Stop Motion
Session 1: August 12th-16th, 10am-12pm | $105 | Trevor
Cut-out style animation | Best for ages 7-9 | Minimum 6 / Max 8
Session 2: August 12th-16th |1pm-3pm | $105 | Trevor
Cut-out style animation | Best for ages 10-12 | Minimum 6 / Max 8
Stop motion animation is made by moving objects and figures in front of a camera and taking a picture, each movement is very small. When you play back the pictures the objects and figures come to life. Along with stop motion animation we will explore replacement animation which is the technique used by Laika for films like Kubo and the Two Strings, Coraline and ParaNorman.
With a camera and an app (stop motion studio) you can create a stop motion animated film! We will explore the history of stop action by viewing film clips of stop action filmmakers past and present to inspire our own creations…
From writing your story to preparing the props and characters, you will progress through the stages of making your film. You will create scenes using various techniques including 2D (cutout).
(Please have your little artist bring a water bottle and a snack)
