Stop Motion Animation Workshops - green stories (III)

And last but not least, here is The Big Drought!

As you can see the drought seems to have captured the imagination of the young participants, I love the mixture of serious messages with some cheeky sense of humour!

It would be great if the bloggers could vote on the best animation using the poll on the right. I did promise some prizes for the best story and I have not been able to pick a winner by myself...

Stop Motion Animation Workshops - green stories (I)

Dear Eco Warrior bloggers,

Today I want to show you something that I am particularly proud of.

Every term Banksia Gardens Community Centre delivers Stop Motion Animation Workshops for young people with some funding from Hume City Council.

For four weeks participants (aged 8-16) learn some basic techniques and go on to developing their own stories. This time we asked them to produce stories with an environmental theme.

With the great help of the facililator, Alex Machin (terrific guy!), last term's group has managed to produce three incredible movies that I will post over the next couple of days. Well done!
