Creative animated film production during the summer holidays
Under the guidance of Jena-based artist André Helbig, participants will develop their own stories throughout the week. Using various media such as drawing, printmaking, and sculptural materials, the children will design their own settings and characters. By photographing minimal changes step-by-step, a classic stop-motion film is created frame by frame. In the final step, the results can be enhanced with sound or music.
The workshop offers a varied activity to kick off the summer holidays. On Friday, all completed animated films will be presented together to conclude the project week.
Registration and requirements
Due to the limited number of participants (maximum eight people), prior registration is mandatory. Further information on the program and registration can be found on the official website at www.abendschule-jena.de/sommerferien-2026.
