We started with a lot of ideas, including the simple idea of a circle changing size and colour. We also thought about a sun, with its rays rotating and growing. However, we decided instead to challenge ourselves and began to think of more difficult ideas. We first came up with the idea of creating a fountain using card, and the developed that into a more complex idea to make the loop more interesting. Using card shapes to inspire us, we decided on Jets of water leaving a tap, hitting the ground and bouncing away. As the water hits the ground, grass starts to grow and follows the water in a wavelike motion.
I worked in a group with Rob M, Rob S and Tash. I think we worked really well as a group because we all contributed with different ideas on how to improve the piece. To produce the work, we cut out lots of card into specific shapes and attached them to the wall in our chosen corridor. We had a bit of difficulty getting the look we wanted with the water, and so we adjusted the camera angle to fit. I learnt alot from this project because I was able to see how much planning has to go into looped stop motion technique. Overall i was really happy with the finished video because it displayed the technique and our ideas, whilst also showing that we had considered the key elements that made the loop effective.
