100 Frames: The A-Z of London

100 Frames, it is the name of a new participatory animation project. The idea is to produce beautiful and short animations in 100 images. A simple and effective rule, which allow you to focus on the quality of  the work. 
To make sure your animation is approved, the rules are simple: "Firstly, each creation must be no more than 100 frames of animation. Secondly, it must be funny. Thirdly and most importantly, it must be artistic and beautiful."

Originally this project include Fraser Davidson and Simon Tibbs for animation. They are assisted by Dan Jones for writing, and by Samuel Morgan for the sound design. All produced by Matthew Harvey.
