Máquina do tempo - Sofia Erzini

A programme that can control a machine meant for stop motion animation.

The programme is responding to camera capture, therefor each time a picture is taken motors are activated and take a step or more according to the preferences made by the programmer.

These motors are integrated in the mechanical structure that will make all the elements of light and weather change frame-by-frame.

Leaving the animator free to introduce any element according to this theme of cycle and repetition.
