Never Sit Still Celebrate New Studio by Resurrecting the Exquisite Corpse

From the team at Sydney motion/animation studio Never Sit Still: “Inspired by the recent move to our new studio, we made our very own animated exquisite corpse to celebrate the momentous occasion.

“The game began with each person designing a static frame that would end their animated sequence. All the designed frames were then shuffled together and redistributed so every member received a mystery starting frame designed by someone else on the team.

“Then the animation began, with everyone working on their 3-4-second segments in isolation. For the final reveal, everyone’s animations were stitched together with original music and sound design from Smith & Western Sound. Overall, this was an awesome opportunity for us to collaborate and demonstrate the diverse talents of the Never Sit Still team.”
