Rainbow Motion Community Compilation Film with Ginny Koppenhol

We are delighted to share the Rainbow Motion community project film led by local artist Ginny Koppenhol. Ginny created a 30 minute tuition video available via our website

or youtube channel.
Over a 4 week period people were invited to create a rainbow inspired animation using their skills learnt from the tutorial and then send to Ginny for their films to be included in a compilation showcase film bring all the submissions together.
A few words from Ginny:
"As I sit here and mull over what to write about this small project of mine, I notice a sun-faded tissue paper rainbow out of the corner of my eye. I feel a bit emotional as I look at it. I made it with my two young children at the start of lockdown. Many people created vibrant rainbows using all manner of materials, to display in their windows with the sole purpose of spreading a bit of joy and reminding each other (especially children) that we are part of a community during this challenging time. What a wonderfully simple and powerful idea!
So when I spotted the Creative West End's virtual project call-out, I knew immediately that I wanted to encourage creativity using this enduring symbol of lockdown. For this project I decided to challenge people to create a rainbow-inspired stop motion animation and send it to me, so I could put them together as another expression of 'community creativity'.
My tutorial video on Facebook received over 900 views - a fantastic response! Films were initially slow to come in but lockdown was easing and people were keen to get out and about, so I resigned myself to the fact that I may only get a couple of animations sent to me. However slowly but surely they arrived in my inbox, each one different from the last. It was lovely to be able to create an animation with my 6-year old daughter too, who has discovered a love of making stop motion films.
Enjoy the compilation of joyful animated films and if you're inspired by what you see, you can still check out the video and learn some new skills.
