This stop motion workshop explores how you can use your digital skills to bring inanimate objects to life. Stop motion involves taking a series of still images and then digitally stitching them together to make an animation. We will guide you through the process of creating your own animated masterpiece using tablets and Stop Motion Studio (a free app for animations on tablets), from designing and creating your characters to filming your story.
This hands-on experience provides an unforgettable adventure where every snapshot is a story waiting to be told.
All tools and equipment are provided, and you’ll be sent your animation to keep at the end of the workshop!
Each session takes 2 hours. Sign up for one of two sessions on Sunday 26th October:
