Projects from BAC (Kara)

Stop motion movie (The Passive Aggressive Yarn Movie):
For this project, we had to create a stop motion movie that followed a person or object. We learned about the concept of stop motion by looking at early animation including zoetropes. Because this is a stop motion movie, it is made completely of still photographs taken on a digital camera, and then put together using computer video editing software. I chose to start my movie by focusing it on this teddy bear I had sitting on my desk. I then realized it would funny if I had all the objects attack the teddy bear Toy Story style, and it would be even funnier if it became profane. So I unraveled a bunch of yarn and moved it all over the desk, eventually having it spell out a curse word.

India-America map drawing:
One of our assignments this year was to see a movie at CAAM fest, an Asian American film festival. I decided to see an indie movie from 2015 called “Good Ol’ Boy”, a story about an Indian boy named Smith whose family moved to Oklahoma. Part of the assignment was to create a piece of art related to the movie. I chose to draw maps of the two places Smith is connected to, and show what each place means to him using words within the maps.

  1. Your motion study is very memorable! And I love the title! The use of color and color editing (is that what it’s called?) is super effective as well.
