Introduce kids to stop-motion animation and animated filmmaking.

Animation is all over–from movies and TV to apps and video games–and as of late’s tech-savvy kids know all about it. With the accessibility and ease of use of cameras and video-editing software, people of every age are learning how one can make stop-motion animation. In Animation Lab for Kids, artists, teachers, and authors Laura Bellmont and Emily Brink present exciting, fun, hands-on projects that teach kids a range of animation techniques. From the classic zoetrope, flip book, and cel methods (which don’t require any devices or technology) to different methods of shooting, the lessons require no previous experience for either child or adult. Experimenting with quite a few art materials (drawing, clay, and paper cut-outs), young animators will discover ways to plan a film through writing, storyboarding, and creating sets. The book also features helpful and informative sidebars at the history of the early animation techniques in addition to the inspiring work of a few of as of late’s innovative and influential animators, including Kirsten Lepore, Emily Collins, Hayley Morris, and PES.

The authors are co-founders and lead teachers of The Good School, an arts-education school that cultivates and combines traditional art-making skills and the technologies considering stop-motion animation filmmaking. They teach animation techniques at camps, schools, and events, including the New York International Children’s Film Festival.
