Squigglevision




Compared with Traditional Animation , Squigglevision is relatively fast and easy to produce. The non-stop motion of the "squiggling" outlines reduces the need for more complex animations in order to make a scene feel dynamic; however, some may find the technique irritating. Tom Snyder describes the result as "economy of motion". "There are almost no disadvantages," Snyder asserts. "It costs just as much to do a helicopter Scene as it does to do a Living Room scene."

In order to create the line oscillation effects that characterize Squigglevision, Tom Snyder Productions' animators loop five slightly different drawings in a sequence called a ''flick''. The animators then operate software from Avid Technology to merge the flicks into the scene, and synchronize them with the Soundtrack .
