Pix Lab - Mini Maker Faire - stop motion at Edinburgh Science Festival

Pix Lab

Mini Maker Faire at Edinburgh Science Festival

This was my contribution to the Mini Maker Faire at Summerhall, as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival.

I created lots of science-themed stop motion activities for members of the public to take part in and have a go at animating.

Watch the films below!

I created a whole host of props, including robot puppets, light bulbs, test tubes and beakers.

To show the basics of animation, I also prepared thaumatropes for people to colour in or design their own.

I also made a robot head for one of the activities from a cardboard box covered in tin foil, with card and bottle top buttons, and the top of a water bottle for its antenna.

Thanks to my lovely volunteers, it was a fabulous success!
