xeotrope

I don't think I've mentioned my xetrope idea. I don't know if you remember the xeotope I did for my Nicola Tesla project but basically, I took lots of photos of me in different positions and as I went throught the pics on my camera they animated themselves. Then I took the photos and wacked them into a xeotrope and they animated themselves again except not in such a good way this time. Anyway, the 1st way looked pretty cool.

The Potato Heads

I have quite a few ideas but nothing that gets me excited enough to persew. I need to pick one because time is running low and I think the one to go with might be the Potatoe Head family. I think I'd most enjoy this too. Maybe a stop frame of them dancing. Help needed!!!!!


Some other ideas

my original idea

My initial idea was the carboard thing.

I saw a viral where 4 people had made a car from cardboard. They held it up with braces, 2 of them stood in the front and 2 of them in the back. They treated the car like a real car, theytook it on roads, waited in traffic jams, took it in for an MOT, parked in a multi story carpark etc. My idea was to cover a whole room in cardboard, maybe a lounge with a television. Then as MTV came on the TV the television would jump up and start dancing. Or maybe have a room that looks completly normal but again, the furniture starts dancing.

This is obviously completly unrealistic to do in the time and I also don't know anybody willing to let me plaster their house in brown paper bags and cardboard.
So here are a few of my other ideas.............
