BSA306, The Animal That Wouldn't Die", 11 october, 2017

Skunk Bear's animation "The Animal That Wouldn't Die" 

NPR posts animations all the time that are provocative, informative, cleverly done, and beautiful.  This animation shows one scientist's investigation into the hydra.  This production team knows how to make science fun and thrilling. 

There's this really cool chalkboard animation.  The lines look like chalk, they're erased by an invisible duster like a chalkboard would be erased, and you can see the ghost of past drawings hovering behind the hydra diagram.  

This frame is to remind me that you can still treat animation like a film and choose what's in focus and when. 

Which of these people did the animation?  And why don't they CALL it animation?
