The most exciting and funny workshop was held on Saturday, when the teenagers learned the new visual technique – Stop-motion. Stop-motion is an animation technique, where one person moves the objects, while another one takes pictures one by one to create an illusion of independent movement in a coherent film.
Firstly, Abdurrahim and Vedat showed several simple movies, where the stop-motion technique was used, and explained how these films were made. Some of them were very funny and quite primitive; others demanded more time and patience.
Stop-motion videos can be made in a mobile app Stop Motion Studio. Firstly, the youngsters worked on the script of their films and created the clay figures. Afterwards they started to take pictures with the mobile phones one by one, while moving their figures. It was a pretty hard work, but in the course of 2 hours everyone managed to take around 100 pictures, which became a movie.
At the end of the workshop all the participants could watch their freshly made films on a big screen. The majority admitted that it was the most creative and entertaining workshop of VISUALIZE IT project. Everyone used his imagination to create something beautiful and useful.
The participants learned from this workshop that the most important thing is always to have a good idea. In the modern world there are plenty of technical possibilities to bring your ideas to life. The only thing needed is to be creative.
