Stop Motion Animation, Foam & Latex Puppet Building Workshop

This evening workshop is designed to teach you the basics of lip-synching in stop-motion animation.

Using a plasticine puppet you will learn how to create the illusion that your puppet is speaking and how to create expressions that make the viewer feel as though your puppet is thinking.

During this workshop, you will learn how to ​create a puppet from plasticine and lip-synch using sculpting tools to cut out different shapes to create words.

In addition to this, you will also learn the basics of Dragon Frame, which is essential stop-motion software where you can playback your footage and see your puppet move. It will also allow you to make amends along the way as you can track the flow of movement as you are working.

Beginners Stop-Motion Animation / Lip-Syncing Workshop

Working with simple materials and your smartphone, Leo will guide you through the process of erasure animation in charcoal. Drawing, capturing, erasing and re-drawing, you will make a series of ephemeral frames to produce your own moving image.

The week will start with an introduction to inspiring charcoal animations, as well as process and technical set up. You will then jump straight into experimental mark making before capturing a time-lapse charcoal drawing as the first shot of your final piece. Each day, you create another shot exploring mood, character or action. At the end of the week, you will have a short silent film ready to share online, should you wish.

Each day ends with a delicious vegetarian lunch (included) and a chance to share your work in progress with the group.

No experience is necessary, but you will need to bring a smartphone and charger.

Halloween 2 Day Stop-Motion Animation, Foam & Latex Zombie Puppet Building Workshop

Hello Everyone,

I have finally added a new workshop where you will learn how to make a full silicone mould. This is perfect for model-makers looking to replicate small resin objects and is also perfect for puppet fabrication.

This is an all inclusive workshop where all materials will be provided.

I have just two workshops available in June, so if you are interested, book fast as there are only 4 places on each.

If you have the skills and desire to move, manipulate and record objects repeatedly in stop motion animation then start now. The most efficient way is to use pop up and cut-out materials for the characters and objects so you can quickly adjust and move them into the correct sequence ready for the next shot.
