  QGIS plugin by Tim Sutton, the plugin shows how to use the QGIS Python API to create animated maps. The plugin can serve as a learning place for those who are beginning to write QGIS python applications and plugins that aims to create animated maps. The plugin doesn't use the QGIS Temporal Controller API but relies on other PyQgis API to enable users to add liveliness into maps.
