| Description |
Come and learn to create your own animations!
Explore different ways to make pictures move including:
- flipbooks
- zoetropes
- stop motion animation
- computer animation with scratch
and possibly some others.
Early sessions will focus on paper-based persistence-of-vision methods;
we'll be using cameras by the middle of the term.
For stop motion, participants will learn to set up, illuminate, and record stop motion sequences,
and learn computer-based post-production techniques with Windows Movie Maker (or equivalent). |
