The Film Lab Week 5 Thursday: Stop Motion Techniques

Program Description:

This week we'll take a look at how animation is made in stop motion, and explore the different techniques that can be used to create different effects and movements.

There are three main types of stop-motion animation: cut-out animation, puppet animation, and claymation. Each type is created using a different set of materials and tools, but each technique gives you the chance to explore some of the same basic principles of animation: timing, space, and movement.

In this workshop, we'll show you how to use these techniques so that you can experiment with them yourself. We encourage students to try out all three methods during the course of this class!

The Film Lab Week 4 Thursday: Set Design

Program Description:

Set design is a critical part of the film production process and can make or break a production. It's important to understand how to use scale, perspective, and lighting to create compelling sets that will help tell your story.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to create realistic and compelling sets using simple materials like cardboard, paper, and fabrics.

You'll learn about:

  • Scale and proportion—how to use them to create the illusion of distance and size on stage or screen

  • Proper perspective—how the position of an object changes its perception of depth in space

  • Lighting—how it can enhance mood, time of day/night, and emotion
