Introduction

Hello and welcome to my reflective journal! This journal documents my exploration of what digital technology can do to help us expand our creative potential through the making of a paper stopmotion video that shows the adventures of an origami paper doll/girl named Blox and her friend from the forest she created, Bunny. Origami is the traditional and handmade art-form of transforming a boring piece of paper into new and interesting forms, but with technology, we can enhance the experience by adding movement and life to these origami figures onscreen. Throughout the production of this video, I will also examine the concepts of digital nativeness, computer affordance, creativity and remixing.
