Here! Here's a chicken for you

Not directly tarot related, but a short side-project: This is a mini animation I made for a conference I was on a couple weeks ago, where I spoke about the relationships between queer bodies and fairy tale creatures like changelings and goblins. (The text is a poem my mother used to sing for me, which was originally by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The song is called “Chazin’s Serba”, by Elie Rosenblatt and Pete Rushefsky)

I'm taking a class in paper cut out stopframe animation but I made this for fun outside of it in like one evening I literally had one class and was like : time to make the best thing I've ever made. It was like I was touched by the ghost of a really talented garbage collector. Finally I have a way of justifying why I hoard newspapers.

The song is Pet Body by Miya Folick

Motion Arcs and Appeal in Monty chasing a Butterfly

While I was animating, I superimposed translucent coloured lines under my frames to aid understanding of the motions arcs I wanted Monty and the butterfly to follow. The reason for this was it allowed me to create a smooth and appealing sequence of motions by following the predefined lines rather than think of the positioning of the character frame by frame. This I believe was successful as it resulted in three curved fluid motions.

ME AS A LEGO FIGURE

Stop frame animation

This  is a little Christmas film that I created for one of our clients. Such was the love care and attention that we lavished on it, that we even had the models sculptured out of paper before we then took them into CGI.

At long last, the film that's kept me busy for the past three weeks is finished and uploaded!

The brief was to make it 30 seconds long, keep it lo-fi (deliberately rough around the edges), and to make something that would make people either laugh or learn. Since I'm a bit of a nerd about dog breeds, I made the first in a hypothetical series of educational shorts, which contains a few interesting facts about the Poodle as well as an incredibly cheap and dirty but too-good-to-miss pun at the end.

The thumbnail makes it look very poor quality, but the actual video looks much better. That said, the camera is extremely jerky in places because it was shot on a phone camera with no tripod of any kind, so brace yourself for a motion sickness-like sensation, as well as narration by someone who's very obviously not a professional voice-over artist. But it's all part of the "lo-fi" vibe, so I hope you enjoy it!
