Snip & Snap: Stop motion with collage workshop

Snip & Snap is back for Sydney Craft Week! Firstly, you will snip your collage pieces out and place them together, then you will snap your animation frame by frame with your phone to create your very own stop motion video, complete with sound effects.

No fancy equipment or experience needed. Whether you’ve never made anything before or you’re a seasoned creative looking to try something new and tactile, this workshop is designed to be fun and accessible.

Here’s what to expect:

• An intro to the magic of stop motion and collaging
• An overview of apps we can use for editing and adding audio effects
• Hands-on time cutting, collaging, and animating
• Learning to edit out videos and add sound effects
• A finished short video to take home and share
• Feel free to bring a character design you already have, or collage pieces precut. There will be some precut pieces ready to use too.

The workshop is run by jda, a mixed media artist working in animation and digital art. Passionate about making creative practice accessible and connecting with others.

All materials provided, just bring yourself and your curiosity!
