Animation Experimentation (Growing Pattern).....

I decided to test how I would give the impression of my pattern growing round the walls in my experimentation using electrical tape. The pattern I wanted to create is based on the shapes on a circuit board. This will give an added electrical element to my animation.

I decided to create the pattern first and then I could just take of parts of it to create the stop motion. The pattern I settled on was.......

I then set up my camera and began the painstaking job of removing around 2cm on each of the strands of tape and photographing the image each time I did so. Although this way was easier than adding tape each time it was still a long task. 

3 hours later this was the outcome.....

This came out better than I expected and so I added the music I wanted on my animation to see how well it worked......

I am happy with this but due to the size of my overall pattern I wanted to have a look at other ways of animating the pattern which takes a bit less time.....
