Blank Project

 For the blank project, I decided to combine stop-motion animation with monoprints, photocollage, and sound. 

I aimed to be more ambitious, but I scaled back my idea. Initially, I wanted to play with a lot of textures and make different things for the background. Then I wanted to create an environment through prints. However, after I created my guide background, I felt like it would take too much time and effort to recreate because I added more details than anticipated, and I might not get the result I wanted. 

 So I used the digital background initially intended as a guide as the final product. Then I added texture through photos I took to elements in the background. It is worth mentioning that the background was inspired by linocut printing. I decided to add some prints through the animated elements.

 I would be interested to try a project like this again and instead do a variety of materials in my stop motion background; however, my break was packed, so in the end I'm happy with what I did.
