Stop-motion animation by second year students in the Fanshawe College Fine Art program 2020-21

​

This presentation of stop-motion animated videos is a group project completed by Fanshawe College Fine Art second year students in their Visual Research course. Forced into an online environment by the COVID-19 pandemic, students chose to express themselves in a series of imaginative, light-hearted skits that speak to everyday situations that may go awry; a pastiche of our strange times. Using low tech equipment (cell phone cameras and audio recorders, home-made cardboard box animation stands, desk lamps, and an animation app), they have produced brief anecdotes that embrace the bespoke hand-crafted look of painted, drawn, cut-paper, and clay-based animation.
