Tell Your Story! This class guides students through the creation of a short stop-motion film. Stop-motion animation technique makes objects appear to move much like drawings can “move” in a flipbook. Students work in pairs to write and develop their own stories. Each class a new concept is introduced and practiced hands-on. Students explore various animation techniques and learn about production roles, scripting, storyboarding, camera work, lighting, set and character creation, and post-production process such as titles, transitions, and sounds. Laptops and cameras are provided, as is a variety of building materials, and post-production effects and sounds. Experienced animators can build on their previous skills to create timeless masterpieces of animation. Movies are available to take home. A strict non-violence policy is enforced.
