...Tool...

I've always wanted to make an Animation film. On my old Win 95 computer I made a looping animation in which two fighters with super powers, one with an energy blast and the other with an extended hand choke slam, keep hitting each other. And that was like 15 years ago.
OK, so, about an year I completed my MS Physics and then realized that I won't even hang the degree in my drawing room, and a few months later I bought a new phone and downloaded this animation app. So, why not make an animation? Draw with your fat fingers on a 5 inch screen. Cool.
And I took the path of the traditional frame by frame animation. The path Walt Disney walked upon and since has been the path most travelled by. But its easier to make animation these days. But, what the hell, why not go as old school as you can in the process. And I don't have tracing papers or a glass tabletop with a light underneath.
So, Yadda-yappitty-yadda, I'm not good at working tedious jobs and long hours. So, it took me some time but I made it. I drew atleast 150 independent frames without any copy pasting and it took me about 15-20 hours spread over around 6 months, I guess. And took me another half an hour to compose the music. Yeah, I'm good at it.
So, all bullshit aside, here's the final result. Enjoy if you can! It's only 18 seconds long.
