Stop-motion animation
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
As The Leonardo susses out its exhibit plans, the staff are talking more about how to interest visitors with what happens inside the museum beyond just a static, "typical" museum experience. When we try different applications, workshops and exhibits, one thing we keep coming back to is stop-motion animation.
In a workshop back in February 2008, we did a short stint with some stop-motion animation cameras. These were a HUGE hit with visitors of all ages, to put it mildly, both back then and in a few events since then. And it appears that the art form is making a bit of a mainstream come-back as well. It's been great to uncover little gems, and to see animation become a creative vehicle in ways that the Wallace and Gromit of my childhood didn't quite capture.
This run-away YouTube hit by Oren Lavie is incredibly whimsical. Guaranteed* to melt your insides. (*almost)
MUTO from blu on Vimeo, is a little disturbing, a little pretty, and totally fascinating. Technically this is a wall-painted animation, rather than stop-motion, and it boggles my mind to consider the work and planning that went into this.
Finally, I love this designer's interpretation of a deadline (and it's a bit how I feel at the moment with the Arts Festival installation rapidly approaching!).
