In a four-day master class, Oscar-winning animation director Suzie Templeton gives insight in her creative process and working methods. She presents the genesis of her films and focuses on the importance of stillness in animation. How to capture ones intentions and the characters in stop-motion? She talks about the formation of PETER AND THE WOLF, how the score interacts with the narrative and animation. Sketches, original puppets and the films will illustrate the process.
Main part of the master class consists of animating puppets. Participants are invited to bring their own puppets to animate. Armatures for animating are available on request.
Suzie Templeton’s look inside her working process and the discussion of the participants work will form the ground for the practically-oriented days to follow. Participants are emphatically invited to bring earlier works and work in progress to share and discuss.
Meet stop motion master Suzie Templeton and discuss your work and animate under her experienced and watchful eye.
