Adult 16mm Animation Class
Leader: Film Maker Ben Popp
Using cut outs and the beautiful art form of 16mm filmmaking, participants will learn the elementary basics of stop motion animation.  As a collective we will come up with a short story and then begin creating characters and scenes to be drawn, cut out and constructed to the specifics of the storyline. Participants will be taught the most effective ways to build characters for such things as facial and limb movements using clear plastic and glue to create multiple layers.  As we animate our story, each individual will take part in the process of both shooting and character and scenery movements.   If Participants are up to the challenge we may be able to develop the film at the end of each day for watching during the next class, or that day depending on drying times and length of film.  At the final class we will make a soundtrack for our work using various instruments, or voice over narration to be edited onto the film by the instructor at home. 
Each participant will receive a DVD of the completed work.
Saturday in May 22 & 29th from 12-3pm
Cost: $80 + $10 lab fee due to instructor first day of class.
