This session bring the inanimate to life in a high-energy animation workshop! Using Stikbot Studio a dedicated stop-motion software, and Lego figures pupils will learn the meticulous art of frame-by-frame filmmaking.
Students will master the concepts of “onion skinning,” frame rates, and character positioning to create smooth, professional-looking movements.
The session takes a cinematic turn with the integration of Green Screen technology. Pupils will learn how to “chroma key” their footage, replacing green backgrounds with custom digital environments to place their Stikbots in any setting imaginable—from deep space to historical landmarks. It’s an ideal way to combine technical precision with boundless creative storytelling.
Final editing and export will utilise iMovie.
