Travel back in time - with a book !

I was recently invited to participate in the Adelaide launch of the Juvenilia exhibition which displays the childhood writing and drawing of Australian children's book writers and illustrators. It's a fabulous exhibition featuring authors like Graeme Base, Alison Lester and Andy Griffiths. Maybe it's not surprising that my early efforts at writing were all about animals, boats and history! We were asked to do a short video to promote our books so I decided to do this little stop animation about some of my books on Australian fossils. It's something I would have liked to have done as a kid - these days, it's super easy to do on with your phone although I used a really old copy of Movie Studio to do the 'old film' effects (which cover up a lot of my clunky effort at animating!).
