Training


The animathon experience stimulates the creative process and gives participants a means of expressing themselves that has proven to be of great pedagogical value.

Animathon International makes its expertise available to educational institutions for setting up training programmes as well as for organizing extra-curricular activities.


Community college (Cégep or pre-university)
The animathon game lends itself well to courses in Videographic Creation and Scriptwriting at the college level. These courses favour acquisition of skills in scriptwriting and animation and meet the requirements of the audiovisual industry.

These intensive courses require about 45 to 55 hours of participation in classes given on consecutive days. They are scheduled during school holidays, at either the beginning or the end of a session, during the reading week or during a week's break.

Course curriculum may be adapted to your needs.

At the University Level
The animathon game lends itself well to Communication or Cinema courses at the university level. These courses favour acquisition of skills in scriptwriting and animation and meet the requirements of the audiovisual industry.

These intensive courses require about 45 to 55 hours of participation in classes given on consecutive days. They are scheduled during school holidays, at either the beginning or the end of a session, during the reading week or during a week's break.

These course outlines can be adapted to various programmes.

















 


Ludoptik©
Ludoptik is a workshop or game for making optical toys such as thaumatropes, phenakistoscopes, zoetropes, or flipbooks with or without frame-by-frame filming. It will take only a few hours to show students the frame-by-frame principle and initiate them into the world of cinema and animation. Simple exercises help students grasp the phenomenon of retinal persistence and enable them to create animated images quickly, without the use of a camera. The toys created can then be filmed frame by frame and turned into an animated video.

Schools, day-care centres, libraries, cultural centres, summer camps, festivals can feature this activity during pedagogical days or special events.

Animathon in Primary and Secondary Schools
In an intensive 24-to-32-hour workshop given on consecutive days or on 4 days spread over the year, the student can produce a 30-second film.

Intercollegiate Animathon©
Animathon has been running the intercollegiate animathon (a cartoon contest for community colleges (Cégep)) since 1985. The contest winds up with the awarding of the FANI (Films d'Animation Instantanés) trophy to the winning team by an international jury.
