My Flipbook

In my flipbook I combined digital photography and drawing. I took pictures of the background before hand, which was a corner of a room that has a bulletin board and window sill. Before hand I knew that was going to draw a cartoon figure escape from his paper so I tacked up paper and string on the board. As the cartoon man escapes he is watched by two other cartoons. He climbs out of his papaer, walks along the top of the bulletin board, climbed down a string and swung to the window sill. The idea was inspired by a video clip I saw an other uarts student made where he had a morphing cartoon travel from a cup along with my first video clip I put on the blog.

Stop Motion

Directed by Gina Niespodziani. Filmed from October 2006 - April 2007, this video contains more than 2,400 unique Lite Brite images animated together by the Niespodziani Siblings. "Moviekiss" was remixed by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley) and written by Y O U (Rolling Stone's Top 25 Bands on MySpace.)

I thought the Light Bright toy was amazing when I was little and this video made me wish I had one again. I wish I had thought to do this but I wouldn't have done in it in such extreme detail. This animation was amazing, everything in the animation went along wit the background music. The creator also creatively interpreted the music and did not do it directly by the words. I really hope this was not made out of boredom because talent like this would be wasted.
