Can we see a wire?

It's not a retro looking bomb with a fuse going off is it?

[art]

The file name suggests its an explosion of some kind. It is an exploding coconut?

[cagey5]

I based my theory on this.

Glad you chipped in, I was about to say a hippo sock puppet in a pink 'Marlowe style' detective outfit.

A duck.

[blacksmith]

A black thing with purple things with extreme DoF!

[Oliver]

A duck.

:D
Is it made out of wood?

[shrox]

A Tootsie Pop whose chocolate center has suddenly converted to molten lava?

[hrgiger]

A total misuse of motion blur?

[cagey5]

:) I make a better detective than an animator. So, do we get to see the whole shot?

[akademus]

Is it rendered yet?

[Bog]

Not with that amount of moblur ;)

[adamredwoods]

Yes, you are now committed to show us a work-in-progress animation.

not totally happy with it. some pieces end up in strange positions, like standing on the narrowest tip. but i like the overall look.
