Year 6 Pupils Get Animated!

 Working with a mannequin  Year 5 pupils work their magic!

Year 6 pupils recently took part in a Stop Motion Animation workshop delivered by Mr Adrian Chorlton, from Days of Wonder, where they worked in small groups to produce their own stop motion animated film with the same software used to make Wallace and Gromit.

Prior to the workshop, pupils scripted and planed their short, animated film. On the day they learned the basics of how to make stop motion work so that they were able to make full use of the time available to shoot and edit their film.

Here’s what they thought – in their own words!

It was really fun and interesting afternoon-T.B.
