Animation Workshop at Alfriston School

 

Pupils at Alfriston School in Buckinghamshire participated in an Introduction to Animation workshop on Wednesday 14th June 2006.

The pupils used Apple Macintosh computers and a variety of software to create the animations below. iStopMotion software allowed the pupils to make the animation.

The group were given a theme 'disappear' which provided a constraint for their ideas. Pupils had only 90 minutes to plan and make a short animation, in which many recorded a soundtrack using GarageBand. The soundtracks were added to the animation using iMovie software.

Just seen your animated films that you produced with Alfriston School. They superb! I like them all ... especially liked the Pizza Cat then The Hungry Snake followed by the following two films Kidnap Chips and the Ice Cream Meltdown! Well done :-)

The music was up beat and very catchy! Fab choice of music! :-)

Looking forward to seeing more great animations from both schools!

Amy, you looked as if you enjoyed making those films and seeing them come to life! :-)
