WHEN STOP MOTION GIVES LIFE TO FOUND OBJECTS

What if a city could be animated with real characters?

Design students tend to spend a lot of time indoors, sketching on paper and screens. So I gave them a challenge to get outdoors – create magic from the mundane: discarded bottles, broken tables, chairs, tarpaulin sheets, anything from the dregs of the city. The students collaboratively created a quirky new cityscape from scrap, where real people animated this assembled world.

“Ruchi’s workshop was an enjoyable one in which students were able to appreciate nuaces of using objects and themselves to create an animated piece.”
