Stop Motion Animation - Session 3 of 3 ( for 3 - 6 year olds)

The Stop Motion Workshop is a fun and interactive experience designed for children who are curious about cartoons, animation and films. Children will work together, taking on different roles based on their strengths. Children will be able to build  teamwork, and problem-solving skills while learning the basics of stop-motion animation. By the end, they will have collaborated to create their own unique group animation.

Session 3 is all about post production. This is the part where we put all the photos together into animation scenes. Assisted by Parent, and guided by Michael, Children will work iPads using video software to bring the images to life. At the same time, another group of junior sound engineers will work with parents to produces the sound effects and select the soundtrack to the animation.
