E.B.2.3 Tecnopólis
A workshop introducing the stop-motion animation technique and the principles of film editing at the end of which the children will produce a small animated film.
Pre-defined scripts will be presented to the students that will be designed and produced frame by frame through digital photography, using paper cuts. Later, these frames will be animated and assembled using a professional video editing program.
Through the design of scenarios and character animation, we aim to stimulate the creativity of each participant to seek for different solutions to script problems, image and movement.
