Many Movements! (Even More Precision In Stop Motion Animation)

Completed by 4 learners
Ages 12-17
Live One-Time Class
Most shots, sequences, and scenes in animated films have multiple things moving at the same time. How do we keep track of all this to make sure we get each shot captured correctly as efficiently as possible?

Class Experience

In this one-hour workshop class, I will demonstrate techniques for controlling multiple object movements when capturing frames for one or more shots in an animation sequence.
We will explore strategies for managing multiple movements in students’ own animation creations, and we’ll discuss specific approaches for students’ own animation ideas - especially ways to help yourself keep track of these multiple changes across any number of shots, for different parts of shots and sequences.  (Think about what it takes to look in two different directions while you’re running in a straight light for ten seconds!)
At the end of the hour, students will be ready to tackle more complicated motion shots and sequences in their own animation projects.

Learning Goals

Students will learn techniques for planning and tracking multiple movements across shots for improved precision in the capture of complex motion in their stop motion animations.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I think stop motion is an excellent combination of the arts, science, math, and technology.  As an art form, it is accessible and approachable to anyone, regardless of background knowledge.
I have been making stop-motion animated films for nearly thirty years, starting when I was a middle school student.  I currently run The Wolfbird studios, a learning-focused animation and interactive media studio.  The most recent stop motion animation, created in collaboration with a dance professor at a nearby university, is currently on the festival circuit and has already started winning awards: most recently Best Experimental Film at the Frostbite International Online Film Festival.
