• we don't have set workshops: each workshop tends to be tailored to suit the individual project, relative to the requirements, age group and experience of participants, and duration of the project. Because animation covers such a variety of techniques and subjects it is easy to cater for most situations, from a one morning session with a reception class through to a 6 month project with 16 year olds.

• we encourage the children to be as involved as possible in all aspects of the animation process; however shorter workshops and larger groups inevitably result in the more intensive stages of the production process, such as editing, being completed after the workshop.

• each workshop aims to result in a finished film which can be screened for all film-makers. We can arrange copies of the work produced on DVD for each film-maker, as well as a miniDV master. The finished piece will also be screened on the Moving Pictures website project gallery. see project gallery..

• during the workshops children often produce wonderful drawings, models and backgrounds; obviously these can be used to create displays detailing the production of the animated work.

• we can provide INSET or CPD packages alongside workshops with children.

• workshop leaders are CRB checked and have public liability insurance.
