This coming March 2020 I am giving a lecture at The Royal Drawing School alongside Joan Ashworth about our involvement with Stories in Transit. All welcome. ''Joan Ashworth and Lee Shearman will unfold their contribution to Stories in Transit, Marina Warner’s project working with refugees in Palermo, Sicily that uses storytelling and narrative games to exercise the imagination of the participants. Joan and Lee have worked with one of the stories, as told by Dine Diallo; one of the young refugees from Guinea. After an oral telling of the story by Dine, participants in the workshop made drawings in response, which were then translated into articulated silhouette and translucent paper cut-out figures. Using this artwork as material for animation, participants filmed sequences using a variety of creative techniques. Joan and Lee will discuss and reflect on the processes involved in creating the animation, show examples of the paper puppets as well as screening clips from the film so far and reveal the next steps for the Stories In Transit project. shall be discussing our contribution to Stories in Transit, Marina Warner’s project working with refugees in Palermo, Sicily that uses storytelling and narrative games to exercise the imagination of the participants.

ANIMATION: I have been experimenting with various ways of fixing an iPad above my work area. Rather than buying a metal camera stand I wanted to make something that could accommodate various additions, and be cut into and adapted into a multiplane camera rostrum. I found this embroidery easel made from pinewood so it is light but strong, and could easily be modified. #animation
For sound production for upcoming animation projects I am using Logic Pro X since migrating my sound work from PC (Cakewalk & Soundforge). I am also using a U-PhoriaUMC404HD external sound card together with a Boss Micr BR-80 and a Sigma TM-15e+.
My latest project involves time lapse photography, the sunrise and shipping lanes of St. Leonards-on-Sea. Using a Canon 1100d, and Dragonframe software I have been filming the horizon from my balcony window. See films here
