Stop-motion face painting video goes viral

Subscribe to ITN News: A British artist who created a video using stop-motion animation and face paint has gone viral. Emma Allen from London used face paint to make her face look old before giving it the look of a white skull mask in her artwork Ruby. She took over 750 photographs after changing her face paint each time, and showed the pictures at high speed to give the impression of movement. It took her five days to create the piece, with her working 17 hours a day. Emma said the artwork was about rebirth and the transfer of energy. Report by Andrea Lilly.
