Intro to Editing for Animation

Please note: this event will be held in person.

This workshop is best suited to folks who’ve attended another animation workshop with GZL, or who have a basic understanding of animation already.

Animator Karolina Glusiec returns with an introduction to using open-source editing software to fine-tune, experiment with, and finalize an animated film! Have a lovely time playing and experimenting, or even learn what it takes to get your work to a place where it would be fit for projection on the big screen of a festival.

All materials provided - but if you can bring your own phone, tablet, or laptop with Stop Motion Studio installed, that’s helpful! Otherwise we can share <3

L.T.Leif is a Glasgow-based/Canadian artist and musician. They run the GZL Animation Club with a group of likeminded DIY experimenters. They also host occasional variety-show style events with their collective Cozytown Live, and their music is released on Lost Map Records, where they also present visual works. Leif has worked as the Programming Director of The Quickdraw Animation Society and GIRAF International Animation Festival, supporting the creation and presentation of independent and experimental animation. This was in Calgary, Canada, where they also ran Choose Yer Own, a community-based festival where anyone could do anything, and played in many bands. Leif believes in silliness, authenticity, attention, and the power of the amateur. They love experimental making of all kinds. Animation holds a special place in their heart for its accessibility, unpretentious nature, and magical potential.

Karolina Glusiec is an artist and educator based in Glasgow. Her animation work uses various techniques, often self-invented or experimental. Music is an important part of her practice - she has performed animated live visuals for live music acts across the UK and Europe. Karolina has been running dept.con.temporary artist initiative and community gallery together with Jamie Temple since 2021, and Daydream Nation screenings since 2024. Karolina’s animation “Velocity” won the award for Best Animation in the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the award for Best Director at Vienna Independent Shorts, and The Jerwood Drawing Prize (2013).
