The design and implementation of an Open Source animation tool.

The Acid Test

When all is said and done, the final test for Moing will be to find a piece of loose, floppy animation from the 1920s (old enough to be public domain) on YouTube or archive.org or someplace like that, and recreate it in Moing. Not a pixel-for-pixel recreation, not tracing, but a fairly close recreation that captures the feel of the original work.

If you can't do convincing old-school squash and stretch, you can't do convincing animation.
