This is a short animation completed for the third week of the Animation Bootcamp Reel Refresh Challenge, held by the School of Motion, for alumni of their Animation Bootcamp. This week’s theme was “geometry”.

In this short piece I wanted to play a common tools used in geometry: the compass. I wanted to make sure that they way I animated the compass point hitting the surface had a much harsher/sharper feel compared to the way the compass animates when it gently falls through the hole.
