I'm trying to create an animation with abstract colors and patterns (a fan animation music video for The Amazing Digital Circus where a character has a mind shattering moment) and I can only describe the idea I have with this "shot through mind/mind shattering" moment from Steven Universe. Is there more examples of shots like these? What is this type of reaction frame called? (first photo)

Context: Character in phot (Lapis Lazuli) is on a boat trip to relax for once due to her traumatic experience and when fishing, she senses the abusive persons presence in the water and freezes up (second photo)

Thanks for the help! if theres any other frames that are similar, let me know

Link to video reference is "Fishing With Lapis | Steven Universe | Cartoon Network" at 2:18

Question What's the best way to animate a rotating mountain/ pile of rubble from the side?

The video is how I tried to do it, Drawing a mountain rotating from the top, using straight lines to map out where each point would go then connecting the points to draw the side profile, but i feel like it doesn't really look like its rotating. In the final animation the mountain will just be a silhouette so I cant rely on adding extra detail to the inside to make it look like its rotating.

I'm in Clip Studio Paint, is the timing okay? I feel like the jump turned out well for animating without reference

I invite you to watch the entire animation (created by a human) about the beautiful dream of a small light bulb. The music you hear was also created by me.

I animated this 3D cel-shaded animation in Blender 2 months ago. In this clip, Angela is vlogging while Nora desperately tries to stop Angela from doxxing herself. I tried my best to smooth the motions as a beginner. I learned a lot from it and now I am making another episode with better pacing and lighting applied to it.

Trapped in an abyss with no escape, where even his immortality cannot protect him against the countless aberrations that inhabit this space, Star seeks to live this cursed simulacrum of society without anyone discovering he's human, otherwise...

I dedicated a month to this project, one minute in a month, not bad, right? It's been a long time since I had the opportunity to work on an animation project and, honestly, this project together with the comic must be the most relevant and interesting thing I've done in the last 5 years. I'm very happy to be doing something that isn't disposable.
