Creating an I movie and Thaumatrope

In today's workshop with kat, I have created some Thaumatrope's, which is a method of creating a moving image by drawing 2 different images on each side of a surface.

I first created some example ones, which already had the images drawn on. You first had to cut both of the circular shapes out, and glue them together with one of the images upside down. Once they were glued together you had to cut out 2 circles and thread a rubber band through each side and then you were able to turn it to create the moving picture.
These are the links to the examples I have created:

After creating some examples, I also created one with my own design of a candle and a flame, which works quite well. I found this one harder to create as I had to come up with my own design, so I struggled to come up with ideas. Also, my first attempt at my own Thaumatrope didn't work as I did the drawings in the wrong place, so I had to redo this.
This is how it turned out:

As a Thaumatrope is part of animation, we had a look at how animation has evolved over time.  These are some of the videos we looked at.

After creating these Thaumatrope's, I then created a small Imovie with 2 of my class mates, Eve and Victoria on how to screen print. However, we were unable to finish this video as we ran out of time; therefore we only had enough time to edit part of the video. This includes adding a voice over, text, and a view effects such as fading and dissolving to help parts of the video fit together more. This can also be viewed on YouTube at:

I found this quite difficult as I had never done this before and I didn't really know how to edit the footage together so I had help from Eve doing this.
