While most commercial animation is done using completed artwork, whether drawings or digital images, many of the finest animated films have been created by hand, one frame at a time, under the camera. Here is a chance to explore animation using paper cutouts and other materials. This hands-on workshop can help you to understand the enormous creative potential available using these methods, tease out ideas for a project, and understand the relationship between content and technique with Christine Negus and Leslie Supnet. The workshop includes simple exercises aimed at developing a foundation in the illusion of motion and understanding the unique possibilities and demands of animating under the camera.
Participants shoot a series of brief animations using various techniques and watch the results. This course is open to absolute beginners and is a great opportunity to disover the many possibilities of animation. Art skills such as drawing and painting are not required. Examples of relevant films will be screened.
This workshop is open to H.B. Beal Secondary School students.
