From feature films to high fashion advertising, stop motion animation is seeing a surge in popularity. It’s the perfect time to learn some stop motion skills! In this workshop you’ll approach stop motion ideas with the unique possibilities of the medium in mind. Then, you’ll create two short films using your phone camera. This workshop is great for beginners and for anyone who is excited to create tactile animations with real objects. All you’ll need is a smartphone (Android or IOS). A DSLR or other digital camera is optional.
