TOYS Festival Animation workshop
one day childrens stop motion workshop at Filmbase Dublin (2007) The Ark / IFI As part of Delicious 9, I was asked to curate a stop motion animation workshop with The Ark and the IFI on weekend of 28&29 July 2007 at Filmbase Dublin. We asked participants (12 children) to bring a toy with an armature that could be posed for stop motion. Using Dragon Stop motion, DSLR cameras and sets designed and built by the group on the day, we introduced the children to the basic techniques of stop motion animation, assisting them in developing an idea for two short animated film trailers completed by the end of the day. It was a high energy and highly creative collaborative session that most seemed happy to have come away with a better understanding of animation (and how long it takes to create one second!) and a fun trailer to show friends and family. |
