Animation Workshop

Stop motion animation workshop begins as children create and draw a character of their own, then make a 3D version of these characters with modeling clays. After they bring their characters to life and design the setting of the story, the production process of the film begins. Little directors make their films by taking photographs frame by frame. We witness a process where children reveal the world of their own and at the end of the workshop, we have the chance to watch their films.
