ThinkMove: My Experimental Animated Music Video

So Ive just been re-realising how much FUN animation is! I havn't really done it since I was a kid and its been great fun playing with my friends iPad. Drawing directly on to a screen is where its at right?

One really fun thing you can do ( Im using a program called Animation Desk - the free version ) is record a video straight in to the program and then draw over the frames....TOO MUCH FUN!!!!

So I filmed @sazzler in our semi-deconstructed kitchen and then scribbled ALL over her face, over and over and over again - which was very therapeutic. Then I took an original track by our good friend @ewanduffus who has been smashing them out on his new op1 which is a crazy little keyboard synthesiser thing with all sorts of magical powers.
And over this track I spliced my little animation, many times, forwards,backwards, repeating, jumping until I had formed a satisfying little narrative: CHECK IT OUT:

Now I know its got some very repetitive areas, but that is ACTUALLY how I wanted it, it just felt right at the time, so Deal with it (I just hope you rode it out until the payoff at the end! :D ) Somehow it feels like it captures an essence of lifes biazarre repetitive nature and also that burning desire just to BREAK OUT of your cycles and let loose - hopefully not with any murderous results....

So there we go, animation is fun, I will be indulging in some more of this sort of thing and hopefully sharing some silly little bits of nonsense with you all.

Now here is a picture of an op1:

go check them out on youtube, its really cool what you can do with them, but they are very expensive : (
