more ideas

I made some experimental background animations with the intention of using them as background trials. They didn't really work as there weren't enough of them and they weren't taken from exactly the same place, but they did give me ideas for doing stop motion background, or maybe use a model for the plant using this method.





So for next time I will try making a model/plant about 15 cm high? and pull it out of the ground about 50mm at a time, which 30 movements should make about 3 seconds. I would also like to try a similar thing with tissue paper on a lightbox if I get time and choose between the two.

trying a stop-motion idea

I tried some small backgrounds using photos of bulbs emerging in springtime. They didn't really work because they are not taken from exactly the same point and there were not enouigh of them but it gave me the idea for a stop motion attempt.

I am considering making an animation using the basic idea of a seed/blob growing into a character/person. Use mandrake shapes? seasonal? phases? As seed grows, it harbours all sorts of other creatures too, where place was bleak and barren before.

Research for plant animation ideas.

This one looks very simple to do. I like the use of a seed moving against a drawn background which looks simple to set up. I may use a model for the seed/person against an illuminated glass-based background.

this one has a sense of humour :)

With this one I can imagine using tissue paper and/or watercolour/ink for background on glass box. Or maybe for a model.
