True 8-bit Colour Cycling


I have made a few .gifs to showcase the animations, however I would recommend anyone to view the website linked above, or even the youtube compilation below


Mark Ferrari has been involved game development since the late 80s, producing two-dimensional limited palette environments. During his career he has developed a process of animation which does not require manual frame-by-frame manipulation, rather the process makes use of colour-cycling to create the illusion of movement.






I find these animations particularly evocative of their fantastical environments, each communicates an individual atmosphere with the use of minimal movement and lighting changes.
