These Animations are created by the illustrator/ animator Carolina melis

This is my attempt at using istop motion! not perfect, but im quite pleased with the finished product. Using some elements i created from over the summer. I mainly researched dolls so i had alot of dolls limbs that i had cut in different possitions to work with. This was only supposed to be 30 seconds long but i got a bit carried away. The figure was supposed to move in a way chosen from a list of words given so i chose dancing.

Vladimir Sulyagin

To begin my animation I started off using silouetes of arms, legs, hands and feet cut out from paper. I was notified by eleanor of an artist named Vladimir Sulvagin who works in a loose collage style called paper spirits and immediately fell in love with his way of capturing the characters of people just using simple bits of paper in a very minimalistic approach. He only uses a very limited amount of colour on each piece.
