Multidisciplinary artist and Inuit Futures’ 2020-21 Artist-in-Residence, Glenn Gear, will give a one-hour long workshop on stop-motion animation and object-based collage.

This workshop builds upon the stop-motion techniques developed in last year’s paper puppet workshop and explores collage and object-based animation in creating unique scenes. Glenn will give a short presentation outlining the history of different stop-motion animation styles followed by a live demo under camera using archival photographs, collage, and natural objects. Stay until the end for a Q&A session.

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.

About Glenn Gear:

Glenn Gear is a filmmaker and multi-disciplinary artist currently based in Montreal, Quebec, originally from Newfoundland. Much of his work explores alternative forms of storytelling through research-based creation and personal/tactile knowledge rooted in his Inuit heritage connected to Nunatsiavut. Primarily focused on animation and moving images, he also uses archives, photographs, drawings, traditional crafts, and objects in his practice. He is passionate about low-budget and experimental animation techniques and shares these through mentoring opportunities that have become an integral part of his practice. His work delves into the relationships between people, animals, and land, rethinking the spaces in which history, hope and Inuit knowledge may thrive.
