FAQs:

Q. What do I need to bring?

A. Just yourself, and an idea of what you might like to make: a story, a character or just an image! You don’t need any experience of film making.

Q. Can I book on just one session?

A. No. This is an 8-week course over which participants will learn all the skills to make an animated movie. You don’t need to attend every session, but the course fee is for the whole 8-week course.
