Lab: Stop Motion for Kids

4.3.2023
Kids 9-14

 

 

Everything is animatable.

Stop-motion precedes cinema. The two techniques developed together until stop-motion turned into the second seventh art. From its inception until present day, stop-motion has steadily relied upon: cut-outs (paper and cardboard), claymation (plasticine), objects, puppets (created with different materials) and pixilation (relying on human motion). The proposed workshop offers an immersive experience of the different stages involved in the creation of a short animation using claymation and cut-outs.

Theme: AIR

Structure

• projection of short films on different animation techniques
• development of the “air” theme and drafting of a storyboard
• design of personal animation (characters, set design) using plasticine and cardboard

• The workshop coordinator will publish a final edit of all creations on her Vimeo channel as a single video.

Materials
