Climate Change – Stop Motion Animation

What do we think about when we hear the words climate change? Our planet is constantly changing along with everything on it. Could humans evolve to live in the ocean or grow wings to fly above it, or could fish live on land and cows learn to swim?

Using story boarding, set and character design and open source software, participants will create a short stop motion animation about what the future might look like as a result of natural and man made climate change.

Outline of workshop

Day 1 – Story Boarding

Day 2 – Making a scene/set

Day 3 – Making characters & props

Day 4 – Animating your story

Day 5 – Editing, adding sound and completing project

Suitable for 11-13 year olds, these five workshops will take place on ZOOM, 10:30am-11:30am over the course of a week. Further details and a list of required materials will be provided when you book.  If you have any questions, please email info@riverbank.ie
