Did an animation workshop at glusburn institute. I was working but spent most of the time doing my own animation which ill post up soon. I worked with plastecine, a stock background using iStopmotion and final cut pro. It was good fun but the point was to teach people to be creative with stop motion animation... I'm not an expert but with Blaize's kit its dead easy. Look at the pictures!
I learnt to use Istopmotion which is a very basic bit of software. Its very effective though. We were working with HD cameras mounted and point vertically or horizontally at a piece of blue paper. We then used chroma key to put backgrounds behind what we animated.
I also worked with a group of 15/16 year old helping them to make theirs.
This is the one I made
This workshop was a good experience for me as I may be taking this project on in the future as Blaize community arts have been asked by the arts council to start training up young people to manage their projects.
Blaize have become well established and successful by paying attention to what the Arts Council want to see in community arts and playing to those needs. This is an important thing to learn if I want to be a community artists.
