I made a scale model of a multiplane animation camera rostrum; a piece of equipment used in the creation of stop frame animation (based on a design by @cloudyflemmo and myself for @borbonesa). #animation #stopframeanimation #animationpal

When the pages are removed from the hardcovers they can be fed and wound through a 15-note mechanical music box, sounding notes across two octaves. Many thanks to @JackieBatey for the details of the exhibition. #miniature #artistsbook #pompeyillustration #bayeuxtapestry #musicbox

Using a 1:16 scale version of The Bayeux Tapestry as a guide, the exact head position of each of the 626 human figures (embroidered into the original tapestry) were marked onto the paper strip, and punched out as 2mm holes...
