Education and Business Summit 2023

Stop-motion is used in feature films and can take hundreds of people to complete. A great stop-motion can also be created with a single piece of string, a piece of construction paper, or even the things on your desk. In this session we will explore how to animate and shoot a stop-motion sequence and finalize our animations with Premiere Pro. Many aspects of stop-motion animation will be covered, including Claymation, toy-animation, and papermation. We will talk about lighting, shooting, compositing, rigging and editing. Through lecture and demonstration, we will cover photography basics, animation principles, and postproduction.

Today’s convergence media incorporates the corroborative reporting tools of audio and video, along with the power to produce and disseminate information at previously unimaginable speed and scale, as provided by the Internet. The visual journalist performs all of these duties, including editing and producing. It is becoming increasingly rare to find photographers performing only the duties ascribed to them in a pre-digital economy. Convergence media has taken photojournalism to new heights and also shaken it to its core, specifically in terms of the business model under which traditional media outlets are potentially adaptive. Mobile journalism and its offspring, citizen journalism, are playing a significant role in the changing visual media landscape.
