Animation is the art of creating the illusion of motion through frame-by-frame manipulation. Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring different techniques of stop motion animation including mixed media, hand drawn, and cut paper. Participants will work in groups and on individual projects inspired by theme. No previous art or computer training is required, just a good imagination and some patience.

This workshop provides students with an introduction to the technical and aesthetic languages of video production. Shooting with Flip cameras and Zoom audio/video recorders and editing with Final Cut Pro, each student will produce a short piece investigating a subject of personal resonance and social relevance. Past subjects have included racial identity, young motherhood, and cultural segregation. Diverse approaches are encouraged, from traditional documentary to lyrical essay. An emphasis is placed on "new media" distribution via YouTube, blip.tv, and other websites.

Shooting on a “green screen” is the technique of shooting your subject against a green background that is later “keyed” out to replace the background with different footage. This workshop introduces you to the basics of setting up a green screen, lighting, shooting and the post-production process of working with green screen footage. You will shoot original footage and learn how to key the green screen in Final Cut Pro
