| Intermediate Program Animation- The Magic of the Moving Image (Afternoon course offered in session 1 and 2) FOR GRADES 4-9 During this workshop we make collaborative stop-motion animation productions called Animathons, whereby each student picks up the story where the last person left off. Each exercise exploits a different animation medium; modelling clay, toys, objects, salt, sand, lines on a chalk board etc... The animation is done by taking a series of photographs in succession, creating the illusion of continuous movement. In the second week, we produce animated narratives, exploring the art of storytelling, pacing and timing. The students learn how to use a video camera to make stop-motion animation productions with easily available software that they can download on their home computers. At the end of the session the students will receive a CD with a quicktime movie of their productions. Come create zany animated stories by the Magic of the Moving Image ! To continue your animtion projects at home. Find a camcorder that has a firewire port and download the following stop-motion animation shareware: Mac : Windows: |
