Flash Films From Glasgow’s Ferguson
David Ferguson, an animator in Glasgow, has started uploading several of his Flash-animated shorts to YouTube. His use of suggestive backgrounds and quirky character designs immediately captured my attention, and his kooky, bittersweet storytelling is quite refreshing. So many Flash animators, including myself, strive for slick, fluid animation – but Ferguson crafted his own style that’s a bit jerky, floaty and wonderfully unique. Enough gushing – onto his latest work, titled Terry Runders Kicks a Stone.
I just used the words “quirky,” “kooky,” “floaty” and “jerky” in a single paragraph. Nutty.

Quirky, kooky, floaty, jerky, and absolutely brilliant! Very funny. I’m off to Youtube to watch the others.
