It was originally inspired by a video I saw of stop-motion tattoos, where a Montreal artist tattooed seventy-six different people with an individual frame from a scene in Betty Boop, then put the pictures back together to create the full animation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@philberge\/video\/7007468444933180677\" data-video-id=\"7007468444933180677\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@philberge\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@philberge\" rel=\"noopener\">@philberge<\/a> Finally! I made a total of 76 tattoos to create this scene from Betty Boop Snow White. A huge thank you to everyone that got tattooed for this project. <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp\" rel=\"noopener\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"tattoo\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/tattoo\" rel=\"noopener\">#tattoo<\/a> <a title=\"tattoos\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/tattoos\" rel=\"noopener\">#tattoos<\/a> <a title=\"animation\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/animation\" rel=\"noopener\">#animation<\/a> <a title=\"stopmotion\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/stopmotion\" rel=\"noopener\">#stopmotion<\/a> <a title=\"fleischerstudios\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fleischerstudios\" rel=\"noopener\">#fleischerstudios<\/a> <a title=\"cabcalloway\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cabcalloway\" rel=\"noopener\">#cabcalloway<\/a> <a title=\"fleischer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fleischer\" rel=\"noopener\">#fleischer<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c St. James Infirmary - Cab Calloway\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/St-James-Infirmary-5000000000303136308\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c St. James Infirmary &#8211; Cab Calloway<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another inspiration was this video for the song \u201cBig Funny\u201d by the band Vundabar. They only had one sticker design but put one or two on poles or walls in each city they visited on tour and it got me thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sMCKUBvYQBM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I loved the idea of a piece of art being spread around like that, but unfortunately I am not a licensed tattoo artist, so I decided to combine the two videos and do stickers of each frame. I have been into rubber hose animation lately so I also wanted that influence to come through in my project. Finally, I settled on a short animation of a boy walking and uprooting a carrot with an angry face. This gave me a chance for a bit of character design and to make a walk cycle for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I told my mom my idea and she immediately went, \u201cWhat, are you trying to be Banksy now?\u201d I said no at first because of my innate need to stay esoteric and subversive, but then I thought about it some more and I guess it\u2019s a compliment, so Banksy is also an inspiration for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got better at using PhotoShop during this project as that is where I drew my entire animation as well as AfterEffects, where I composited all of the images. I really enjoyed this project and the process, from sketching on paper, moving it to digital drawing in PS, then printing them back out and sticking them around. This project, as well as a few personal design projects have also been very helpful for me in terms of learning the workflow when using digital applications. I typically like to sketch and ink a few drawings on paper, then scan or photograph them and move them into PS or Illustrator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the actual finished product (not including the process video) was pretty short, I am overall so happy with the outcome! It turned out exactly how I wanted it to, and this is a feeling I hope to replicate moving forward. I will be majoring in industrial design this fall, so I\u2019m glad I got to improve my skills in drawing, design, and concept.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do wish I had gotten to spread my stickers a little wider. My sister and dad went to the east coast to visit family, and it would have been very cool if they had taken some stickers and put some up in Virginia. I also wanted to put some in San Francisco and San Jose, but unfortunately every time I had a chance to put them up somewhere besides around school and downtown Los Altos, I forgot!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of what I want people to take away from this project, I think everyone should really commit to what they want. As I said before, this project was something I thought about doing for a really long time, and finally getting to realize it and see it through was an amazing experience. And, of course, stay esoteric and subversive!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.40-PM-832x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.40-PM-832x1024.png 832w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.40-PM-244x300.png 244w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.40-PM-768x945.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.40-PM-49x60.png 49w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.40-PM.png 1056w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"907\" data-id=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.52-PM-1024x907.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.52-PM-1024x907.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.52-PM-300x266.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.52-PM-768x680.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.52-PM-68x60.png 68w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.09.52-PM.png 1116w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.10.01-PM-1001x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.10.01-PM-1001x1024.png 1001w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.10.01-PM-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.10.01-PM-768x786.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.10.01-PM-59x60.png 59w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-9.10.01-PM.png 1204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">A few pictures of my stickers around school!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Completed project <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NadiaP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Zenith.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>My final video!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction This project was something I had in mind for a long time.
