Headlands Primary School
Project Outline
Children in Years 5 and 6 from Headlands Primary School, in Haxby, York used York Castle Museum's Hearth Gallery as the inspiration for their animated film.
Working with animator Vikaas Mistry, Museum education staff and curators from York Castle Museum, students had the opportunity to work with the Museum's handling collection of exhibits in their classroom. The students created observational drawings of objects from the Victorian era and the 20th century, such as hot water bottles and Victorian bed warmers.
Once the students had completed these, they began work on the animation drawings that gradually altered the appearance of the Victorian items to their 20th century equivalents. These drawings were then photographed one at a time using the Adobe Premiere programme in the stop motion mode. The images could then be replayed on the computer screen.
The resulting film will be shown on screens in York Castle Museum from 1 May until 31 October 2004.
