From an afternoon recital:
My haiku is wrong
I miscounted syllables
What do I do now?
What's with airline food?
Salsbury steak and carrots?
It sucks! Who's with me?
Sadly, I cannot take credit for the drawing below. I did put it in motion, however, after figuring out something about pivoting in Quartz Composer: "Origin" controls on the XYZ axes change the centre point of an image, meaning that you can orient rotation pretty easily and therefore pass control values up through the chain without too much trouble. Then you can keep the template around for re-use in proper Hanna Barbera style.
Audio stolen from The Heckling Hare and possibly the greatest sequence ever put on film.
