You know you’re an art student when your shiny package of 36 glue sticks finally arrives and you get excited…
Anyway, new plan: Use a famous song, with a less obvious storyline as the base for my stop motion animation. I’m thinking Boomtown Rats, I don’t like Mondays… should be fun to play about with a black key glissando on the piano for the start of the film… :)
So after making sure the cat wasn’t around, (or more precisely tempting her outside with tasty treats) I started work on a school playground… (see pictures) So far I have a slide and a base of 2 schools (little and big) which need some twiddly bits.
I think I might have to make multiples of each object so I can do a more dramatic ‘zoom in’ to the scene. Only problem with that is I tend to get carried away with improving the prop design, until supposed replicas of the same item look rather different. I guess a better plan would be to start with the small scale model and then do improvements to the bigger one so as it zooms in, the viewer can magically see more detail… like the bigger school has an extra room for instance ;)
