Animation

From flip-books and line-drawn characters to paper and sculpey figures, anything that can be moved, adjusted, manipulated and photographed can become the subject for stop-action animation. In this creative, collaborative animation studio, students developed storyboards and characters as they designed the backdrop and take shots for a 15-30 second short animation. By documenting each set-up, with adjustments between each shot, students learned how to bring characters alive the old-fashioned way.
