Shape Shifting

Day 23: Shape Shifting

Welsh translation: Symudliw

Hello artists and friends, My name is Deirdre and I’m an artist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I work for the Black Box on a project called Express Yourself Social Cafe. We are a creative group of disabled people, who meet once a week to enjoy art and togetherness. We have fun and want to share our talents with each other and the world. We cant wait to get going on our January Challenge and hope you will join in too.

We want to play with all the things our phones can do creatively and experiment with how we can make animations ourselves. It is a good idea to do an online search on stop motion animation to get ideas from other creative people too.

Helo artistiaid a ffrindiau, Fy enw i yw Deirdre a dwi’n artist sy’n byw yn Belfast, Gogledd Iwerddon. Dwi’n gweithio i’r Black Box ar broject o’r enw Express Yourself Social Cafe. Grŵp creadigol o bobl anabl ydyn ni, sy’n cwrdd unwaith yr wythnos i fwynhau celf a dod at ein gilydd. Rydyn ni’n cael hwyl ac yn awyddus i rannu ein talentau gyda’n gilydd a’r byd. Ry’n ni’n edrych ymlaen yn eiddgar at ddechrau Her Mis Ionawr ac yn gobeithio y gwnewch chi ymuno hefyd.

Do

Create a character using kitchen foil, a toy or magazine cutouts. Place them on a surface that you like and take a photo with a phone or camera. Move the character a tiny bit and take another photo, try to keep your camera in the same position. Repeat this as many times as you want. Flick through your photos really fast and see your character come to life!

Lluniwch gymeriad gan ddefnyddio ffoil cegin, tegan neu doriadau o gylchgrawn. Rhowch y darnau ar arwyneb rydych chi’n ei hoffi a thynnwch lun gyda’ch ffôn. Symudwch y cymeriad ychydig bach a thynnwch lun arall, ceisiwch gadw eich ffôn yn yr un lle. Ewch drwy’r lluniau’n gyflym iawn i weld eich cymeriad yn dod yn fyw.

Think

Make your character do a simple action – it could be something you do each day. A smile, a nose pick, a walk, anything! It can be funny, silly or sad. You can draw or write down what you want your character to do beforehand. You can do this as often as you want or try experimenting with a free App called Stop Motion Studio. Have fun and give it a try.

Nesaf, dylai eich cymeriad wneud gweithred syml – gall fod yn rhywbeth rydych chi’n ei wneud bob dydd. Gwenu, pigo trwyn, cerdded, unrhyw beth! Gall fod yn ddoniol, yn hurt neu’n drist. Gallwch arlunio neu ysgrifennu’r hyn fydd y cymeriad yn ei wneud ymlaen llaw. Gallwch wneud hyn mor aml ag ydych chi’n ei ddymuno neu geisio arbrofi gydag Ap am ddim o’r enw Stop Motion Studio. Mwynhewch a rhowch gynnig arni.
