With a fire for animation now lit in my belly, I wanted to have some fun and explore digital frame animation.
What types of motion could one express through the use of simple movements, minimal frames and playful shapes? This project is also an outlet to explore the emotions that come with learning news things - excitement, stagnation, frustration and finally, growth.
Through fun, bright colours and organic, elastic shapes I let my curiosity run free into the realm of motion, one hand-drawn frame at a time.

TEXT & SHAPES

TEXT & SHAPES
The use of hand-drawn text as shapes creates a sense of freedom and playfulness that I couldn’t otherwise express through established, fixed fonts. Hand drawing the individual letters allowed for me to play with weight, balance and buoyancy adding yet another layer to the playful, childlike experience of learning new things.
I enjoyed experimenting with a variety of different shapes, both organic and more structured, even shapes to see how the shapes themselves influenced their available movement within a space. Layering different colour shapes on top of each other and staggering their movement every so slightly adds even more depth to simple hops, jumps and bounces within minimal frames as well as making the movements more energetic and engaging to watch.

LIQUID & FLOW

LIQUID & FLOW
Gaining an understanding of fluid in motion and the flow of substances was a really satisfying process to explore. The slow slurp and swirl of a contained liquid versus the splash and splatter of a spill or clash was challenging but rewarding - understanding the weight, balance and timing of liquid and how gravity works it’s magic in the rise and fall of an action in motion with the ever present inertia in mind.

Overall this project allowed me to explore the fun, energetic playfulness that comes from learning a new skill through the medium of digital frame animation - a skill that I hope to utilise and develop for years to come.
