Hand wash animation

Some objects around the house just ask to be animated


This common hand wash for instance features a coral fish in an aquarium.  By removing the manufacturer's label and cleaning the glue off with white spirit, you can make a passable goldfish bowl.  I took out the fish and cut out some of the clear plastic to make a handle. I found the fish's movements somewhat restricted.  I wanted to make it rise to the surface and eat floating titbits but I could only make it swim to and fro.    For the first part of the film I put water in the bottle but the second half is without water.  The fish's colours come through better without.


I've added a zoom and a ripple effect withj the VideoPad software.  All it needs is a story
