This shows me taking each picture for the animation and how I had to change the carrot slightly for each photo.

Experimental Animation
This is an experimental animation I shot before I shot my carrot one, I did this as practice before I shot my important animation. It shows balls rolling onto the screen and then morphing into the word animation.
Stop motion animation photos
These are each photo I took of my carrot to make my Gif. I had to slightly move the carrot in each photo to give it a smooth movement look. I used a white back ground so it would be easy to edit the carrot out of the pictures for the gif. I also used a tripod and big light so the lighting was the same in every picture and so the camera was steady and always in the same place.
Making of carrot character
In a workshop I learnt how to make characters to make an animation with. I built the interior of the character out of wire and sponge then I covered in in plasticine and shaped it and added detail to it to make it look like a carrot.
character reaction GIF comp
What makes things a lot easier, is that there are basically only 8 primary emotional responses to choose from, one of which will definitely always do the job—at least according to Robert Plutchik‘s psychoevolutionary theory of emotion and his classification of their universal expressions: #anger, #fear, #sadness, #disgust, #surprise, #anticipation, #trust, or #joy.
As a proof of concept, Pictoplasma asks you to pick one of Plutchik’s basic Emotions and turn it into an universal reaction GIF: a short looping animation that adds character to the discussion and can be posted as final response whenever words fail…
AS A PROOF OF CONCEPT, PICTOPLASMA ASKS YOU TO:
✔️ Pick one of Plutchik’s basic Emotions…
✔️ … and animate it as a reaction GIF, showing your character REACTING according to the chosen emotion (for example, your character should not simply be angry, but REACT angry)
✔️ GIFs should have a square ratio 1:1 (with min. 800 x 800 pixels)
✔️ Upload to Pictofolio, add the tag #CharacterReactionGIFs and let us know the primary emotion you’ve chosen in the about section.
✔️ Deadline for submissions is March 15, 2019
Artist Instagram
I have linked my artist instagram to my website. My instagram will be an easy way to keep people update with the work I am creating and to keep my work relevant as I can post often. As Ive been creating work I’ve posted teaser stories of the work to interest and excite people into what I am doing.
