Sounds of Animation, AWG 2006
The Animation Workshop Group (AWG) project from 2006. Workshop leaders: Deanna Morse and Melissa Bowuman. Sounds of Animation was a global project of the AWG, where children around the world made animations inspired by the soundscape of Normand Roger. Our Grand Rapids, MI, group worked in Flash to animate a sequence that we interpreted from the sounds as scary things happen, but then it turns out to be OK in the end.
