IT’S ALIVE! STOP-MOTION ANIMATION JAM with Daniel Crawford
This stop-motion animation workshop combines hands-on crafting with technology to bring student’s imaginations to life! Groups of students create characters and set pieces in preparation for writing, directing and animating their own short films. The animation process allows for a unique, collaborative form of storytelling, where multiple skill sets and imaginations come together in one story.
