The Polish shop closes down

A demonstration of Go Animate. It’s a really great application for making cartoons and simple animation. I wrote a short script and recorded a voice over first. I then added backgrounds from my photos and finally the characters. It’s a little fiddly, mainly because of the lack of a timeline editor to assist with matching up the soundtrack with the animation. This would be a great additional feature.

I’m currently writing a resource on Polish migration in the UK. The photos were taken in Cullompton, Devon. Thanks to Laura and Eddie Grundy for assisting with the voice over.

Charmouth landslide animation

Earlier last week the BBC reported a “dramatic rescue” of fossil hunters, cut off on a rising tide by a large landslide in the unstable Jurassic cliffs at Charmouth, Dorset, UK.

I have made an animation to explain the cause of the slump, or at least, what I think happened!

The animation is made in Koolmoves. I really like this program, it’s much easier than Flash to learn, and it’s very good value for money. Some more of my animations may be found here.

I visited the site of the landslide to take some photographs, which can be seen at Flickr.

More information about the Jurassic coast here. Southampton University have a number of pages devoted to the geology of the region and this site has some useful visualizations about the mass movement processess operating locally. Fossil hunters might be interested in a description of the fossil-bearing strata and field guide found here.
