Hands-On Animation Lab: Stop Motion!

Instructor: Forrest Baum

Stop motion animation is an animation technique to make physically maipulated objects appear to move. This workshop introduces and covers the basics. Possibilities include drawing, working with clay or any non - drawn objects, including toys, blocks, and dolls. If puppets and characters are your interest, you can explore character and puppet construction technique as well. Emphasis is placed on the use of camera and lighting for effective storytelling. This class is open to young and old animators, and all skill levels. Students receive an extra 4 hours of animation time at 911 with the Animation Lunchbox. (Tools you will learn to use in the class.) What a deal! Class limit: 12
