NFB Animation Workshop

Henri went to Toronto on Tuesday to the National Film Board to attend an animation workshop. After learning the theory/principles of animation we started by making a mini-flip book and then a 24 frame on a film strip to create a one-second animation. After lunch we split up into three groups of 5 or 6 to create a story, make the characters and accessories out of clay and then created a short (about 10 seconds) animation by taking individual video frames after moving the clay subjects slightly on the set. Then they mounted all the shorts together and we viewed them in the theatre room (click below to see the video).
