Schools
Animation is a versatile activity, suitable for all classrooms with an Arts, English or STEM focus. Our workshops support the Australian curriculum, providing an engaging activity to help develop the general capabilities of Critical and Creative Thinking, ICT, Personal and Social Capability and Literacy. It's a fun way to practice storytelling, problem solving, collaboration and creativity.
OSHC
Animation is a perfect activity for OSHCs, Libraries and other school holiday programs. Kids will stay engaged in learning throughout the break with an enjoyable and creative exercise. They come away with a movie to show their parents and a new hobby they can pursue during their time away from school. The workshops are in high demand during the school holidays so book early to avoid disappointment.
Parties
We can take the workshops anywhere! Your home can be turned into an animation studio for the day. A discounted rate of $350 is available for parties. However they can only be booked on weekends throughout the school term, not during the school holidays.


Space and Equipment Requirements
All the equipment and materials will be provided. All that is required from your end is a space at least the size of a typical classroom with tables and chairs. A hall, gym, or art room would be ideal.

Times, Age Limits and Group Sizes
The workshops are flexible and can be tailored to suit any schedule or situation. Below is a guide to each workshop activity. Most activities have a max group size of 30 in schools with a teacher present, or 24 if run independently. The times and age limits are negotiable. Please contact us with your specific requirements and we will do our best to accommodate.

Workshop Facilitators
 Our workshops are run by animation "GooRoos" Cam and Dani. We are stop motion specialists with a passion for teaching, and love to share our lifetime of film making experience with the next generation.

They will then create their own clay characters and animate them using the Stop Motion Studio app, before watching their films at the end of the session.

Using whiteboards is a quick and easy way to create 2D animation, and works great as a basic introduction to the technique. Participants will create their own drawn animated sequence, captured with the Stop Motion Studio app. The mobile devices will be setup on stands looking down at the table so the extra height can be an issue for smaller children if low tables aren't available.

Duration: 1-2 hours

Setup/Pack up/Reset time: 1.5hrs setup / 45min pack up / 20min reset between sessions

Recommended Age: 5+ (best suited for ages 8-13)

Pixilation workshops are great for active kids that want to star in their own movies. Participants will animate themselves doing extraordinary things like going through walls, sliding around on one leg or even flying. It is an ideal workshop if you are low on time or want to fit in many sessions in a day, as it takes less time than every other workshop to setup and pack up. A large space, preferably outside, is required so it is better suited to warmer months.


Duration: 1-2 hours

Setup/Pack up/Reset time: 1hr setup / 30min pack up / 15min reset between sessions

Recommended Age: 5+

Group Size: 30 max in schools, 24 max elsewhere (Ideally 10-20. Larger groups are fine but will require extra supervision if working outside.)

Flipbooks are a great way to learn the basic principles of animation. Participants will witness first hand how flipbooks produce "persistence of vision" and discover how this optical illusion makes all animation possible. They'll use small notepads as the perfect canvas for their mini artwork and head home with not just a flipbook, but also a video produced by photographing each page on the Stop Motion Studio app.

Duration: 1-2 hours

Setup/Pack up/Reset time: 1.5hrs setup / 45min pack up / 15min reset between sessions

Recommended Age: 7+ (best suited for ages 10+ as it requires more patience)

Skittles Animation workshops are a fun way to get kids excited about animation. It demonstrates that animation can be done with anything. This exercise is essentially whiteboard animation with the addition of skittles. Each participant will get a packet of skittles to use in their animation any way they can imagine. They must wait until the end of the session to eat their skittles so it is also a challenging exercise in patience and self control. This activity is best suited for a school holiday program or as a treat at the end of a series of other animation workshops.

Duration: 1-2 hours

Setup/Pack up/Reset time: 1.5hrs setup / 45min pack up / 20min reset between sessions
