Stop Motion Animation Course

ANIMATIKZ sessions are currently paused. If you’re interested in future dates or private/group bookings, please message me for details!Slow down. Get curious. Bring something to life.In a world that moves too fast, stop motion animation asks you to do the opposite: slow right down, pay close attention, and watch something come to life one frame at a time. This 4-week hands-on course, led by London-based Stop Motion Animator Vee Ladwa, is as much a creative reset as it is a technical skill-build.Whether you're a total beginner or already have some experience, these sessions offer something rare — dedicated time and space to focus on one thing, with your hands, away from screens scrolling and to-do lists. Many people come to ANIMATIKZ looking for a new hobby; what they find is a genuinely healing practice. There's something deeply satisfying about the patience it demands, and the small, tangible progress you make frame by frame.Over four sessions, you'll:Learn the fundamentals of animation — the core principles that make stop motion work, and why it feels like magicStoryboard & plan — turn a loose idea into a structured animation project, developing patience and intentionality along the wayCreate your own animation — get hands-on with materials, characters, and objects, animating them frame by frameEdit & finish — refine your work, add sound, and prepare your piece to share with prideThis studio time is great to experiment, practice, or just be in the process — no pressure, no rush.Hopefully, by the end, you'll walk away with your own short stop-motion, new technical skills, and — for many people — a rediscovered sense of focus, patience, and playfulness that's easy to lose in everyday life. Whether you continue for personal projects, business marketing, or purely for the joy of it, this course is a chance to try something new and reconnect with the quiet satisfaction of making something with your hands.Looking for a day or time not listed?
