Animation

Once ideas have been brought to life – it sometimes becomes necessary to make them move!

There are different methods of animation on show here: Line drawing, puppet, stop motion – all with their upsides and downsides…

It runs through all we do

This animation was created for the ALT annual conference, by animating a previously created artwork. It’s a mixture of stop-motion animation (the paint-strokes at the start) and manipulation of artwork layers.

Sunflower on the dock of a bay

This animation uses puppet animation. Once a character puppet is built (in this case, the sunflower) creating scenes that feature the character are much easier to construct.

OERxDomains21 Bumpers

The OERxDomains21 conference was a fully online conference for the OER community, and it’s creative community focus was a perfect match for the Cable TV aesthetic we were able to give it. Here a few bumpers we created from the original artwork to weave together individual sessions on the programme.

TEDx Storytelling

In November 2021, Bryan gave a very visual talk at TEDxGalway: People tell stories; Stories paint pictures. Each part of the talk was complimented by an animated drawing which slowly evolved as he spoke. This essentially uses a frame-by-frame stop-motion technique.
