Flash 5 · 2001
THESTROLL
A little man traced from a library animation book, frame by frame, and pieced together into walk, strut, sneak, run and jump cycles. All hand-drawn and hand-timed — a breakbeat made in Propellerhead Reason for the soundtrack.

The full walk — ending the piece as it began, just walking.
Rendered in-browser by Ruffle — a Flash emulator running the original 2001 files as-is.
How it was made
01 · Trace
Frames of a little man found in a library book on animation. Each pose hand-traced into Flash 5 on the timeline.
02 · Cycle
The traced frames strung into walking, strutting, sneaking, running and jumping cycles, timed by hand frame-by-frame.
03 · Sound
A jungle breakbeat written in Propellerhead Reason and mixed into the soundtrack.
The piece that started it all.
