Visually breathtaking computer generated art piece

This work is completely computer generated and is beautifully crafted. It may be a bit long to show the entire work to your students, but certainly watch the entire video yourself and choose parts to share with your students. Be sure to watch it in full screen mode.

"How it would be, if a house was dreaming"



The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture - the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers "Galerie der Gegenwart". Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves - describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.

Playful stop motion

This animation has a different aesthetic, with a quirky story. Notice how incredibly smooth the animation is. This is a good example to show students in comparison to other stop motions seen on the blog, because it has such a different feel. It stimulates a great discussion on what makes it different.

Stop Motion with Legos

Legos are a fun idea for stop motion. Many of your students will have them at home. This video is a little long, but there are some really great parts you can use for reference. I also think the theme of classic video games for this animation is fun.

Fist Full of Fur - Stop Motion

I find this movie inspiring. In fact, I had students create a production company intro for an animated short they put together, and they were only okay with little to no guidance on my part. I would use the intro on this video as an example to students. Completely doable for them, and of a much higher quality than what they might do otherwise.

Overall this project demonstrates strong storytelling through stop motion animation, including a very clever use of dialogue.

Face-amations

The face-amation project is a fun way to have students create a sort of stop motion animation using photography and video editing. Credit goes to teacher Ian Sanders of Apex High School for this project. Check out a student example here.

Animata - Real-Time Animation

Animata is an open source tool that allows you to create real-time animation. Could be an interesting tool for performance art or for live visuals at a concert. It also gives students a sense of how character rigging works.

Amazing Stop Motion Animation

Produced by an art student at Savanah College of Art and Design, this is a truly inspiring example of stop motion animation. Watch the behind the scenes video to see how it was created using computer drawings and projections.
