From observing other animated movies, I wanted to explore the use of lighting in my animations. Taking some influence from my earlier exploration into machinery and clockwork parts, I wanted to create a factory scene. I wanted to use stop motion here to get the quality of motion often associated with the medium. The imperfect consistency in movements is a natural product of the process, and this gave the machinery a slightly mechanical movement to it which I liked. I used a set of Red LEDs which I also moved and animated in each frame. The light that hit off the walls and machine parts quite well for the visual effect I wanted to achieve.
