Getting Animated with Weekend Animation School

By artsHub Red Door Studio | Wednesday, August 24, 2011

  

Ever wondered how an animation is made? Have you tried animation before and would like a chance to further your skills? Do you want to work towards recognised National Level Awards and even enter your films into festivals nation wide?

Red Door Studio regularly runs a variety of media workshops with schools, community groups and individuals with the aim of educating teachers and group leaders as well as students.
Home to award winning and acclaimed creatives, The Red Door was established in 2007, working on a wide and varied portfolio and growing from an animation production house into the multi facetted studio it is today, with a focus on quality narrative and storytelling.

Animation, Film and Photography are exciting and instantly engaging. Red Door Studio’s workshops help brake down barriers there may have been in the past with technology, equipment or knowledge and allow everyone to embrace media as the phenomenal tool for creative expression it really is.

Red Door Studio’s Weekend Animation School is for any age and ability, whether working towards a career in animation or just for fun. Working in Red Door’s award-winning studio, weekend animation students have the opportunity to try their hand at drawn, stop motion, cut out animation and more. You can visit the studio and talk to one of the in house tutors to see if this exciting opportunity is for you.

Each client is teamed up with an appropriate tutor who then works closely with him or her to encourage and advise. Each film created is completely student lead. Once completed, ‘Premiere’ event screenings for the finished films are organised in which pupils can invite friends and family to share in their work.

Individual tuition £26 per hour, group sessions available. Price includes tuition CRB checked professional animators, materials, equipment, software, time in a working animation house and an end of term DVD and showcase featuring your work!
