Oddfellows will give a short presentation about the studio and the principles of animation and design, followed by a hands-on collaborative animation project! Our staff will work alongside attendees while you hand-draw sequential frames and offer pointers on cel animation. A final video, remixing everyone’s final artwork into a seamless animation, will then be created to conclude the evening. Enjoy your very own world premiere on the big screen whilst sipping some libations. Attendees will walk away with a link to the final collaborative animation, as well as insight into the inner workings of our creative studio.
