The roller coaster

todo: Insert video

This was another part of our fair ground exhibition. The kids from Pyramid helped me make a fantastic stop frame animation of us all on a roller coaster.

We started off by making a roller coaster car and photographing ourselves in it. We then took those photos and made cut-outs from them. The group had painted a wonderfully chaotic looking roller coaster ride and we places the cut-outs on this.

It took about a hundred photos to do this animation. I had a little team of people in a corner doing this in shifts while the rest of the group got stuck into the rest of the project.

When we showed this at Chapel Allerton Festival we made a little video box for it, with a big red button that you pressed to start it off. That little extra element of interaction, made it that bit more exciting for people. It was great to see people enjoying it and the kids from the group being proud that they'd made it.
