Typewriter Stop-Motion
After struggling with Idea #1, I went back to why I chose this topic - I like old things because they tell stories.
So what would it be like if these analog devices could come to life?
At the same time, I came across this stop-motion video:
What if I made a stop-motion using analog devices? Not as objects, but as image-making tools?

EXPERIMENTS
Revolution by Chris Turner, Helen Friel and Jess Deacon
A stop-motion animation made with a typewriter.
It's like kinetic typographer, but the analog way.
The stop-motion video will be projected on paper fed into the typewriter, so that the typewriter's story literally comes to live.
The video projection is triggered when the viewer types something on the typewriter, therefore allowing them to experience using an analog device.
This 1911 poem by Welsh Poet W.H. Davies has been sitting in the back of my head since the start of the project. I wondered if I could animate the scenes described in it.
CURRENTLY:
WORK IN PROGRESS
What if I combine ideas 1 and 2?
Back to using optical toys, but images created by the typewriter?
