Animation: Make a Stop Motion Film In a Day

Step into the world of stop-motion animation and bring your imagination to life! In this fun, hands-on workshop, you’ll work with professional animators from Rainbow Collective to create your own animated characters and stories.

Whether you’re into drawing, filmmaking, storytelling, or simply love being creative, this workshop is a great opportunity to learn new skills, meet other young creators, and make something amazing this summer. 

At the end of the session, your animation will be featured in a showcase of short films made by young people at Roundhouse Studios—so you’ll even get to see your work on screen! Watch previous films made by participants here.

What You’ll Get:

• Learn the basics of stop-motion animation
• Experiment with green screen and special effects
• Create characters and design your own scenes
• Learn how a film crew works together
• Build confidence, express your ideas, and make new friends
