Animation

I downloaded an app onto my iPad that can take photos that can be strung together to make a little animation. It was fir the  recent Qagoma drawing sessions with Bill Platz. It was easy and so much fun. But I can’t work out how to share the three little animated videos I made of my drawings. So will maybe have to just take a still image to put here of the three pieces I developed along with Bill Platz.

The first one is the tea cup and it’s shadow. This was based on a photograph by Olive Cotton and it is well known because of the shadows which caused her to name it Tea Cup Ballet . The cups and shadows were like dancers lined up with the handles being the arms crooked as if a hand was on their hip. So this animation had the tea cup moving across the page. The second animation is the bath tub. It was based on part of a print. The animation here was using adding and take away by erasing spots of water to look as if the shower was turned on and then off.

The third animation was from an image in a propaganda poster. The man marching with his flag was animated to wave his flag up and down and then finally fall down the hill.
