Learn traditional tabletop stop-motion animation without green screen!

This workshop teaches kids how to create stop-motion animations using physical sets, characters, and real-world materials. From designing a story and building miniature environments to animating movement frame by frame, participants will gain a hands-on understanding of how traditional tabletop stop-motion animation works.

They’ll learn how to plan scenes, construct simple sets, move characters in small increments, and use a camera to capture smooth animation, turning everyday craft materials into moving stories.

Key Learning Modules:

• How Stop-Motion Works: An introduction to traditional tabletop stop-motion animation and how still images become moving scenes.
• Storytelling Basics: Explore simple story structure using a six-stage framework, with themed story prompts or the option to create an original idea.
• Designing Characters & Sets: Learn how to build characters, props, and miniature environments using craft materials.
• Scene Composition & Framing: Understand how to arrange sets, choose camera angles, and frame shots to clearly tell a story.
• Animating Movement: Practice moving characters in small, consistent steps to create smooth, believable motion.
• Lighting & Camera Stability: Learn simple techniques for steady cameras and even lighting to improve animation quality.

By the end of this workshop, kids will have created their own short tabletop stop-motion animation, featuring handmade characters, physical sets, and a complete story.

This workshop is now fully booked.
