Embroidered Animation Created Using Vinyl Records

Embroidered Animation Created Using Vinyl Records

Elliot Schultz designed embroidered animations to be played on a turntable.


 

Embroidered Zoetrope from Elliot Schultz on Vimeo.

This project encourages viewers to watch and engage with animation physically.

Discs were created with animated sequences embroidered onto their surface. They have been designed to be played on standard turntables and their shape and size is inherited from 10″ vinyl records. The animation is activated when a strobe light illuminates the discs in sync with the embroidered frames of animation.

This work was completed for my degree project at the ANU School of Art in 2013.

How To Start A Movement

How To Start A Movement

Being a follower is surprisingly powerful.

Who’s the most important person in starting a movement? It’s not the movement’s leader, it’s the first follower, as CD Baby founder Derek Sivers shows in this entertaining talk. In under three minutes, a lone guy with no shirt dancing on a hill while many other people sit on the grass turns into a hundred or so people dancing with only a few still sitting. How does it happen? Because of the second guy who has the guts to get up and dance with the first and “show everyone else how to follow,” as Sivers puts it.

What does that mean in the real world? “If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow. And when you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first one to stand up and join in.”

The Best Gift I Ever Survived

The Best Gift I Ever Survived

When something awful happens, it can be a tremendous gift.

When Stacey Kramer, founder of the branding company BrandPlay discovered she had a brain tumor called hemangioblastoma, it turned out to be a gift. Not only did she gain a new perspective on spirituality, she developed a healthier lifestyle, increased her vitality, saw friends she hadn’t been in touch with for years, gained serenity, ate countless gourmet meals, and received masses of flowers. Not only that, she got to spend eight weeks doing absolutely nothing, and was given a lifetime supply of good drugs.

“While I’m OK now, I wouldn’t wish this gift for you,” she tells the audience in her thought-provoking talk. “I’m not sure you’d want it. But I wouldn’t change my experience. It profoundly altered my life in ways I didn’t expect.”

So, she advises, “The next time you’re faced with something that’s unexpected, unwanted, and uncertain, consider that it just may be a gift.”

A Story Of Mixed Emoticons

A Story Of Mixed Emoticons

Emoticons can express more than you think.

I’ll admit it. This 3:17 talk from the performance poet Rives won’t teach you very much, unless you’re a creative emoticon user, in which case it may provide some inspiration. But this sweet little tale of a chance encounter will put a smile on your face and make you glad you took the time to watch.
