DR.ME collage workshop

Following on from the talk that DR.ME delivered to us, they returned with a workshop on collaging and how it can be used to make a short animation. We were put into pairs and given a random word which we were to base our stop motion gif on. 

Our word was masseuse:

We decided that it would be interesting to focus on the feelings and journey that the person receives during a massage rather than the actual masseuse themselves giving it. 
The leaves, flowers and earthy tones all work to show the natural process of giving a massage as a form of muscle relaxation and relief. The circular movement of the flowers represents the common circular movement of the hands when giving a massage. The person walking along at a steady pace shows the relaxation, with the tiger coming in to show the pain that is felt at sections and then taken away when the 'knot' is released.
