Girls and boys, we’re all set for the most devilish race in history! The grandstands are full of enthusiasts, the cars are lined up on the starting line, the teams are confident of victory, the track is clear. The countdown is heard: ready, set, go!
Through the collective production of a short-animated film, we intend to conduct an initiation experience to the techniques of animation in Stop-Motion, the principles of continuity, planning and cinematographic editing, as well as the sound processes of moving images.
