After the motion graphics workshops I have participated in this year for process and production, I have wanted to push myself further. I have learned some useful techniques in the animation workshops, and off my own back when trying to produce more motion graphic pieces.
I have joined an extracurricular group called Motion Go, which is made up of a collection of students that are interested in completing projects in their own time in order to improve our portfolios and learn new skills in the Adobe suite.
Sara managed to get us a live brief with an art supplies shop in town called Calder Graphics. I was very excited for this opportunity as it would allow me to work with a product of my choosing that the shop has to offer. After having a meeting with Stuart (The owner of Calder Graphics) about the ideas that we had as individuals and a collective, I chose to focus on Posca Colouring paint pens.
An area of animation that I wanted to try out was stop motion, as I have seen some spectacular results created from the frame to frame process. This would allow me to work with cameras in the photography studio and test how speedy I could be creating a whole project from start to finish in one day.

This is my final piece. I am pleased with the outcome and believe it has helped in improving my animating skills through the processes I used in order to complete the project.
