We end our series on the Bishop Muesum Animation exhibit with a look at a couple of the top exhibits.  You can animate yourself into a video clip.  Here guests are in a booth that takes pictures and allows you to simulate those famous Matrix Time moves by having 16 camers take pictures from all angles and a second both does some Time Lapse taking pictures every few seconds to and looping them together for an animation effect.  See some examples in our you tube video but to experience it all you really have to hurry to the Bishop Museum by May 25th and check out the Animation Exhibit yourself.   Bishop Museum is open daily (except Tuesdays) from 9am to 5pm.  Adult Admission $15.95 ($8.95 Kama’aina and military) and child/senior $12.95 ($7.95 Kama’aina and military).  Admission includes full access to the museum including the science center, hawaiian galleries, planetarium and much more.  See another great review of the exhibit here.

Here is one of the animation stations at the Bishop Museum Animation exhibit.  There are a variety of hands on stations where you can move objects like the horse in this case and take a series of snapshots to create a resulting animation.   Other stations let you do with with blocks, forward and rewind time lapsed images, try to animation flying characters over a city and much more.  Tomorrow we will close our series on the animation exhibit but looking at the marquee attraction.  Remember the exhibit runs through May 25.

Here is the character construction room at the Bishop Museum animation exhibit.  Here you can watch a view on how to create a character and using some templates and and lesson draw your very own cartoon character.  There are also tools at the exhibit to help with story creation and the actual creation of motion.  More to come tomorrow.
