About the Young Director’s Workshops

Young Director’s Workshops take Michigan youth’s interest in film to the next level.  Award-winning film professionals offer one-day seminars in various aspects of filmmaking including: film production, direction, editing and sound.  Often children leave these sessions with an appreciation for the richness and scope of film, along with a tangible artifact of their activities - films they can view and share with their community.

Subject to erratic behavior or unpredictable change; somewhat unbalanced mentally; bemused; whimsical. A stop-motion technique in which objects and people (meat puppets) are photographed frame by frame to create unusual effects. We will be animating to a pre-recorded soundtrack, following the audio frame by frame utilizing exposure sheets. This is your invitation to total insanity. We will be capturing the results on the Lunch Box Sync Multi-reel from Animation Toolworks.
