For my second studio bridge project, we were instructed to create a “flipbook” that showed a transformation of a partner we interviewed.
If I were to do this again, I would try to make the images bigger with less frames but still maintain a similar size as it is supposed to resemble a child’s toy.
I also enjoyed seeing other projects with each form being different, such as digital animations or a kaleidoscope with a moving reel, but also the stories that people told. Some of the narratives were similar to what I depicted, however, an interesting concept was depicting the question “what do you carry around with you in your bag” because objects can tell you a lot of information about a person without directly saying it.
