The National Film Board visited Central Senior school recently to build student and staff knowledge and capacity in the areas of stop-motion film making and clay animation.
Staff and students were involved in two ½ day workshops. Each classroom teacher identified 5-7 classroom “leaders” to learn alongside them. Staff and students collaboratively developed stop - time and clay animation videos. The product staff and students developed in just a short time was amazing - it was a clear indication of what can be created with more time, support and fluency.
The National Film board offers a variety of workshops that target different audiences, ages and purposes. The cost for the workshop was affordable, however, they capped the workshop at 30 so providing access to all staff and students was not economically feasible. I believe it would be great learning for technology champions at each school to participate in and then share with their colleagues back at the school. The NFB also came out with a new movie making APP recently. You should definitely check it out.
We have included some photos and videos of our experience. Contact us if you have any questions.
