Traditional
I never though I’d like traditional animation (though when I used to think about it I really only thought of cell animation) but when some animators from Big Idea (The maker’s of Veggie Tales) came to teach at my school I quickly learned how fun and effective it can be. I’ve included examples of my stop motion, cut-out puppet, and sand work. I’ve also done some drawn animation (though never cell), clay on glass, and charcoal. One of the things I’ve been experimenting with a lot lately though is mixing traditional animation in with other forms of animation or even live-action. In “The Existential Predator” and my DVD Intro I included crayon animation along with the other elements. I’ve been experimenting in crayon animation a lot lately and I’m planning on my next traditional animation to be in crayon.
