One of the quickest ways to teach animation skills is to animate the animators!

They wrote the story, built the sets, animated the characters, voiced the voices, designed the sound effects, and did the editing. They walked the red carpet, they EARNED the applause, they EARNED the accolades at the after-party.

A few movies in recent memory have featured 48, 60, and 120 fps viewing options, and to mixed reactions - as a recent article on the Ringer points out, ‘too much realism is the enemy of illusion.’

No matter the predisposition or temperament of the participant, all will have their fingerprints on the final product. All will have skin in the game.

Sound & video are becoming a basic language everyday in business, law, science, tech, education, etc. Media education should be taught as a skill starting as young as the early elementary school ages.

Our experience teaches us that when a group gets excited about story, the movie practically makes itself.

The barrier to enter in filmmaking is ZERO when just about everyone has a camera in their pocket and a Youtube channel.

"You already told me you see movies in your head when you dream! Is it possible movies are assembled in your head, just like in your dreams?"

Stop Motion projects sound like a nice extra, but they may be as core to literacy as reading and writing for this generation.

Thanks to Richard Williams, the Academy-Award winning force behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit, this happened.

We own it and so should you.
