Become an animator for the day! Join Laura Bellmont of The Little Animation Studio for an introductory workshop on the art and process of stop-motion animation. Working with professional equipment and software, participants will have the opportunity to design and produce their own short films that can be screened, downloaded, and shared again and again.

 Each session includes:

-       Hands-on oversight from professional illustrator and animator Laura Bellmont

-       Access to state-of-the-art professional equipment

-       Use of and training in the professional software DragonFrame Stop Motion

-       Resources and knowledge to produce a short, animated film

-       The final product: a short animation that you have created as a team or individual.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore the magic of hand-drawn stop motion animation using professional software DragonFrame Stop Motion. Participants will be divided into several teams, each of which will produce and design unique hand-drawn characters and environments that tell one-of-a-kind short stories about dreamed-up worlds. The finished films will be edited together into a collaborative animated short film that can be screened, downloaded, and shared.
