Chaos Cards 2022

From November 2022 to December 2022, I was at Young Animators Club doing two animations for an exhibition at the Chaos Cards Tabletop Gaming Centre. One was a stop motion animation of a yeti and an arctic fox brawling in an ice cave, made using Dragonframe, After Effects and Premiere Pro. The puppets were made using felting wool, aluminium wire, polymorph, upholstery foam, liquid latex, foot magnets for the stage, dragon eyes and glass eyes, while the cave was created using chicken wire, newspaper, rocks, Modroc, bicarbonate soda, shaving foam and a steel sheet. The other was a hand-drawn logo animation for the word ‘Chaos’, with the letters forming from metal, straw, fire, wood and stones.

On 20 December 2022, the exhibition opened between 5pm and 6pm, and I attended it. There I saw my stop motion animation projected on the wall and ceiling, used along with the other young animators’ animations as part of a film named CHAOS!, and entered a room with the ice cave set and puppets amongst the young animators’ sets and puppets. CHAOS! was uploaded to YouTube on 22 December 2022, and can be watched here (my animation is at 2:10).
