Stop Motion Animation of Lion Dance Troupe
To celebrate Chinese New Year arriving soon…. make sure you get your ang baos ready, there are some free printable ones here in case you are short :) Also, remember to tell your little ones about how some of the rituals performed during CNY was inspired by some Chinese legends with this short colouring book.
I did a short little stop motion animation, there was not much storyline to this one, to be honest (even though I would have liked too), I was just testing out a new phone equipment so I thought to put this together and see how the lighting was.
