Workshop Week at TAFE

Workshop week is a time to try something new. The usual path is deviated from and we throw ourselves into the deep end of some strange and fascinating new methods of mark making. Sometimes old, sometimes new, sometimes borrowed and sometimes blue (that's the cyanotype workshop)

The workshop I conducted with Clare Weeks was all about making a time lapse animation. We had a lovely group of eager participants. The process can be time consuming but our group dove in head first and came up smiling. Several hundred images later and each member of the group had a completed animation by the end of the day. Some of which are displayed below for your enjoyment.

TVET Animation

During term two of the TVET photography course we did a project involving stop motion animation. This process involves capturing a sequence of images of something happening and stitching them together to create a continuous motion animation. The number of images usually starts between 60 - 300 (one of the students shot 2000 images for her animation)

Below are two examples of the work done by this creative group of high school students.
