The More © R.L. Owens, 2007
In this workshop, participants will create their own
animated short film over the course of six Saturday
af ternoon workshops. Several classical animation
techniques to be explored for drawers and non-drawers
alike: drawn, object and replacement, as well as instruction
on animating to a soundtrack.
The first three sessions will be centred on special
techniques (flipbook, marionettes, sound editing),
whereas the next three will allow acquired skills to be put
into practice through the creation of an animated short
film. And to top of it all off, the homemade animations
will be shown during the last session!
