Description:

In this workshop, students will dive deep into the fascinating world of animation.  Whether it’s 2D or 3D, digital or hand drawn, stop-motion or After Effect, students can choose the medium which best suits their story.  The students will also have access to a professional motion capture suit. (If you aren’t familiar with this, it’s what they used for Gollum in the Lord of the Rings). 

Animation gives the creator total creative control to make their visions into a reality. So whether you want to make a character-based narrative, an experimental film, or a dynamic title sequence, this workshop is for you!
