STOP MOTION PUPPET ANIMATION WORKSHOP

Instructor: Steve Cossman
Tuesdays, March 1st, 8th, 15th &22nd 7:00-9:15pm

In this workshop participants will learn to create their own stop motion animation short film.

Designed to introduce you to the wonderful world of puppet animation, you will begin by designing your own puppet and then learn to choreograph movement one frame at a time. Starting with a brief history of stop-motion films and filmmakers, students will get their hands dirty almost immediately. The entire sequence will be shot on film, developed and screened within the course of the workshop.

The ambitious goal is to have all participants work together collaboratively on a short 2-minute film. Students will walk away with hands on experience of stop-motion puppet animation, a copy of the finished film work and the knowledge to continue to working independently. All materials will be provided for, but students will be encouraged to develop their puppets with materials at home.

COURSE FEE: $90 (includes film and materials)
CLASS CAP: 8 students
