This stop-motion animation is composed of letterforms made up of pushpins and rubber bands. Each frame was photographed individually, starting with a fully formed letter and then slowly deconstructed until nothing but push pins were left. This process was repeated for each individual letter.

Once I had all of the photos, I removed the background in Photoshop and then transferred the files to after effects. The photos were animated as stop-motion compositions, exported as GIFs, and uploaded to a group website to display the different forms. The objective of the site was to show each person’s letterforms both still and in motion, separate from each other and as a collage.

The final site can be viewed here.
