STOP MOTION
From 2018 to 2019 I got funding from the Minnesota State Arts Board to research stop-motion animation techniques, specifically pertaining to armatures. I wrote five blog entries about the project which you can read here. Below is a list of resources that I found especially useful and/or inspirational during that research project.
