Synfig Animation Examples Video
Werewolf Download (around 45 seconds, 1.6 megabytes) November 2004 A werewolf transforms into his beastly state as the red moon rises. Created by Will Short, Robert Quattlebaum and Darrin Michelson Source code is available, for educational use only, do not distribute or distribute modified renders. | Big Eye Download (around 15 seconds, 2.5 megabytes) October 2004 A close-up of a large, lazy eye. Notice how the reflection actually distorts as the lense moves under it. Created by Rabecha Lenhart and Robert Quattlebaum Source code is available under the same License as synfig (GNU GPL 2). |
Prologue Download (around 3 minutes, 20 megabytes) July 2004 This short follows two children fleeing from soldiers through an old sewer. In an attempt to protect his friend, one of the children tries to draw one of the soldiers away. However, plans don't always work out as one would hope. This was the first animated production created using Synfig, and as such has become our “proof of concept” animation for it. Created by: Voria Studios Source code is available, for educational use only, do not distribute or distribute modified renders. | Happy Fun-Joy Time Start! Download (around 22 seconds, 2.9 megabytes) December 2004 A very bizzare, super-happy, and oddly captivating animation featuring large purple bears, dancing children, smiling celestial bodies, rainbows, leaping sheep, and dancing flowers. Created by Rabecha Lenhart |
