Ear Health Animation


Ear Health Stop Motion Animation from Bernadette Trench-Thiedeman on Vimeo.


Ear Health Stop Motion Animation - 2012

Earlier this year I was commissioned by Goolari Media to create this short 30 second stop motion educational animation for the Federal Governments ear health campaign. They gave me a song as a starting point,  I created the characters and sets using sculpy, plasticine, wire, fabric, paint, and cardboard. Shot on a Nikon d7000.

EDMUND THE OLD HOUSE
By Chris O'Brien and Bernadette Trench-Thiedeman 2012 c3 Gallery






Edmund the house lived at No. 8 Urquart St Northcote, on the banks of the Merri Creek, until he was demolished 5 years ago to make way for townhouse apartments. Edmund was a farmhouse and was built in the 1890's before Northcote had all of its roads built. Chris has been making models of Edmund, writing stories about him and animating movies with Edmund as the lead actor for the last 5 years.

This fragment of Edmund is a time machine, revealing layers of real and imagined histories, transporting people back to when 'something happened' in the front room.

Chris and Bernadette have been working together for over 3 years, sharing a passion for model making, animation, architecture, Google Sketch up and Beetlejuice.
