Workshops:
Throughout the year, Tink Tank Animate hosts very unique Workshops in which you create a full work, from story to edit, and is included in a Professionally Produced Animated series. Each workshop has a specific theme and specific technique of animation or filmmaking in order for each piece to fit into a Series show puzzle.
Mama’s Ducks: Short form Childrens content – Draw and animate your own children’s story about ducklings!
DATES Weekends Starting March 8th through April 27th Send your Reservation Request to Info@TinkTankAnimate.com
Chilly Chicks: Short form Childrens content – Using pre-fabricated Penguin characters, create your own story and make a digital cutout 2D animated story!
Wise Old Owls: Long-Short form Any Rating content – This is filmmaking. Plain and simple, you will write a short story idea, script it, and use whatever tools you can get your hands on, to create it. No idea is too small, no idea is too big for a Wise Old Owl, and that is what you have Mentoring your workshops. Our Mentors will look at your story, storyboard, and direct you in how to visualize your shots based on the confines of the tools available, and budgets not to have. But we are giving you a lot of tools and professionals to use those tools with you and for you to create your expression. This course involves using AI to complete large tasks, create large impossibly budgeted ideas, and to support the artist when they struggle with ideas, dialogue, detail, or artistic ability. Here your mind means more than skill, as if we don’t think that about every program…but think of that thought on steroids for Wise Old Owls that want to help ya make a super movie.
