Memories_Title_finite_NAOMS.gif
 
 

This animation was inspired by Charlotte “Lotte” Reiniger’s work with silhouette animation. Her animation of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel sparked my idea. Memories is based on many visits to my grandmother. I modeled in Rhinoceros 3-D (with photo reference) the characters’ silhouettes, and stylized the trees, the house and the appliances. The characters and the set were laser cut. The moveable joint connections were made with thread and I used a light table to illuminate the frames. This stop-motion animation was shown in the 2013 Winter Animation Show at Bennington College.
