Animating a 2D character (in Inuttitut)

Join us on Thursday November 4th, at 6:00pm EST for an introduction to making an animated character design by Ivujivik artist Thomassie Mangiok. From drawing to the export of the character, Thomassie will guide us through the drawing process and give us an introductory look at using an animation program, showing the most important steps required for an animated scene. This workshop will feature a screening of an instructional video in Inuttitut (no subtitles). The screening will be followed up by a short Q&A session with Thomassie, where he will answer questions in both English and Inuttitut.

This workshop is open to all.
The workshop will take place online using Zoom. Upon registering for the workshop, you will receive instructions on how to use Zoom. This workshop, like every ISO series workshop, is free.
