The Miniaturist

One of the British telly programmes I enjoyed over Christmas was The Miniaturist. Well I would, wouldn't I ... all those miniature lovelies destined for Nella's dollhouse; a touch of the supernatural; lovingly detailed Dutch interiors; a flavour of family saga (although exceeding brief - a touch, a blink as such); an insight into the religious and social politics of that place and time.

I didn't understand why the BBC broadcast it in two unequal-length parts (one and a half hours and then an hour) which tripped up the pace of the ending for me.

But it was very sumptuous, visual ... and lovingly miniaturised.

Animated Discussions: TAMTAM Objekten Theater at The Kroller Muller Museum 2013

A link from Stopmotion Pro cheers Mrs D considerably. It leads to a video of a public-participation live stop-motion event at the Kroller Muller Museum, Holland in 2013 where the public hand over found objects and the TAMTAM Objekten Theater team incorporate them into short animations using Stopmotion Pro software. You can watch a YouTube video of the actual event here.

It goes to show how simple it is to use anything to hand... together with a willing imagination and some animation skill... to create a stop-motion animation.
Problem for Mrs D is... her imagination ain't very willing at the moment.
