Minibits is a collection of 24 short animations, shuffled randomly and looping endlessly!

A friend wanted something to project onto a screen for a DJ'ing night of theirs. This idea got cancelled, but by that time i'd come up with 47 ideas for very short (5 to 10 seconds) animations! These got trimmed down, merged or cut completely, to leave the final 24.
A couple of months later, my housemate got contracted to create content for the SubTV system used in our university bar. This system turned out to have quite a lot of restrictions: As a challenge, I decided to alter my animations so they would be compatible with that system.

The MiniBits are designed to be as compatible and universal as possible. They have no sound, and are constructed entirely from vectors (no raster images embedded). There are no masks, and no alpha effects. A very small amount of the text is important: No language barrier.
