OPEN DOOR with Studio 3 - Moving Images

Session 8 

9.1.13

This session, Ian G. said he was learning to be a director, and about timing, and realised how difficult all this was for one person to do on their own (as he normally did). “This is the most adventurous animation I have ever done”. He saw how helpful it was to be able to talk through ideas with other people and what you need to make decisions on.

The funniest bit was Elaine acting out the dog’s part – something she didn’t expect to be doing!


We viewed Paul’s work animated as a simple slide dissolve film. Paul did some more drawings of the figure walking the dog (really him walking his dog ‘Gypsy’). He said it was quite repetitive doing variations on the same drawing over and over, but he enjoyed it.

Ian S. had never painted with acrylics before but found that painting was a bit more like drawing with a brush rather than a pencil. John had a go at drawing on the ipad with Rozi after she had done an ipad drawing version of his pastel landscape and shown him how it looked.

Howard worked on another stop motion walk cycle with his Woodcutter: “once you get going, its quicker than you expect”.

It was agreed that the project “is going really well – its quite exciting!”
