Animation

We love animation at Cascade! We are always looking for new ways to create animated films using stop-motion techniques, computers and lots of imagination. Come and share your ideas and create the animated films you want to make. Check out some of our community animation projects at www.youtube.com/cascadehull (new window)

Annie’s Slippers

Animate – Workshops 2008

Great to have the chance to be involved with unstructured, playful animation workshops, at a local youth centre (Kingston Y.C. – Hull) using I Can Animate, a box full of toys and loads of imagination. The main difficulty with these sessions in negotiating do-able stop motion scenes with young people who are taken with the unlimited nature of Pixar. The compositing features of I Can Animate help, but need some patience and lots of time. The answer is to explore the stop-motion element as a group – everyone can have a role here – and then break the drawing tasks down – so the young people can get on with this time intensive task in their own time. Watch this space for more blog entries and the final animated film in a few weeks…
