This is a rough version of how my animation will play out. I hadn't collected my image references by the time I did this, so forgive me if the images look a little off. The way I want my animation to run is to have a horizontal line constantly going across the the frame. This line will be 'shake-y' like my creature animation, as in that I'll draw two or three frames for each lingering image. By this I'll be using a light box, but I won't explain that process yet. I'll show my development with it in one of the next blog posts.
As the line lingers and the duration of the broadcast plays, images will morph themselves from the line upwards. Each image will appear whenever their name is mentioned, such as the telegraph and telephone. These images will also linger for some time too, so I will apply the same method as with the straight line. The gradual morphing drawings will consist of about 5 or 6 frames. These will then reverse back into the line again when the next subject arises. Here is a test example of what I am explaining:

See how the globe moulds out of the line and then sinks back into it? That's how the animation will appear. When the image lingers, I will add something to make parts of it flash as it goes from frame to frame. Now I just need to use my image reference to begin drawing out what I want the images to look like.
