This animation was so much fun to do. I wanted to bring to life a saying that we don't really take literally. My purpose was to make people laugh at the play on words.

Sketches

With these sketches I obviously wanted to show that the nose was running so I made sure that I had drew diagonal lines to show movement. I also wanted to show that the snot was dripping/moving along with the nose and the nostril getting smaller when the nose would sniff. I also played around with the idea of maybe having a dust cloud coming from behind.

Draft

I received some feedback to help the movement look more natural. My draft looked like it was running on a wire, but adding an up and down movement would help it look more like the nose was running.

The fact that I animated a literal runny nose I think is pretty cool. I also think it's pretty clever and something out of the ordinary. The animation isn't perfect, but considering it's my first animation I think it turned out great!
