I was recently thinking more about different types of animation and decided to experiment with the type of stopmotion known as pixilation, where photos of people are used, and then often drawn on top of. As a 'trailer' for the blog, and an interesting thing to have on my Welcome page, I thought I'd do a pixilation looking at different things you could find on the blog. Mostly, of course, it was just another way to experiment with different mediums.
Before I started, I wrote down a list of things I'm interested in, and different ways to present it. Of course, this being a blog, quite a lot of typing is involved, so that seemed like a good place to start. I used a lot of text in this short, with a lot of varied fonts: I love expressing themes using something as simple as a typeface...
It's hard to convey different ideas, using just my face and one hand but I was really pleased with the outcome of the next few ones: the little bookworm coming out my ear, coughing and blowing out singing notes, my imagination coming out in book pages, and painting a mustache on my face... 
One of the most fun things to do was holding my own blog pages in my hand, and it kind of embodies technology for my generation: I am able to take a photo of me, use my ipad to place a screenshot of my blog full of my ipad pieces on my hand, whiz it around a bit using stopmotion, and place it in a little animation available on youtube! We have a lot to thank Tim Berners-Lee for...
Anyway, stop listening to me babbling on about the work behind it, and click play! Stay tuned to see more of my experiments in animation...
