Wine Corks Stop-Motion Animation
For my linear story, I decided to make up a cute little story about highlighters after I was using them to color code my to-do list. I wanted to come up with a cute, quirky story that would bring up together-ness and unity in a time with so much hate in the world. My goal was to make people of all ages smile when they would watch this stop-motion :)






I originally had a lot of trouble coming up with a non-linear story...then I was driving and saw a balloon flying around in the sky which inspired this story. I thought about how upsetting it was to lose a balloon as a child and how great it would be to be reunited with it. I wanted this to be another light-hearted fun story for people of all ages.




My Mom has been collecting wine corks for years, so when I was thinking about what I could possible use for this test project, the corks came right to mind! I had a lot of fun with this and am looking forward to making my story come to life :)

My Very Own Animated GIFs!

Animated GIFs For my first GIF, I made a clock with a moving minutes hand through Photoshop's frame animation. I have taken two motion graphics classes in my undergrad, however, they were a few years ago so this was a great refresher for me! I think both the frame animation and video timeline features on Photoshop are a great way to create a quick, fun GIF. I have never played around with onion-skinning before, so this was super fun for me to create! I love to draw and paint so making this made me feel as though I was actually making my animation come to life! I'm excited to keep messing around with it! I was nonchalantly chewing gum while making my other two GIFs...which gave me the idea for this one! I drew the images in Adobe Illustrator and then used Photoshop's frame animation again to enlarge the bubble!

1. Tetris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0LtUX_6IXY&feature=youtu.be I feel so lucky that this was the first stop animation that I came across. I'm so blown away by this and actually forgot I wasn't really watching or playing a game of Tetris...I felt the stress and anxiety to move the pieces to the correct place. Amazing! 2. Human Skateboard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtbQ4J3RfQ8&feature=youtu.be This one was super cool and clearly must have taken hours to make...I'm stunned at how they had him hanging of the edge of the curb! 3. Lego https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHvb_3TVAfA&feature=youtu.be I have watched this a few times now and still cannot believe it is all made out of Legos...people have so much patience! 4.
