Animation Domination Workshop!

Anyone can animate!

All ages are invited to drop by and take part in this hand drawn animation workshop. Participants will rotoscope (trace real video footage) onto blank notecards then learn how to digitize their drawings to create animations ready to share via social media and more. Feel free to bring a piece of video you’d like to rotoscope or even your favorite book passage/song you’d like to write out and animate! Local animation enthusiast and shenanigan aficionado Alex Roberts will be on hand for instruction, to share his animation work, and to offer encouragement.

Animation Domination is hosted by Alex Roberts. Alex received his BA in Film & Electronic Arts at noted “weird person school” Bard College. His thesis film, Celestial Railroads explores landscape and motion through 16mm black and white film and rotoscope animation. His latest animation project, entitled <n0stalg1a>: Random Access Dreams, will accompany the set by his band The Y Lie at The Main Street Museum on Saturday, January 20th. Alex is a firm believer that “Animation Is For Everyone, Never Stop Animating!”
