What’s Inside? Stop Motion Animation

The artist Dina Amin is on a mission: She wants us to reconsider the everyday objects we discard so easily and to think more carefully about the effort, materials and resources that went into their manufacture. Amin loves nothing more than taking discarded objects – radios, clocks, phones and cameras – apart and transforming them into characters that she brings to life with stop motion animation. Join Amin to discover how everyday objects work, how to create characters, and how to film and edit animations that feature your creations disassembling and reassembling in a short, magical loop.

Facilitator:

Dina Amin is a stop motion artist and a maker from Cairo, Egypt. She completed her BA (Hons) in Industrial Design in Malaysia. Although trained as a product designer, she loves to explore the intersections between various disciplines.
In 2016, Amin started a side project called Tinker Friday on Instagram, where she combined her passion for product design and stop motion with her views on consumerism. In this stop motion series, she shows people what’s inside the countless objects they throw away – in unusual ways. Amin continues to tinker, making new items out of old ones, constantly telling stories and showing people things in a completely different way.
After discovering her love for stop motion, Amin also founded Tinker Studio, where she produces stop motion videos for diverse clients and companies around the world.
