Idea #4: Man is running from an over-zealous female stalker. He turns his head to look over his shoulder, trips over a rock, falls flat on his face, gets back up and runs away. I particularly like this one. I referenced the run cycle from Richard Williams' The Animator's Survival Kit page 177. I added the head turn, the trip, the faceplant and getting back up. If I decide to do this one, I will have to record myself or someone else brave enough to attempt this action.

The Prisoner (Trailer) from Adrien Deggan on Vimeo. All the walls are removable to allow easy access for the camera. I built them out of thin plywood, shaped foam, stones from the beach and lots of plaster and paint. For the detail in the foam I used a hot iron to carve it out. That was a lot of fun however I would suggest doing this outdoors. The fumes are really unpleasant. The door I made out of rough cedar and the hings out of hammered out nails. The rust is authentic. I simply added some acid to accelerate the process. Detail of the prisoner's bed made from a piece of burlap and dried grasses. You can see on the edge the iron grating I used for the ground. This enabled me to place earth magnets (really strong magnets) underneath the set to anchor the puppet's feet in place. Detail of the graffiti on the cell wall.
My first personal study in cel, or hand drawn animation. This piece was both illustrated and animated by me, for the first assignment in the MoGraphMentor course taught by @henrique barone
Templates for a project that combines art, science and engineering, students create their own zoetrope and animation! These templates make the project go a little more smoothly if you have a large group, or if you don't want the focus to be on measuring and cutting! For full tutorial with images visit: https://bit.ly/2tYiLLj Please note, this is not a age-specific activity, but will work best with 4th grade and up. Includes template to cut the main ring of the zoetrope and animation strips.
