Wiggling Hands
This is me both trying my hand at the "Whiteboard Explainer" genre of video, and making fun of its ubiquity.

The inspiration was an Elance job posting that requested that the whiteboard be drawn "live" and my first reaction was, "I don't think I can draw that fast."

Of course, what they really meant was they wanted to show the process of drawing, rather than superimposing a wiggling hand on a pre-drawn image. My video contains a little bit of both.

Fabjingr is, of course, the name of a crowd-sourced-cloud-based-drone-popsicle-delivery solution.

Role: animator

I lost it when I saw 'wiglin'. We've all been there, that moment when we have to give one of the g's a pink slip. There's just no room for you here, g.

I would like to see a Wiglin Hands production explaining the process of making these. Because I'm thinking of ripping off Khan Academy style to make some continuing training videos at work, and it looks harder than it looks, if that makes any sense.
