I am giving an online workshop with Artivive app on 13th october 6pm CEST 👀 Teaching how to make this animation! People will be able to learn how to make a scrappy lil creature and bring him to life.. andd also turn their animation into an AR piece. Magically turn a few scraps from around the house to a new little creature using Stop Motion and Augmented Reality.
Animating Balloons For Lemonade
I was commissioned by Lemonade to create a looping animation for their Instagram account under the theme “Connected By Lemonade”. I was free to use anything as long as the animation had a cool transformation, at least one frame had the “pink line” connecting from top to bottom and It was generally pink to fit their branding.
I had the idea of snapping a thin long balloon into a Balloon dog, sort of a magical “How Balloon Dogs Are Made”.
Trickiest part was animating and shaping a Balloon in extreme positions, after many experiments I made a wire skeleton and glued it to a balloon dog that I made from different parts, this allowed to move and pause the dog in many positions without it popping. I also used wire inside inflated balloons to shape and create my in between frames during the transformation.
What's inside the things you throw away | A Stop motion
These are all products I would find in the Friday market (scrap market) here in Cairo. Some work, in perfect conditions, some don’t but have parts that still function.
I might have changed careers and now I am a stop motion animator, but product design will always be my biggest fascination. The idea of designing something that ends up in trash saddens me the most, and the solution is not to stop creating, humans will never stop making things. But rather

Tinker Friday Workshop // Pictoplasma // Berlin
I gave a “tinker friday” workshop during Pictoplasma Berlin 2019, we prepared so many products that were no longer working for participants to take apart, see what’s inside and then try to imagine and design their own characters from all the pieces.
Seeing more than 100 people with screwdrivers in their hand makes me so happy! I hope everyone who joined had a great time 🙌 I hope you learned more about what’s inside your products and that now you don’t fear taking anything apart! Maybe even try to fix it!
Some shared that it was a challenge for them to create with a different medium, they mostly work with paper or digitally on computer (not with computer parts!) But challenging your creative muscle is always a good and they ended up creating very interesting characters!
