Due: Tuesday, March 26, 2013

Develop two looped-time-based pieces. The first must be a stop-motion (David Crawford) and the second a seamless animated gif (cinemagraph).

The animations must use the same footage. You must try to present the same message in both animations while making the most of each technique.

The point of the project is to explore and compare the aesthetics of stop-motion vs. seamless movement.

Each animation cannot be longer than 5 seconds. You will find that for the stop-motion you will need about 1 or 2 seconds. For the cinemagraph you may need about five seconds or less.

The animations must be critical of one (or more) of the following subjects:

1) Politics (including the economy/labor)
2) Advertising/
3) Issues of gender difference or race/ethnicity/diversity
4) Art/Design
