Bring your story to life and create eye-catching effects with animation under-the-camera! Begin your animation journey with Dragonframe – the digital image capture software trusted by major motion picture studios and independent filmmakers alike. Participants will explore the basics of Dragonframe and learn fundamentals of stop-motion and traditional animation through hands-on learning, screenings and discussion of significant works. Drawings, paper-cut-outs and everyday objects will be used to explore timing and spacing, frame-by-frame in this 2-day intensive workshop. Participants will get a full day of free Dragonframe time to experiment further on their own after the workshop is completed.
