Alphabet Animation Tests

For our new project in which we have to create an animation of an alphabet using practical methods. I began by looking at this example of an animation using unexpected methods, they used a speaker and a mixture of cornstarch and water into which he dropped the letters and with the vibration of the speaker they were engulfed into the mixture.





I then started experimenting myself and I came across effervescent tablets, which reacted in the water to fizz and hide the letter
From this I experimented more, using 3D letters in a bowl of water which i held an effervescent tablet in to make it fizz over the letter and mask it.
However, this was very unpredictable so I decided to try using a bowl of lemonade and adding bicarbonate of soda to it to create the fizz effect over the letters. This worked a lot better and produced a more violent reaction.
