Stop Motion Animation Creative Workshop

This creative workshop for schools helps students create their own stop motion animations, from teaching the methods to watching their final product on YouTube.

Stop motion animation is one of the simplest and most effective ways to create an impressive animation, and our workshop leader teaches students how to make stop motion animation step by step, frame by frame. Students begin with an initial concept, and they take the concept from start to finish by learning to storyboard their animation, constructing a set, animating and editing their movies, and finally watching their short film on YouTube.

Our local stop motion animation expert, will provide their knowledge and the equipment to teach students how to make stop motion animation movies and help them produce their first short movies.

Armed with cameras, tripods and a PC for editing the work, Our creative practitioner will bring students ideas and everyday objects to life in 2D or 3D animations. While this is an art workshop, it can be used to expand students' understanding of other school subjects, like maths, science and English, while exercising their creative skills.

The subjects and products of this creative workshop can be as experimental, educational and imaginative as the creators themselves – there is no limit to what can happen on the screen!
