For my wizard of oz presentation I created a film with images and stop-motion animation, I wanted it to be full of different images of different scenes thought out the wizard of oz story with added animations as well I was able to but the images and animation together using windows movie maker, I also created pages for the tittles of each chapter which i then added text on to, windows movie maker also let me put music on to my film so I added 'follow the yellow brick road' from the film.

PES Animation

Western Spaghetti



When I first saw western spaghetti I loved it, I liked the use of different objects used to represent the real ingredients, instead PES has used every day objects such as pin cushions for tomatoes, pick-up sticks for spaghetti, post it notes for butter and wool for cheese, these object are then brought to life using stop-motion animation.

Robert Bradford

Today I came across Robert Bradford, who is a 2D and 3D artist, he has started using materials that have been used and are weathered in someway, I like the random collections of colours and different forms. From looking in a draw of random old toys he realised that he could make work from them decided to make dogs and some other objects.

I like how Robert has cut up and stitched together used soft toys to make a dog. He also used torches for the eyes, this dog still has a feel of been a toy.

Red Nose Studio


I was searching for some 3d artwork to help me make a set for my wizard of oz and I came across Red Nose Studio, this was just what I was looking for I wanted my own work to look like this. I like how the sky looks although it was painted and everything was hand made even every flower, the colours have a dirty feel to them as they are not too bright and bold.

After seeing this image i thought about making my Toto out of clay, I could this hard to make and i couldnt get the shape I wanted, after it had dryed Ipainted it black and covered it with bits of yarn for its fur.


Here are some of my own images, made with found images and reassembled on Photoshop. For my tin man I used different tin object placed together using Photoshop but the Dorothy was made by images out of magazines collaged together, my Toto is hand made out of fabrics but I have also worked on him on Photoshop by giving him a human eye and a bow.
