Sheep-o-carousel-o-trope

I’ve been keen to make a zoetrope animation for a long time, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out a slightly wacky take on the concept.

The central technique was to animate a couple of simple loops for the sheep, then each sheep takes on the pose of a single frame from those loops. That left some time to think about how each sheep would hold that pose with the help of haybails, ladders and cushions - something to give you very sore thighs if you tried it in real life!
