Animation Filmmaking: Fighting Words and Brown Bag Films

A group of twelve 9-11 year olds will work together to script a short animated film. Dates are as follows and participants must be available for ALL sessions: 

• Saturday 11th February, 10.00 - 3.00pm (at Fighting Words)
• Saturday 25th February, 10.00am - 3.00pm (at Brown Bag)
• Saturday 3rd March, 10.00am -  3.00pm (at Brown Bag)

Sessions will take place both at Fighting Words AND Brown Bag Studios in Stoneybatter, Dublin 7.  The scriptwriting and character design will take place here at Fighting Words on the first day.  Participants will also have a chance to help with design of characters etc, so this project will be of suitable not only for children interested in scriptwriting but also in illustration (PLEASE NOTE their artwork may not necessarily be used in final movie).  The second two days will be at the Brown Bag studios, involved in the making of the movie, with a screening on the final day.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Brown Bag will film the process, a sort of ‘making of the movie.’ Please note that by signing up for this project, you are agreeing to allow your child to be filmed for this.

Places are strictly limited to 12 and will be allocated to children within the age group specified (no exceptions).  Parents are responsible for all travel arrangements to Brown Bag Films.
