Animation Workshop.

Just got back from an outing with our youngest, Cameron.  I took him to a local arts/cinema venue in Lancaster called The Dukes.
He attended a short stop-motion & animation workshop which was put on by a guy called Bary Skillin who runs a company called Animation Nation.
Basically the kids get to make some figures or whatever they want from Plasticine material and then they can move to an animation table where an Apple Macbook and video camera is setup. From here they can use the iStopmotion software to create a short animated movie. 

These movies are then uploade to Youtube for the kids, their friends and family to see. You can see some of the animations here.

Great value and goof fun for £4.50!
