Step-in to the Magical World of Stop-Motion Animation!

Stop motion animation is a magical process! Create new characters and exciting film scenery using card, plasticine, wire and found objects, then use laptops and cameras to capture them moving on screen! Learn all about storyboarding, set building, model making, animating, sound recording and editing as you bring your film to life. Dress for mess!

Suitable for ages 7+
Workshop runs from 10:30am-3:30pm
Complimentary lunch included (email bucklandnewtonyc@gmail.com with any allergies)
