“Trash”

FRAME-BY-FRAME ANIMATION

MA Graphic Arts 2021 – “Creative Histories” – 60 Second Motion Design

The brief was to create a 60-second animation, video, or stop-motion project based on our creative identity and influences; our values, development of practice, and aspirations. The project timeline was 4 weeks.

Mid-lockdown, my creative solace was my daily walks in my local park; observing the playful nature of the local crows, and their flourishing personalities in the absence of constant human presence. The ideas of different perspectives, challenging negative tropes, and personalisation of misrepresented characters in a playful manner drove my storyboarding and final animation.
