Please use this day to share your favourite smears to show it hasn't gone out of fashion! https://twitter.com/annocinema/status/924116584028884992?s=19

Have fun everyone!
The term Outline Distortion was coined by the Twitter user Anno Cinema on the 28th October 2017.

He described it as "conveying speed in a 12fps environment."

Since then, some people have affectionately nicknamed smears with that name! Which is why we have #OutlineDistortionDay.
