Stop Motion Animation

Immerse yourself in an engaging workshop where participants, working in groups of 2-4, craft captivating small-scale stop-motion animations. Using a variety of materials and digital elements, they bring their imaginative creations to life.

This hands-on experience teaches practical animation techniques, storytelling skills, and audio integration, while highlighting the dynamic world of animation. Participants will explore how to convey stories seamlessly across different mediums, drawing inspiration from narratives, characters, and ideas.

The workshop concludes with a showcase of the finished animations and reflections on the creative process. Children are encouraged to bring their own props - or use and create from the materials we have on hand.
