Belinda’s castle

Belinda is a witch and a fairy, and she lives in a castle by herself. Her garden is very big, it has flowers that look like glass, and loads of bluebirds come into her garden, ’cause they like her garden. Inside her house, it’s like a castle except with a few bats and witchy things because she’s a witch and a fairy, and she’s the queen of witches and fairies. The trees outside her house aren’t actually trees, they’re posts that the gate is attached onto.

Birthday fun

Peggy, along with her brother Bo, and cousins Maisie and Beattie, did a bunch of drawings for a stop motion film last summer, a birthday present to their maternal grandparents. There were a couple of drawings by their friends Clara and Verity in the film too. I helped the children animate it, and Bo sang and played piano on the soundtrack.

Above is a selection from Peggy’s contribution.

The finished production was three and a half minutes. You can see just under a minute of it here in Quicktime.

The film was made with a normal amateur digital video camera, a Mac laptop, and some very easy to use (and free) animation software called FrameByFrame. Sound and editing was completed in iMovie.
