3. Translating a 2d character design into an armature diagram
4. Live demonstration of the process of making armatures
5. Tips and suggestions on materials
6. Action analysis
7. Shoot set up
8. Live demonstration of the stop motion animation shoot
9. Playback of the action and review
10. Exhibition of participants’ armatures

A surprise awaited the participants post-lunch as the inimitable Dhimant Vyas joined in and gave an impromptu presentation, sharing his experiences and some of his recent work. He also selected the best models from among those created by the participants and the best 5 were given prizes by TASI. Here are some photos from the session:
