Stop-Motion Animation workshops. Open to 3rd Class up to Transition year students in Kerry.

‘CREATE + ANIMATE’ workshops developed conceptual, creative and storytelling skills, and focussed on the process of animation; from concept stage and storyboarding through to creating stop-motion animations.

The project covered;

  • story development and storyboarding

  • set design

  • prop design

  • music/sound design

  • stop motion animation

  • editing in the application ‘Stop motion studio’

The project also offered Class Teachers the opportunity for cross-curricular learning, whereby subject matter could be informed by another project the children are working on at school; such as a science experiment or history project.

Children will have the opportunity to share their animations with family and friends, as we will create an online gallery, where their work will be proudly showcased on completion.

Using the application ‘Stop Motion Studio’, children received an introduction to the following animation approaches;

  • found object

  • hand drawn

  • cut-out

  • claymation

Course Structure;

  • Workshop 1: Idea generation, Concept, Story and Storyboard development

  • Workshop 2: Photography and Stop-motion animation

  • Workshop 3: Photography and Stop-motion animation

  • Workshop 4: Editing and Adding Sound
