About this Event
Find out how Shaun the Sheep, Chicken Run and Fantastic Mr. Fox look the way they do.
They are all examples of stop-motion animation. Stop-motion animation is the art of stitching still images together to create a moving image and while it takes some patience, it is amazingly easy to learn.
Using a still camera, a tripod and a little creativity, you can learn how to make inanimate objects come to life.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- how to make animation-ready models from clay
- how to plan your video using a storyboard
- how to use a tripod
- how to edit photographs together in Photoshop
- how to create a looping GIF file
Cost: $8.50
Age: 12-17 years
Experience: No previous experience in photography or video editing is required.
Equipment: Materials and equipment will be provided.
About the facilitator:
Will Chittick has worked professionally as a photographer since 2013 and has co-created animation projects with a number of primary school groups as well as contributing stop-motion animation to several music videos. He explains technical concepts in an approachable way and enjoys sharing his skills with emerging creatives.
