Description
Will it come as a shock if we tell you that the dream of moving pictures dates back to the times before the invention of cinema? We inevitably associate animation with the flickering image in the frame of a TV-set or on the cinema screen. However, is it possible to create animation without the use of technology? Can you animate without expensive photo equipment?
You are kindly invited to take your seat in the time machine for a moment and travel to the not-so-distant era that preceded the time of the pioneers of cinema. With the help of generally available art supplies, workshop participants will create simple optical toys that, when set in motion, will reveal their magical, animating potential. Workshop participants will learn the basics of animation and learn how little it takes to become a young artist!
Stages
1. Film no. 1: Before cinema, or the short history of optical toys - taumatrope, fenakistiskcope, zoetrope.
2. Film no. 2: Preparing to work:
3. Movie 3: Construction of a fenakistiscope.
Participants are asked to send a short film, about 10 seconds long, made with a vertically positioned cell phone, showing the end result of the workshops.
