It’s Bumpin’ Time!

MootroidXProductions perfectly captures the frustration of a set bump (hey, that’s the name of the blog!) in this short animation.

Unlike most animations featured on this blog, “The Animator’s Anguish: A true story of animation’s trials” does not prominently feature LEGO pieces, the main characters are a Mega Bloks / Mega Construx figure, an SH Figuarts action figure, and some sweet cosplay. Mostly I blogged this so that the follow sentence would be true:

The Set Bump, a blog about animation, blogged an animation about an animator experiencing a set bump while animating an animator experiencing a set bump while animating.

My life is now complete.
