School workshop in July

Lately I have been the planning an Animation Activity Day at Greenfields School - Newton Aycliffe. The workshop will be on 17^th July with a group of ten students. Encouraging participants to think about how they view the everyday world.

First we will animating a route in an outside environment using digital stills cameras; incrementally taking shots, afterwards learning to use Adobe Flash software to combine the stills.
After lunch we'll be recreating environments using CGI software Sketch-up and creating animations from these simulations.
The conclusion of the workshop will see participants with hybrid animation sequences including real/digital simulation; learning two animation techniques and two software programmes.
