Got an Honorable Mention in the Rive x Contra Interactive Character Challenge 😍

Not sure how Bob feels about this, but I'm so happy to have been part of it and grateful for all the love from the community. Huge thanks to the Rive and Contra teams, and congrats to everyone who submitted, the bar was seriously high.

Already looking forward to the next character challenge to justify my need to keep producing silly content 😂

Congrats Manu! Bob was really a great kind of submisson!

What happens when print grain learns to move?

For this one, I took concert footage and turned it into a halftone motion piece - pulling frames from an artist mid-performance into a scrapbook-style compilation, with that classic dot-pattern texture layered across each one. There's something about halftone that feels so analog, so tactile, and I wanted to see if that texture could hold up in motion.

Process: 👉🏻 Sourced frames from my concert footage 👉🏻 Applied a halftone treatment to each one 👉🏻Aimed for a stop-motion style, frame by frame, letting the texture build alongside the movement

Halftone feels like a small rebellion - grainy, imperfect, hand-made (or at least made to look that way).

What's a texture you'd want to see in motion? Drop it below 👇🏻

Great job Moserrat! Love the colors and your process insight. I have found that reducing the frame rate to something like 8 or 10 helps push the style and adds realism, another thing is making all keyframes in the "hold" state, to remove easing and stay true to the "stop-motion"...
