Five days. One short film. Start to finish.
A hands-on animation intensive built for the school holidays. Students build a set, design characters and shoot a stop-motion film frame by frame, using real animation rigs and editing software. No experience needed. Just patience and a willingness to move things one millimetre at a time.
You'll build a set from scratch. You'll design and construct a simple character. You'll shoot and edit a finished short film. You'll learn how twelve frames become one second of motion. You'll watch your film with an audience on the final day.
Students should bring morning tea, lunch, and a water bottle. All materials and equipment are provided.
Please arrive 10 minutes before the start time on the first day. Pick-up is prompt at the end time each day.
Full refund available up to 7 days before the program start date. After that, we can offer a credit for a future program.
