Stop-motion Shadow Animation Workshop
- Start date:
- 30 June 2019
- Ability Level:
- Beginner
Inspired by a presentation of short stop-motion animated films, thought-provoking theoretical discussions and hands-on practical exercises—participants in this workshop will make a one-minute animated film.
The animation workshop is a hands-on introduction for young people to the different techniques required for creating and producing a stop-motion animated film. Participants will learn the tricks and techniques that help get a deeper appreciation of this form of artistic storytelling. During the workshop, participants are introduced to the different stop motion techniques, and to the "Three Act" storytelling formula to help them generate ideas, develop characters and create compelling plots. Using concrete examples and working in groups, at the end of the workshop, all participants will contribute to making a short-animated film of their own.
