Stop Frame Animation for Wassails
Primary school children learnt how to create simple stop frame animations using a combination of: black card, split pins, a simple animation app and a lot of imagination. Children were asked to create moving image sequences that made a connection with the ancient tradition of Wassailing, apples and orchards. The sequences were projected onto local pubs and farm buildings.
These projections were made as part of Richard’s role as Creative Technologist working on Ignite Somerset, a project managed by Somerset Film and funded by Arts Council England.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/240376550″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

The Journey
Commissioned by Art for Life (Taunton and Somerset NHS). This project provided an opportunity for patients on the Children’s Ward of Musgrave Hospital to get creative with stop-frame-animation. Children used a simple stop frame application loaded onto an iPad. The portable nature of the project made it more accessible, the activity could literally take place at the patient’s bedside.
The journey is the story of two young children who are parted because one has to go on a long train journey. The traveller encounters all sorts of strange and wonderful worlds through their train window.

Bluetonium (excerpt)
A short sci-fi film made with children and young people in Bridgwater.
A radio broadcast alerts residents of strange lights appearing in the sky. The following day an explosion in the school yard shakes the pupils awake. The pupils, led by Mr Bude, go out to investigate. They see the massive crater and “foolish Mr Bude” touches the blue gooey stuff, here the adventure begins.
A project that gave participants an insight into the filmmaking process, from honing their acting skills to shooting a scene. Facilitated by Richard Tomlinson and managed by Somerset Film.
