A line MG animation advertisement released by Apple in 2013, the animation and copywriting are presented in a smooth and extremely simple way. This is a reference for me to learn AE editing.

Woshibai's comics usually depict a scene that is very vague in time and place, and express some mysterious feelings by drawing some such fictional scenes. His comics seem to have specific metaphors, which drove the audience's thinking.

A screenshot in the animation, an excellent frame-by-frame animation, composed of more than 3000 hand-drawn sketches. Reference to style, storyboard.
GIF is often used to provide short animations, encouraging viewers to click to watch the full animation. Its simplicity and small size are a very practical medium.
In a single GIF, multiple levels of meaning are usually conveyed. The two are the expression of emotion and the display of cultural knowledge. This complexity with symbolic meaning makes GIF an ideal tool in digital communication.

Anna Haifisch is an independent comics creator. Her works are both interesting and profound. The cute humanoids in her comics are in sharp contrast with the dark scenes. Her works use humor to break the stereotype of the artist and convey our sense of anxiety and loneliness in our work and life.
