How the movement works
Use it for a handmade, claymation or collage look, when smooth motion feels too slick.
- 0138 frames per 4.7 s (about 8 per second, each held for about 0.124 s). Only those frames are drawn; nothing is drawn in between.
- 02A yellow star (radius 38) hops from x = −44 to 583 along three arches of height 54·|sin(3πt)|, turning twice.
- 03Each frame gets a fixed random jitter: position ±5 px across and ±4.5 px up and down, rotation ±0.15 rad, size ±5%.
- 04The previous two frames stay faintly visible (opacity 0.28 and 0.12), like onion skin.
- 05Black film-strip bands top and bottom (26 px each, with sprocket holes) and a frames-per-second label.
Prompt
Make this move stop-motion style: 8 frames per second, with a slight jitter on every frame.
