Michelle Ciardulli will teach a Children's Animation Workshop for children grades 3-9 at Cinema Arts Centre, co-produced by the Long Island Motion Pictures Arts Center and Museum, from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 23 and July 30.
The session on Saturday teaches stop-animation. Those attending will watch a clip from Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas" and a clip from the 1933 film, "King Kong." We then have the children shoot a scene of stop-motion animation using pose able figures. The finished video is shown after the session.
The July 30 session teaches movie special effects using LIMPACM’s support staff and green screen chroma key set, including video cameras, special effects video mixers, monitors, movie lights and green screen. The children see themselves flying on a magic carpet over Long Island, being a drum major conducting a toy band, or shopping at a toy-size farmer's market on a train set. We show a clip of various movies and the behind the scenes look at how green screen effects are used in movies.
