My directorial Debut…

Friday, April 10th, 2009 movies, neat stuff

A few weeks ago I got wind of a free workshop happening at the National Film Board of Canada that was focused on stop motion animation techniques using clay. We were shown some animation films, and then were taken into the workshop-room to get crackin’ on our films. We were in random groups of 6, but since I had come with 3 of my friends, we only had two randoms on our team. They explained some basic concepts of stop motion and showed us a demo.

My film team consisted of Solomon Isaac, Jessica Watson, Jodi Christie and the two wonderful randoms whose names I never got. We dubbed ourselves “Team Awesome (Power Rangers)”, and it is no understatement.

You can view our finished and beautiful opus, Snakes on a Train, here.

I believe it speaks volumes about society today.

I hope this is only the beginning of what will become an illustrious and exciting stop-motion animation film career.
