I suspect there are easier ways to work on animation. Distance is one of the themes of my project so it might be an idea to film the animation from further away. Something for another day.

Planning the next sequence of animation. It's the return of the bread as trees, plus twigs severed from trees by nesting magpies.

What started as an animation experiment has become my main project... I’m using the original image and adding additional images, illustration and animation to act as a backdrop to a live twitter feed, displaying for an instant what people are saying on the subjects of woods, forests, trees, glaciers... sometimes appropriate sometimes less so. It’s work in progress as I continue to add to it - thinking of other sounds, making the animation react more to external factors, multi-screen display.

The opening image is a photograph taken in February 2019 of Gullfoss, a waterfall in Iceland on a river fed by melt water from the Langjokull glacier.

Experimenting with hand drawn stop motion animation. This is 130 frames animated by an small app I’ve written and run on my laptop. The played animation is then recorded with some commercial screencast software.
