Dive into the fascinating world of stop-motion animation, the technique behind beloved films like Shaun the Sheep and Fantastic Mr. Fox. This workshop is perfect for creative teens eager to bring inanimate objects to life using simple tools and a bit of patience.
You'll explore how to craft animation-ready clay models, plan your story with a storyboard, and master the use of a tripod for steady shots. Editing skills will be introduced using Photoshop to stitch your images together into a seamless animation.
By the end, you will even learn how to create a looping GIF file, making your animation shareable and fun to show off.
This session is designed for young people aged 12 to 17 years and runs for two hours. It requires no prior experience, just enthusiasm and creativity.
All materials and equipment, including clay and cameras, are provided to ensure you can focus on learning and creating.
