Stop frame (or stop motion) animations are a series of still images played in quick succession to give the appearance of movement. It's the technique used for Wallace and Gromit, Pingu, Morph etc. I wanted to start small, so have made two quite short animations. They're not particularly inspired or complicated, but it feels good to have made them. And more importantly, I enjoyed doing it. Yes, that's right, I enjoyed doing something creative!!!!
The first one features a flower being put back together:
And the second is a tribute to the solar eclipse from yesterday. I couldn't see much at the time as it was too cloudy, so recreated it later on with the help of an egg...
Hopefully this might be the start of a new thing for me. And that's been such a rewarding part of doing this 30:30 list over the past year - learning or doing new things, rediscovering old hobbies, feeling a sense of achievement. I'm not sure what I'm going to do once it's all over.
Amazing! That looks like a lot of fun, wonder how long it took to do each one? Hoping to see more.
