Filmmaking Fun
Our program will start by
demonstrating
how
motion pictures and
television are illusions
that create the idea of
motion. The children will
then work hands-on
producing animations on
35mm film and create
tracings of animation cells
on light boxes. At the end
of the class, their films will be shown on a movie
screen. We will explain the difference between line
animation and stop-motion animation. The
children will then produce their own stop-motion
animation using pose-able figures. At the end of
the class, their stop-motion animation will be
shown on the movie screen. The students will then
produce another stop-motion film using poseable dinosaurs on a movie-set. At the end of the
class, the students will see their final stop-motion
animation on a movie screen. The class will also
be producing live green screen effects, where the
students can see themselves inside a major
motion picture film. Children will see themselves
in a scene of the Harry Potter film. They will also
be dressed in costume and use movie props, such
as a flying broom. The students will also see
themselves on a movie screen as they are riding a
high-speed rollercoaster. We continue the green
screen technology as the students see themselves
inside the movie Jurassic Park. The children will
be running from a T-Rex, hiding from Raptors,
and feeding a Brontosaurs with a prop branch.
We will discuss the animatronic effects used in
movies, as we will present to the students our
robot chimpanzee from our motion picture
museum. Later, the students will create a stopmotion film using themselves as the special effects
characters. They will then produce a movie
special effects film using the techniques of stopfreeze, which was depicted in the television series
Bewitched.
