BRIEF: Design an animation of at least 10 seconds on the theme of the Rube Goldberg Machine (chain reaction).
CONCEPT: I merged the concept of the Rude Goldberg Machine (chain reaction), where each element leads to another, with the nostalgia of childhood. The looped animation takes place in a child’s bedroom, where he creates his own machine with his toys.
1rst floor:
The black ball, pushed by the child, travels along the xylophone, hitting the dominoes, causing one of them to fall into the truck. The truck tilts the board, activating the seesaw. The truck’s speed causes it to roll, hitting the yoyo, causing it to roll in turn. The yoyo attaches its string to the board, forming the second floor.

2nd floor:
The yoyo unwinds, presses the button and the rocket takes off. The rocket, in flight, hits the train immobilized on the circuit’s rails, then falls back to the ground. The train rolls along the tracks until it reaches the end of its course, hitting the bilboquet ball. The bilboquet falls, pressing down on the joycon of a machine equipped with grippers, moving the teddy bear into the opposite position, before releasing it into the air.

3rd floor:
The falling teddy activates a rocker, propelling a ball towards a stack of cubes. The collapse of the cubes activates the cannon, launching the dart. The dart pierces a helium balloon attached to a hammer, releasing it to strike the light bulb. Darkness ensues, followed by an unzoom, revealing the initial ball.
