# ⌐◨-◨ ANIMATE NOUNS ⌐◨-◨

## tl;dr

Animate your noun with a wide range of cool glasses animations or commission an artist for bespoke animation

## Proposal


## Video Prop

Would like to watch and hear about the proposal in just 2 minutes 38 seconds? Here is [Vimeo video](https://vimeo.com/715356326) for you!

## What?

A website where you can animate your noun. With interesting eyes and glasses animations(5+). And other types of animations that can automatically be applied to all nouns.

For example:


You can select the current noun id for animating, select one by traits or have a random one made for you!

As the result, you can save the GIF file with looping animation.

### Bespoke

If you want cool bespoke full noun animation, like these*:


Then we have a directory with different artists that can make that for you.

Browse their sample works, check their commission rates and contact them via our easy to use form or social.

Application to be featured in the directory will be open for all artists but will involve some curation to ensure good quality of work. For example, you will need to provide 4-8 different animated nouns, so we can check that you are good at work (and this will also be used as an artist's work showcased on the website).

## Why?

Nouns themselves are absolute coolness, but when they are animated and alive, they are absolute fire! Just take your noun, animate it and flex in discords!

## Who?

[@ng](https://twitter.com/nikitago_). I have created the [Fomo iOS and Android mobile apps](https://fomonouns.app) with the help of Small Grants funding. Created [Most Wanted Nouns](https://mostwantednouns.netlify.app/) and have been doing some other small things here and there. I hold a CS bachelor's degree and have worked creating mobile apps, and building web applications in my free time. In the nouniverse, I also created [NounsNeedNames](https://nounsneednames.wtf/) (that I sadly had to put on hold due to lack of time)

## What more?

Functionality might be enchased with automatic noun detection and animation on the photo. Created cool noun in the playground and now want to animate it? Just upload the PNG of it and start animating.

It could also expand into other nounish projects that has glasses that can be animated.

As one of the dopest features, it may have the functionality to add animated glasses over any photo. Like [nounify](https://nounify.wtf/) website, but with animated noun glasses. Take your family photo, and make sure everyone are with glasses and blinking!

## Project Ethos

All project code will be open-sourced. If we do nounish, we do CC0.
