Creating Animation in the Classroom

From the Nerve Centre's Creative Learning Centre comes a foolproof guide to making quality animations in the classroom or at home. This step by step handbook will walk you through the entire process from planning the story, creating characters and convincing backdrops, setting up your camera, managing the shoot and finally editing your film together. 


In 2013, the Nerve Centre's Creative Learning Centre gave over 900 school children in Derry~Londonderry the opportunity to create an animated 'Digital Book of Kells' for the 21st century. The successes and challenges encountered in nearly 40 classrooms along the way helped inform this interactive book.
