Your own animated film
Animation workshop with Maja Pilati and Jana Nestler
Target group: Children and young people aged 10 to 14 years
In the analogue animation workshop “Bringing characters to life: Your own animated film” you have the chance to get creative together with up to seven other children! Together with filmmaker Maja Pilati and art & culture maker Jana Nestler, you will immerse yourself in the exciting world of animated film.
In just one day, you will develop your own fantasy characters and bring them to life on 35mm film. You will learn how animation works frame by frame, how to edit a film and, if you like, even set it to music. At the end, you can present your own little film loop to the group – a film that repeats itself over and over again!
In addition to all the new techniques, you will also realise how you can overcome challenges in the animation process and develop more and more creative ideas. The workshop will help you to boost your self-confidence by seeing how your own idea becomes a real film step by step. And the best thing is that you will not only have a lot of fun, but also experience how great it is to work together with others on a creative project.
