Shadow Puppet (very) Short Film - Stroud Film Festival Workshop

  • The Museum in the Park Stratford Park, Stratford Road Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, GL5 4AF United Kingdom (map)

An exciting creative opportunity for older children and teenagers (ages 10+) to work with their parents, grandparents or aunts and uncles and make a very short Shadow Puppet film:

Construct a simple shadow puppet film scene and learn to devise an action sequence using block cut-outs as your characters, props and scenery.

Work with artist and illustrator Imogen Harvey-Lewis to experiment with shape, outline, movement and character to create an atmospheric black and white reel of your own. The simplicity of this art form allows for maximum inventiveness and effect.

Construction; drawing; paper-cutting; lighting; practice; voice over; action and fun. All together all the time. Simple idea = clear thinking = big possibilities!

Bring your own lamp or torch.

For ages 10+, for parents/guardians and young people to work and enjoy together.

Booking required, cost £10 per family group (up to 4 people including one adult/parent or guardian). Book online or call 01453 763394.
