Animate Your Learning! Or Just Stop Motion Animation

We can animate anything! Students bring their learning and stories to life utilizing stop motion techniques and skills as teams developing a range of 21st century and STEAM mindsets.

David strives to accommodate to the technology available and can use iPads, Chromebooks or laptops. During the residency students will create short movies to bring their learning to life. We structure the work into Pre-production, Production, and Post-production. Students move from idea generation and planning, through the creation of their story, culminating in the editing process needed to complete the short film for presentation.

Session 1 can be done as an assembly style in Grade bands if space is available.
