The Experience Prototyping course is in full swing in the MA Interaction Design program. During the first week of the course, the Advanced Design Visualization students joined the second year Interaction students for an intense stop-motion workshop. Timo Arnall and Matt Cottam conducted this workshop.
Course description from the workshop wiki page:
In this 5-day workshop we will use various media to develop and communicate designed products, ideas and concepts. We will look at film-making, cinematography, animation techniques and other time-based techniques that allow designers to explore ideas that wouldn’t otherwise be possible through other prototyping or visualisation techniques.
The introduction of stop-motion to IxD students aims to refine their skills in creating and manipulating time-based media in order to communicate new concepts. It is also a great opportunity to temporarily break-free from pixels, screens, digital tools and interfaces. Clever use of simple objects, tools and techniques, often from the analog world, can expose new ways to see, understand and communicate IxD work.
