Hands-on Animation Workshops
In addition to quality films, BAICFF offers children hands-on fun. In 2013 we will have several exciting workshops. All workshops are led by Academy Award-nominated Pixar animator Jim Capobianco, and staffed by enthusiastic and talented film students from Berkeley City College.
Sand Animation Workshop
Make sand come alive! Draw creatures, people, cars, trees – anything! – and make them flow together into a short film. This very simple and fun technique leads to beautiful and exciting results. After the festival, we will post the final films for download so that each child has a copy of her own. DVD copies available upon request. We plan to screen a sneak peek at footage from the workshop before the afternoon feature.

Clay Puppet Animation Workshop
Our most popular workshop! Decorate and film your very own, professional stop-motion puppet and take the puppet home with you. Spend the first half of the workshop personalizing your "actor" with googly eyes, buttons, feathers, etc. Then lights, camera, action – it’s time to make your puppet come alive. Use your imagination to place your little "actor" in a series of poses that add up to action! After the festival, we will post the final films for download so that each child has a copy of her own. DVD copies available upon request. We plan to screen a sneak peek at footage from the workshop before the afternoon feature.

Pixilation Workshop
What is Pixilation? It’s an animation technique that uses the most readily available tool at your disposal - your body! In this workshop, the participants are the actors. Just change your pose slightly from one photo frame to the next and you will magically float, fly around a room, ice skate, disappear and reappear in a different location, slide along the ground, drive an invisible car, or almost anything else you can imagine! After the festival, we will post the final films for download so that each child has a copy of her own. DVD copies available upon request. We plan to screen a sneak peek at footage from the workshop before the afternoon feature.| Date: | Saturday, January 26 & Sunday, January 27, 2013 | |
