Learn how to make a 3D or 2D animation film.  This is an introductory workshop to stop-motion animation using an inexpensive app, Stop Motion Studio, with versions that work on android mobiles, iPhones, iPads and desktop/laptop computers.  Participants will learn how to use the app and some of the features to start creating and editing their own movies.
