Learning outcomes: 1- To provide the trainee with an understanding of the concept of animation and its relationship to still images, whether in photography or in the world around us, and how to use it to express ideas.2- To acquire knowledge of how to use stop-motion animation software for beginners, including the concepts of frames, timelines, speed, and other elements that determine stop-motion production. 3- The workshop aims to enable the trainee to produce a short stop-motion video clip using their own imagination. 4- From the above, it is natural that this will include guidance for the trainee on how to handle the materials they will use in the workshop, such as using pens or charcoal to draw on paper, or cutting paper for collage, or even other materials if the trainee chooses them, such as clay in case they want to produce a 3D stop motion. |
