Upcoming Events

  • Stop Motion Animation Training for Educators with Into Film and PINC College

    Discover how simple it can be to make stop-frame animations with children and young people. You’ll also hear from PINC College about how they’ve inspired their learners through stop motion and film, and the positive impact it’s had.

    Together, we’ll explore narrative, planning and design through examples of claymation, silhouette, paper cut-out and pixilation. You’ll learn how to create animations with children and young people, using whatever recording technology you have access to – whether that be digital cameras, iPads or smartphones. You’ll also learn how you can enhance them further with free, easy-to use editing software.  

    You’ll come away from the session with your own short animation as well as resources to help you inspire the animators of the future!  

    This training is designed for educators working with learners aged 5-18.
