Flip Book Animation Workshop for underprivileged kids
The Animation Society of India, in collaboration with the Mohile Parikh Center (NCPA, Mumbai) is conducting a full day Flip Book Animation Workshop for underprivileged kids from various NGOs across Maharashtra on Saturday, 19th December 2009 at NCPA, Mumbai.
Vaibhav Kumaresh will introduce the fascinating world of animation to a group of 40 children by screening a variety of animation films so that they can get a feel of the medium. He will then demonstrate how a series of single drawings/ images when played at a certain speed, create the illusion of movement. The children will then be given papers and pencils to doodle page by page. Once they have completed their drawings, they will put together their pages with a rubber band and flip them to see the animation they have created!
