Course: Animation Puppet and Set Design

What happens

• First, you’ll choose a scene from a favourite film or cartoon, one character and a simple action to recreate.
• Next, you’ll assemble a movable puppet on a wire armature: shape its body, make its arms, sculpt and paint its head. You’ll sew a costume by hand, then add hair and small details.
• After that, you’ll build a compact set with props, textures and colour.
• To finish, you’ll try stop-motion filming on your phone: set up the camera and lighting, start moving the character and edit the footage into a short video.
