Although the Manchester School of Art Club had explored animation before their Masterclass with London-based directors Wriggles and Robins, the day with Tom Wrigglesworth and Matt Robinson took their experience to a whole new and exciting level.
Matt and Tom, who take a playful approach to their professional output, showed the young people examples of their work and then challenged them to create stop-frame animations using templates, squeezy bottles full of pancake batter and hot plates.
In a lively, fun workshop members created the batter outlines, developed a narrative and chose a soundtrack. The day finished with an informative, informal question-and-answer session.
