Stop-Motion Animation Workshop - 7 - 12 year olds - create your own short animated film, make friends and have fun!
About this Event

Stop Motion Animation for 7 to 12 year olds, aims to give an introduction to the Stop Motion technique of creating an animated film. We use a software called 'Dragonframe', which was used to create films you may know such as 'Coraline' or 'Shawn the Sheep'. Stop Motion is where we capture many images to make things come to life, they may be characters you've designed or just everyday objects.

You'll learn from a professional animator and work in small teams of a maximum, of 5 children per group.

Children's animations will then be uploaded online for the rest of their family and friends to watch!

Filmmaking is a great way to develop skills such as communication, teamwork, creativity, computing, and problem-solving! The main thing is it's so much fun and seeing your ideas on screen coming to life is amazing.

This course is suitable for complete beginners and children who have some experience already in animation.

Price: £65 early bird tickets - £75 general ticket.
You can save the Eventbrite fee by paying Artimate directly, text, Vicky: 07596763060 and we'll send you the payment details and send you a receipt.

Timings: The workshops run from 10 am till 2.00 pm each day, Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd July

Venue: 8th Chelmsford Scout Hall, Langton Hall, Langton Avenue, Chelmsford, CM1 2BP

The Venue is central to Chelmsford, there is on-street parking and a small car park we have access to with free parking. It is a very modern and clean hall, maintained by Chelmsfords' scout groups. It also has a large garden we can use at lunch.

Lunch: Please pack your child a lunch and snacks.

Artimate's Mission: We want the animation and film courses we run to be accessible to all, so if you'd like a sponsored place, please ask and we will try to find a sponsor for your child.
