V4 ACADEMY | WORKSHOP: ANIMATED FILM FOR CHILDREN

Partner: BRNO16 Country: Czech Republic This creative workshop is a continuation of the work done in 2018. “Animated Film for Kids” helps children (8-12yrs) create their own animations, from learning the methods, put them in practice, to presenting their final product in a international film festival. The subjects and products of the activities can be as experimental, educational and imaginative as the creators themselves. This is an opportunity which gets the younger public involved in the world of cinema through non-formal education, presenting the field as a unique tool of artistic expression. Stop motion animation is a simple and effective way of creating impressive animation, and the workshop coordinators teach the pupils how to make such animations, step by step. The participants begin with an initial concept, learning how to storyboard, constructing a set, building characters, animating while editing using specific software and hardware tools. Making use of cameras, tripods, tablets and PC’s for editing the work, the creative group will bring ideas and everyday objects to life in 2D or 3D animations. The course of the workshop will expand children’s understanding of several subjects connected to culture, identity and folklore from the Visegrad region.
