Facilitator: Elham Doust-Haghighi
This project is a continuation of a previous collaborative improvisation project aiming to connect people remotely and to develop a sense of belonging. In these experiments, people with different degrees of familiarity with animation gathered virtually via an online platform to animate together in a relatively short time. All the participants worked on one frame together after receiving basic instructions. The facilitator then saved the completed frame, and the team resumed drawing the image to prepare the next frame. The first experiment was to create an animation inspired by a musical piece.
The second experiment had a different approach. This time, by shortening the production time and spreading it through different meetings, it allowed the group to produce an animation with a longer duration based on a guided discussion and reflection around the theme of diversity.
Instructions
We’ll continue our online animation project. You can join this activity either in person or remotely from home. We’ll all work together on the frames. You only need a digital drawing device and an internet connection. You can draw using a stylus or your fingers. We’ll spend 45 minutes on this activity. This activity is divided into two separate weeks and even if you did not participate in the first iteration of the project you can join it now.
