This 2-part workshop offers an in-depth exploration of stop-motion animation, focusing on the advanced technique of Claymation. Topics include animation principles like squash and stretch, exaggeration, anticipation, and arcs, along with basic facial animation. Hands-on practice will involve animating a clay ball and a blob character. By the end of the workshop, participants will have created a short character animation piece and will have an animatable character to take home. Previous experience with stop motion animation is recommended.
Clay and materials are included with registration.
Participants will need a phone or tablet with a stop motion animation app such as iStopMotion or Stop Motion Studio, and a tripod mount. DSLR or Mirrorless cameras are also an option, but they must be paired with a computer stop motion program. Please email [email protected] with any questions and/or accessibility concerns.
