FrançaisShadowcasters and Frooom! Film School have prepared another workshop to say goodbye to summer and wrap up the holidays. The animation workshop will be held in Zagreb from August 25th to 29th, led by Marino Paliska.
During this five-day workshop, participants will explore the exciting history of animation and animation toys, discovering various techniques and processes that have shaped this art form. Under expert guidance, they will have the opportunity to create their own story, shoot and animate a film, edit it, and prepare it for final post-production (if all stages are not completed within the five days, the project will be prepared for later finishing).
The workshop is designed to offer participants hands-on experience in creating an animated film – from idea to finished product. In this way, they will develop creativity, teamwork, and technical skills, while also gaining insight into the rich tradition of animation as well as modern digital art tools.
