Shooting the destruction of the forest scene


Setting up the street performers for recording


Working on an alligator for the jungle


A figure taking shape


Clothes being sewn on the farmer


Two wire figures

After looking to Alexander Calder and his wire circus for inspiration, the middle school classes developed ideas for scenes to make out of wire, beads, corks, and such. Production of street performers, a farm, and a jungle are underway. When the scenes are completed, they will be photographed with incremental movements and then imported into a program to create a stop action animation.
