In this one-day workshop participants will learn the basic principles of animation. We will cover a range of traditional and experimental techniques, as well as provide information for constructing a simple animation set-up in your own apartment or studio so that you may continue your practice. The course will meet 11am, beginning with a brief history of animation and screening examples by Japanese contemporaries. The goal is to have each participant conceive, draw and animate a simple action that can be looped infinitely to share with friends and family. Participants will walk away with hands on experience of hand-drawn animation, a finished short on loop, and the knowledge to continue to work in this practice at home. All materials will be provided for. Films made in this workshop will screen as part of the Experimental Spotlight program during JAPAN CUTS 2016!
