I’m taking art classes at Brock University and in 2009 one of the tasks was to create a stop motion animation about colour. There were several catches though. The first is that we had to choose a colour from a list; I chose “russet”, a rusty-red colour. Then we were given an MP3 track from Ken Nordine’s album Colors. We were also given the mundane task of creating about 100 painted colour swatches based on our chosen colour from which we could “cut up” to create our animation. The result is shown in the video below:
