SUMMARY:Stop-Motion Animation Workshop #1 (open to public)
DESCRIPTION:Stop-motion animation is a fun way to capture your stories and entertain your friends and family. Many famous animators got their start creating stop-motion animation. This process involves posing characters in scenes and situations and photographing each stage of their movement to create animation that reveals their story. In this digiSTORY KC workshop\, participants will work in teams of 2 or 3 to create an original story which they will animate through Claymation\, LEGO® characters or other objects. They will photograph their character scenes against a Green Screen background using a laptop and webcam. They will add voiceovers\, sound effects\, music tracks\, titles\, credits and other features to provide multimedia interest. They will publish their animation to digiSTORY KC’s YouTube Channel where they can share their story with friends and family\, \nRecommended Ages: 9 – 15 \nDates: June 19 – 22 \nTimes: 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. \nCost: $150 per person (plus Eventbrite fees) \nLocation: digiSTORY Academy\, Suite 200\, Connecting for Good\, 3210 Michigan Avenue\, Kansas City\, Missouri 64109 \n \nNote: We offer a $15.00 discount per person when they register as a team. \nParticipants who complete workshop requirements for their team production will earn the following badge through LNRG-KC: \n \nSession 1: Participants learn about animation and how it works. They create a flip book and a thaumatrope to see how static pictures appear to move in animation and video. They learn about frames and frame rates for animation and video. They learn digiSTORY KC’s story model and work with teammates to create an original story. They create a storyboard and script for that story. They learn how animators use animatics to plan for voiceovers and other multimedia to pace the image requirements for the story.

SUMMARY:Animation: Making Pictures Move
DESCRIPTION:​This workshop provides hands-on learning about how animation works.  Concepts include “key framing\,”  “frame rates” and how the “persistence of vision” makes still images appear to move to the viewer.  In this session each girl will construct a simple “thaumatrope\,” and a “flipbook” that simulates animation.  The girls will view examples of animation at different frame rates and see how animators place images together to create animations. They will also have a brief hands-on experience using ZU3D software and LEGO® characters to piece together a short animated action sequence. \nLearners will have fun making a flip book and a thaumatrope to see how animation works

SUMMARY:Story Making
DESCRIPTION:How do you create a story “from scratch?”  This workshop helps Girl Scouts understand the key elements needed for a good story and provides prompts to help them form their stories.  We show digiSTORY KC’s story model using Lion King as an example of how good stories are constructed.  We also show a few entertaining clips from classic movies that illustrate how those key story requirements have worked effectively.  Girls will also work in small teams to create a “storyboard” – a 6-8 frame outline of a story concept they create.
