2.1- Stop Motion Workshop
Advanced (Independent Stop Motion Filmmaking)
Sunday April 20, 2008
10 – 5pm
A look at the world of independent stop-motion filmmaking, covering the spectrum of how it's done and how best to apply it to your own potentialproject. We'll take a glimpse into what equipment is used, to cost effective lighting techniques to basic set building and prop-making techniques. Also, fundamental animation filmmaking principals will be covered, such as the importance of story and unique artistic style in indie filmmaking, from someone who's been through it (and survived!).
Instructor : Mike Weiss
Born and raised in Southern Ontario, Mike studied Classical Animation at Oakville's Sheridan College. In the fall of his graduating year, he performed at the Ottawa International Animation Festival in the scratch-on-film troupe, 'Scratch Track'. Since then Mike has worked on and helped initiate several short films, music videos, and television programs utilizing a variety of animation techniques, though he most enjoys working in the tangible 3 dimensions of stop-motion. In 2005 he worked on the animated short, "Ray Harryhausen Presents: The Pit and the Pendulum", for which he was tickled to receive praise from the legend himself.
Mike's own stop-motion animated short film, "Inheritance" has been screened in festivals throughout North America and Europe, including its debut at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and its inclusion in the animation industry publication Stash magazine. He is currently working on his follow-up film with the National Film Board.
