Eco City Animation Workshop participants will collaborate on an animated short that creates a portrait of the city of Portsmouth, drawing on individual knowledge and shared perspectives while advocating for environmentally sustainable urban planning and practices. Students will be working with a hands on stop motion process that covers basic animation theory and persistence of vision, using cutout animation that combines photo collage and drawing. They will use Dragonframe and Final Cut Pro to create short animated sequences frame by frame.
Participants are welcome to bring any materials they would like to add to the animation, such as photos of the city, photos of plants, or anything they want to use as collage for cutouts.
Each participant will receive a digital copy of the finished animation.
Workshop is limited to 20 participants. All materials for the workshop will be provided– these costs are included in the registration fee.
