When I saw Layton and Nikita dancing the quickstep to 'Puttin' on the Ritz' on Strictly come dancing in their beige and black trousers, my mind wandered to Good Omens, (naturally). So by the time the dance finished, all I could see was Aziraphale and Crowley dancing and having the time of their lives. Which gave me an idea.
So, with nearly 400 individually drawn and coloured frames later using the rotoscoping technique, edited using free programs and an embarrassing amount of hours of work. (I have a new found respect for animators now!) here is my silly little animation! I hope you enjoy and it puts a smile on your face!
I may tidy it up in the future, or I might leave it as it is... I’m working on 4 or 5 animatics at the moment so we’ll see. Haha! Too many ideas, not enough time!

- Background from Good Omens Season 2 ‘Before the beginning’ scene
- Rotoscoped from Layton and Nikita’s dance on Strictly
One of my favorite OVA specific visual details is that the writers had Dio punch the chain off of Jotaro's jacket almost immediately so they wouldn't have to bother animating it for the entire rest of the episode.
Like it's just straight up gone, it does not come back
I wonder how long it will be until someone will be able to just feed a whole-ass live action movie through an AI and it will spit out identical movie but in different style, like, say, animated.
