Introduction to Stop Motion Animation
REQUEST A SESSION
Animation begins one frame at a time. In this hands-on workshop, students discover how filmmakers transform everyday objects into moving characters using the art of stop motion animation. Through behind-the-scenes examples, guided demonstrations, and creative activities, students explore the techniques that bring animated stories to life before creating their own short stop motion animations. Utah Film Center provides all the equipment needed, making it easy for every classroom to experience the creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving behind this unique filmmaking process.
This workshop is only available in-person.
What to Expect –
Each 60-minute workshop includes a combination of lecture and hands-on activities. To ensure the best experience, we recommend limiting reservations to one class per workshop (up to 30 students). On the day of your workshop, the Teaching Artist will check-in at the front office before navigating to your classroom. The Teaching Artist will arrive 10-15 minutes before the workshop is scheduled to begin, and will quietly set up any needed equipment before beginning their presentation.
If you would like your entire grade level to participate in a workshop, or if you would like to request a date/time or location not listed in the booking calendar, please contact the Media Education Department at [email protected]. We love teaching multiple workshops when visiting your school and we are happy to arrange custom times that better-align with your bell schedule!
This workshop is only available in-person.
