Stop Motion Animation Workshop with artist Graeme Patterson

Join artist Graeme Patterson for a casual, quick, and fun workshop tutorial for creating stop-motion animation for all ages. Much like a game of charades, each participant will animate at least one short video using their own body as a puppet. Group animations will also be encouraged. Participants will see how each animation is filmed and processed through the use of a DLSR camera and a laptop using stop-motion animation software.

Drop in, no registration required! Stop by the exhibition, Material World  to see how artist Kristan Horton uses stop motion animation in his work.
