Our FAQs
Stop-motion animation is a technique where objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames. When played as a continuous sequence, the objects appear to move on their own.
This workshop is suitable for children with various skill levels, from beginners with no animation experience to those who have made several stop-motion movies. It is designed for anyone interested in learning about stop-motion animation.
Participants need to bring an iPad or tablet with the app Stop Motion Studio downloaded onto the device (free download on App store or Play store).
Clay for creating stop-motion animations will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring any additional items or personal props they wish to use in their animation.
No prior experience is required. The workshop is designed to introduce participants to the basics of stop-motion animation and guide them through the process step-by-step.
Children will gain a comprehensive understanding of stop-motion animation through hands-on experience and guided instruction. The workshop will cover:
In an animation production, various roles collaborate to bring a story to life. The Storyteller develops the narrative, characters, and plot, while the Character/Set Designer crafts the visual elements. The Animator then manipulates characters frame by frame, and the Cameraperson/Photographer captures these movements. Overseeing the creative vision, the Director ensures cohesion. Post-production involves the Sound Designer and SFX who create the audio landscape, and the Editor who assembles and polishes the final animation. Throughout the process, the Project Manager keeps the team on track, managing resources and timelines.
This streamlined structure allows children to focus on the visual and technical aspects of stop-motion production. By the end of the workshop, your child will have a solid foundation in stop-motion animation and the confidence to create their own projects!
