Swing in the Park...

I got my friend Eva to sit on a swing for me in the park across from the college, I took a bazillion photos but realised the movement was to fast to get each stage, I ended up mixing and matching them to create a smooth - ISH swing movement. THEN I decided to take a video and take stills from it.... made much more sense. This is a short clip....

I traced these stages of the swing onto acetate. My reason being for using acetate was that it was see through and when drawn on with a black marker and held against a light source it creates a projection..... the size is up to you! It's also flexible so I could roll the image up and shine light above it to project disorientated images. I traced these shadows directly into my sketchbook..... I adjust each one so the eye can recognise a body part or the swing frame. 

I think this line drawing captures mostly the legs and really shows how much movement is going on when all the stages are merged together!
