Moving < img > Storytelling

TEEN WORKSHOP
July 15-19, 10am-3pm

- Create your own comic strip or animated film using open-source technology.
- Learn how to make GIFs with special effects.
- Discover the new Meemoo platform, which enables instant app-hacking right in your browser.

GIFs are animated images that work in all web browers. Participants will learn how to create them, and experiment with moving-image techniques such as stop-motion animation (frame-by-frame movement), rotoscoping (image tracing), and pixilation (stop-motion with live actors). Experiment with special types of GIFs including cinegraphs (animations with partial movement) and wiggles (pseudo-3D images).

Participants should plan on attending each day of the workshop. The week will conclude with a pizza party and demonstration of everyone's work. Bring your parents and friends!
