Media Art: Interactive Animation

This week our animation challenge is to merge real life with animation and make it interactive.  The video above by Hombre McSteez Aka Marty Cooper is a great example of how it night be done using just a few plastic animation cells and some markers.  Below is another great example from street artist Blu and artist David Ellis which is equally as impressive but totally different.  The idea here is to bring your own unique creative idea to the interactivity so think about it and have it completed and posted using the hasttag #needlesclass on Vine or YouTube by Monday!

Digital Media: Type Design with Photoshop
