Swing-Movement project

Movement project. Starting off the group research of the movement swing, we realised it was a powerful movement with energy, and there was a main axis from which a object moves about. From initial research, my group brainstormed ideas for what should the film be like, initially we were going to use drawings and paper cut-outs it also had spiderman and George of the Jungle but advice from a tutor said that the object should be abstract, really enforce the movement and refrain from using people. With this in mind we decided on chalk animation, simple, effective, black and white and leaving a trail of the movement when rubbed out. We gathered at my place, set up 3 chalk boards (hand-made by Dom :D) and a SLR on a tripod. Starting off slow we soon gain momentum as our ideas picked up.  The song we used was from the movie Matilda if you didnt realise. Heres the final animation, hope it makes you laugh and happy.
