What do you think about creating a Stop Motion animation video with your family? An original family movie!

This workshop was designed to bring families together to create a stop motion animation video while practising their native language, Brazilian Portuguese. We want to invite the participants to choose their favourite family history to turn it into a script. In our 90 minutes class, using storyboarding, building a set, characters, and open-source software, you will transform your story into a stop motion animation using a cardboard box that will magically become a "Home Studio Box". And the most exciting, we will invite you to share your Family Movie with the world! The video results of the workshop will be shared on the Mother Tongue Festival platform. That means you and your family will be the artists at the Festival. So, get your family together, grab your box and artistic supplies you find in your home and come to create an animation movie together.
