Walt Disney’s journey into the field of animation began with the stop-motion method. Before he started producing his own Laugh-O-gram short films, he worked for the Kansas City Film Ad Company, where he produced stop-motion commercials using paper cut-outs. Join us for this eight-week course and learn to make your own stop motion animation using paper! Explore the stop-motion process from puppet-building to filming your own animated short film.

All materials will be provided for students by the instructor.
