This is a chance for you to be mentored and supported throughout the course.Ĭourse Lead Stuart Messinger - who worked on Aardman’s feature film “The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!” before becoming one of the UK’s leading animation teachers - will deliver live-streamed lectures once a week, where the entire course cohort will meet.Īlongside that, former Aardman commercials director, filmmaker and now Head of Aardman Academy Mark Simon Hewis, will be available each week to meet-up and talk ideas as well as offer help with your weekly tasks.

Please sign up to the next Online Open Dayrun by the Course Leader via our Academy Website to find out more.Įach Aardman Academy course is devised by industry professionals with expertise in the specific field of study. Once you start making your final moving project, you decide how much time you want to dedicate to it. We estimate that the weekly activities will take you a minimum of five and a maximum of 10 hours to complete. There will be a fully supported active online community hub where you can share ideas, thoughts and problems throughout the course.
From week 8 to 11 you are supported while you make your final moving image piece. When completed you will upload your finished task to our secure and private course community where your mentor will watch it before your weekly feedback session. The tasks are usually in the form of two films which invite you to attempt a task at home.
You can watch them as many times as you want, pause, freeze, and step through frame by frame should you wish. These lessons have been filmed especially for you and this course alone. You will then be invited to explore the week's masterclasses and subsequent tasks, run and hosted by the animation team. You will be introduced to the week's activities via a live-streamed lecture with the course leader Stuart Messinger where you can ask questions, share ideas, discuss animation techniques and watch inspiring work. This course is aimed at people from the industry, university and self-taught animators to help improve their practice, skills and abilities. It falls under our Industry Training category of courses, so is taught at a level that expects some experience of animation beforehand. It covers 12-weeks of supported teaching and tasks to build the right foundations and develop practical skills in character animation, delivered by a team of highly experienced tutors and mentors. Working alongside Head of Animation Loyd Price and Aardman Co-founder and Creative Director Peter Lord we have devised Stop Motion 1: the first of our industry-led online stop-motion courses.
