Waves, a stop motion story
About Stop motion crew
Conceptual designer and illustrator Shushan Droshakiryan has worked on numerous Tumo initiatives as a workshop leader. She was the coordinator of the origami workshop which unveiled a giant dancing sculpture made entirely of origami pieces during Tumo's second anniversary celebrations.
Mane Nersesyan and Arpine Baroyan, second place winners of the Converse Bank animation competition, were the stop motion animators for the Waves project.
Tumo students Gohar Droshakiryan and Marta Minasyan worked on the artwork for the project. They had previously collaborated on the game fashion workshop where they designed chess-inspired character costumes for a virtual game concept.
Tumo project leader Shushan Droshakiryan and the four Tumo students on her team have finished a stop motion animation project. They have spent an intensive four weeks working non-stop on the stop motion animation piece, using cutouts and hand-painted backdrops.
The story is narrated by Saro Paparian, a member of the Tumo music team and a native of California, who tells of a summer in Huntington Beach, when he worked odd jobs to save money for a surfboard he desperately wanted so he could surf with his father.
