeshifter animations being made every week. Luckily we've got 14 more winners to come.  Together with our judges and your votes, we've chosen this weeks 2 winners, which are:  LEARNING TO FLY and CHIRP.  Both of them make maximum use of Shapeshifter's minimalistic structure - a few shapes go a long way. Avramova manages to convey so much character through her birds. The expressions are really impressive. Sloan's movement, design...way to go guys.

You are getting sleepy...very sleepy....Efficient use of shapes and a flawless loop cycle make this short animated movie a great .gif.  Ramiro Olmos's 78KB 01 LITTLE LAMB 02 LITTLE LAMB has a clean design and great use of color. 

Hey, here's how you create an animated image to use as your picture on MySpace or a blog. Just create a short movie in Shapeshifter where a character representing you does something. Maybe she waves, maybe he blinks. Then click "Export".  Shapeshifter will then show you your .gif. Right-click and select "Save Image as". Then, upload it to your profile the same way you would a .jpg!

Scared SAVE won't work? Try using the "Backup/Restore" feature. When you click BACKUP, it saves the latest version to your harddrive. If you accidentally close your browser, go back in and click "RESTORE". Like magic, it's back. However, if you are done for the day, make sure to click "SAVE".

Every movie you make with Shapeshifter is automatically entered. The Aniboom crew, together with registered users and past Aniboom Awards finalists will be choosing two kick-ass movies each week to win an iPod  - a total of 16 winners!
