Introduction to Stop-Motion Animation (in person)

This class provides an eye opening experience into a classic technique. The instructor shares behind-the-scenes videos of animations that use stop-motion animation techniques, as students dig into the fundamentals of animation by learning about frame rate and basic animation principles, such as squash and stretch, ease-in/ease-out, anticipation, and more. Students learn how to create animations with different materials, such as paper and everyday objects to tell a story. By the end of class, students will have filmed, added sound and edited a short animation with a small group of students. Students have an opportunity to watch all the animations together at the end of class and share the finished work online. / Material fee $15 included in course tuition.
