2D animation made on a bus

This brilliant short film was made on a Bus by young people in Bristol working along side Helen Hewitt, who works for Animation For Education.

The technique is simple and effective and took only a day to complete, working with one laptop, camera on a tripod, I Can Animate and iMovie.

The project was funded by the fire service and their objective was to raise awareness around fire safety with young people.

Sketch out simple ideas around fire safety.

Create the art work using plain white card and a thick black maker.

Decide on features that will be animated.

Set up kit, so camera on tripod is pointing down ( As a rostrum camera would) towards

the art work, blu tak is required to keep back ground still and clean hands help.

Notice in the film that only a few features are animated at a time, this makes it very

watchable as well as close shots with the camera draw the audience in.
