I chose to animate L because few people did it, and it does not have Bezier curves which I have a lot of trouble with. I initially tried to animate 9, but it was too curvy for me.

I decided to approach anitype by thinking of the letters as shapes, and that turned into how L would move if it was a creature. Hence, I decided to animate it awkwardly attempting to move, then falling down. My original design has the legs move in a more wheel-like motion, and has it attempt to climb the wall. After I started working, I realized that the one second time constraint made that not really possible, so I decided to go for a more traditional walk. So I did not end up with my original intended design, but it was too unfeasible anyway.

My favorite Anitype is this asterisk. Its movement is memorizing, makes me want to stare at it for hours.
