Workshop: Creating small worlds: design and creativity for stop motion
A workshop to explore the creation of small worlds through design, art and creativity applied to stop motion. We will work on building miniature spaces and sets, and talk about materials, color, composition, scale and light in order to develop a visual approach with an identity of its own.
Through practical examples, we will explain how to turn an idea into a narrative space and how every artistic decision can add to the creation of a story in motion. An ideal space for anyone with questions, doubts, queries and the urge to dive into stop motion.
