My first online workshop with children from a primary school in Anklam started in June.

Film workshops 2015
New workshop film finished. This time Hansel and Gretel. You don’t have to understand German I think:

This film was realized with children around the age of 8 and 9 during a stop motion workshop in Berlin. In five days the children built the set and wrote the screenplay. One month later another group of children of the same age worked on the animation, the songs and sound design.
And for me it was the first time to edit in Lightworks. It worked well and was fun.
