Tuesday 18 February 2025
Get inspired to animate with one of the world’s most-loved animation studios!
Join us for a morning of animation-inspired activities and an intro to the Animate with Aardman video series. In a practical session led by Gavin Strange, Director and Designer for Aardman, we’ll also hear about his fascinating creative career and dive into the world of stop-motion film.
A range of playful animation activities, from storyboarding to character design, will be available to test out together during the session. No animation knowledge or experience is required.
Aardman is a multi-award-winning studio and a world leader in animation. For almost 50 years, they have entertained and charmed audiences across the world, creating unforgettable characters and stories, including family favourites Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run and Shaun the Sheep.
The Animate with Aardman 6-part edutainment experience guides learners through the key stages of creating an animated film, exploring the wonderful world of stop motion film making (Ideas & Story, Characters & Props, Storyboarding, Lights & Camera, Animation, Sound & Foley). Find out more about how you could use the video series, free app and resources to support meaningful learning experiences in your setting.
