Straight Ahead: Intro to Stop-Motion 

Objects come to life in stop-motion one frame at a time, in a mode of animation known as straight-ahead. To build a performance, each frame is destroyed to create the next. This hands-on workshop is a primer in the production skills and principles of stop-motion animation. Students will learn to craft paper cut-out puppets, collaborate on an exquisite corpse and be introduced to a selection of techniques to create their own stop-motion animated films.
