Funshop: Exploring Stop-Motion Animation
What do Gumby, Davey and Goliath, and LEGOs all have in common? Stop-motion animation! It’s the process of making a movie by taking a series of pictures one frame at a time. Join us in this session as we dive into the vast history of Stop-Motion Animation and explore some basic animation techniques. We will even be doing some animation live on the spot for you to see!
Stop-Motion is a great starting place for many homeschoolers interested in filmmaking! The investment is low, the returns are high and the learning experience can be invaluable. But how do you do it? Where do you start? And what's a "frame rate" anyway? Not only will you hear the answers to these questions but you may also be surprised to find you already have everything you need to start animating today!
