Space Explorer Movie Maker

Two Day Course (Tue 27 & Wed 28 Aug)

This two day workshop will give an introduction into digital composites, green screen and stop frame animation by combining video footage of you exploring the stars in a spaceship of your own creation!

Students can learn how their favourite sci-fi movies are made as they create and animate their own spaceship before filming themselves against a green screen and combining the footage in Adobe After Effects to make a film of them exploring the distant corners of the galaxy.

Skills and techniques covered will include:

• Stop motion animation
• Green screen techniques
• After Effects compositing

This course is capped at only 6 places so advance booking is highly recommended. Suitable for those aged 10-15 years, a knowledge or animation or filmmaking is not required.

Please bring a packed lunch with you. Parents welcome to stay to help younger children and join in the fun.
