Creative Design of Figures and Sets
Under the guidance of Jena-based artist André Helbig, participants will develop their own stop-motion projects step by step. The participants will create a story and design the corresponding figures and sets themselves. Various techniques such as drawing, printmaking, and sculpting will be utilized.
From Single Image to Finished Film
Movement in an animated film is created by stringing together photographs of minimally altered scenes. In the final step of the workshop, participants will add sound, music, or effects to their work. At the end of the week, all creative results will be presented together.
