"The Big Jig"

Move your feet.

Fourteen different animators show what dancing means to them in this fun piece out of Seed Animation Studio. As a pulsing dance track sets the tone, a colourful cast of movers, shakers, and boppers show what the queue at the bar is missing out on.

Those already with drink in hand have mixed fortunes, as it goes. One reveller is caught in a loop as she tries to keep her glass full, while another has mastered the static boogie. Many a festivalgoer will empathise with the bloke who's partied just too hard, as well.

It's those with free hands and feet (bar the odd walking stick) that steal the show, however. Whether it's a pensioner on an arcade dance machine or a security guard in front of a festival crowd, this 2D medley reminds us it's good to bust a move - with or without an audience.
