I've been working on a stop motion animation, in an attempt to do something completely new. And it really is completely new in every sense. I have never embroidered before, I have never edited something before, I have never composed music before, etc. etc. It's mildly terrifying. Oh golly. The the left is the first frame. The film is bout the RH factor in pregnancy. It's one of those rare problems that occurs at birth that really shouldn't happen anymore thanks to the wonders of modern medicine. It occurs when the mother's blood is RH negative and the child's is RH positive. The mother sees the baby as an "intruder," and builds up antibodies against the RH positive blood. Essentially, the mother begins to kill her child. Just what every super healthy mother/child relationship should be, eh? I remember learning about it sophomore year of high school in biology, and thinking it sounded like some really strange biological fight to the death. Little did I know it happened to me as a baby. Because of some awful oversight, my Mum's doctor forgot to give her the shot to introduce RH positive blood to my mother's system, and as a result, the BLOOD BATTLE began! I had a full blood transfusion as a baby (hence the film). When I was twelve I was terrified that I had AIDS because I read that if you had a blood transfusion in the eighties, you were at risk. The power of irrational thinking...
