Premise - My Grandads Rocking Horses

Tape Recording Grandad's rocking horses from Ruth Cann on Vimeo.

This is a video of my Grandad, demonstrating his skills with woodwork and showing the basic stages of the making process. Out of the 1 hour and 15 min video, this was the edited  7 min version to show people his craft and his finished creations.

Premise - My Grandad's Rocking Horses

My Grandad and my Mum 

The main subject for my animation will be my Grandad. He used to create gorgeous rocking horses out of mahogany fully from scratch which I adored playing with from a very young age. After a lot of digging around, I have been able to find images of him with the horses he loved so much. Below is a collection of just some of these precious memories that I would like to use as inspiration for my animation.

I have also found an old videotape of my Grandad with his horses - currently, I am awaiting the tape to be transferred into a digital version so I can look through the hour-long footage to see if any can be added through-out my animation.
