“Let’s Animate!” Youth Animation Workshop

“Let’s Animate!” Youth Animation Workshop

Start date:
April 15, 2018
Ability Level:
Beginner

Inspired by a presentation of short stop-motion animated films, theoretical discussions and practical exercises, participants will make their own one-minute animated film.

This animation workshop is a hands-on introduction for young people to the different techniques required for creating and producing stop-motion animated films. Participants will learn the tricks and techniques of animation and gain a deeper appreciation of the art of storytelling.

During the workshop, participants will be introduced to the various stop-motion techniques, and to the classical three-act storytelling formula to help them generate ideas, develop characters and create compelling plots. Using concrete examples and working in groups, all participants will contribute to making a one-minute short animated film by the end of the workshop.
