Dock to host workshop for young animators

The Dock in Carrick-on-Shannon is hosting a workshop for young animators.
The Dock in Carrick-on-Shannon is hosting a workshop for young animators this August.
For young animators aged 12 — 16, Animated Sounds is a two-week sound-led animation workshop, taking place from August 12th — 22nd from 11 a.m. — 2 p.m. daily. Participants will use sound, rhythm and texture as the basis for a collaborative short music video. No prior experience is required, and all art materials will be supplied.
The workshops will be led by professional animators Fergal Brennan and Olivia Normille, alongside composer Eimear Reidy. The results of the workshops will be screened as part of a mini film festival in The Dock later this year.
Participants will not only have made a short music video together, but they will also have the skills and inspiration to continue animating at home using DIY materials and everyday technology.
The course fee for all nine workshops is €45. More information and registrations of interest for Animated Sounds can be found at www.thedock.ie under ‘Communities’
