For the one day animation work shop we explored metamorphosis - where one object morphs into another object. The objects I chose were a paintbrush and a water bottle. To begin the process I thought about what the two objects have in common and I came up with droplets (water from the bottle, paint from the brush). I then tried to explore this idea in my sketch book by making preliminary sketches of the sequence to see what would work.
One I had finalised my idea I began creating it, one ‘frame’ per sheet of A3 paper. First I explored the sequence in just black and white, using a black pen, having the paint brush turn into the bottle of water.
I then incorporated colour into my sequence and also made it go backwards. I liked to use of colour, and I chose blue acrylic because it makes the most sense of water and can be used as a paint colour, however the sequence backwards didn’t make any sense.
I therefore prefer the original black and white pieces, but if I was to do it again I would spend more time to make the frames match. For example, the paint brush is a different size in some of the frames and the bottle isn’t the same shape in them all, so next time I would use tracing paper to make it exact.
