A bit of behind the scenes animation magic featuring Dotty the Cardiff Animation Festival mascot.

It was a lot of fun building this magnetic puppet and seeing Laura Tofarides bring Dotty to life with stop-motion animation.

This week's post provides a bit more detail about how I spun a camera around a mountain:

Remember cracking open one of these books and doing the first tutorial that was purposely way too advanced but got you fired up that you made something awesome

I put together a playlist for anyone looking to start learning stop-motion animation:

• Getting started with just your phone
• Simple beginner lessons
• Live streamed animating (mistakes and all)

Social media's in a weird place right now with 'the algorithm' and 'reach being down' but I also remember handing out flyers as a teenager offering to draw pencil portraits of pets - so I'm very grateful for being able to instantly distribute my work (in any capacity)
