We’re going back to the roots of animation, using just watercolors, ink, pencils, and the magic of flip books.We'll look at examples from flip book artists that tell pocket-size stories you’ll be mesmerized by. We’ll also learn about how animators use layers of hand illustrations to bring stories to the screen. Then we’ll break down movements of the illustrated stories we want to tell, bringing our vibrant worlds to life in our own amazing flip books.

In just four short weeks, we’ll become master scene writers, creating our own riveting monologues or two or three person scenes. We will find inspiration for our characters from music, current events, and even the things around us! We’ll be challenged by different exercises that will help us make our characters rich and three-dimensional, including free writing and auto-fiction. If you can’t get enough of certain characters in books, film, or theatre, this is your chance to create your own character and write your own legendary scene! Plus, all our scenes will be performed by professional actors at the WordUp Bookshop!
