Chilemonos: Stop Motion Workshop
Join us online for a Stop Motion Workshop conducted by Sofía Rosales (Mexico), the current production supervisor of Laika's art department for their new feature film, ‘Wildwood’, and Laika's animator, Kristian Larsen. This event is open to ECU community members.
We are pleased to invite you to be part of the 1st version of the Latin American Festival Chilemonos (CHM) in Vancouver.
Join us online for a Stop Motion Workshop on Thursday, October 24.
In this workshop summoned by Chilemonos, the audience will have the chance to learn about this fascinating technique known as stop motion. It involves photographing and then physically manipulating objects, environments and characters within your frame. As each frame is played in sequence, this technique creates the effect of the object moving by itself.
