Produced for Village Arts an animation workshop for pupils of Rosecroft Secondary School in Loftus put on by Dave Brunskill of Animha Productions. The film shows pupils working in groups to produce three short animations in both Claymation and pen and ink. All three animations feature which all have an environmental message about saving the plant. Title: Animation Workshops A brief clips from a pen and ink animation changes to a classroom at Rosecroft School in Loftus where two boys and two girls sit at a table play with a Zoetrope followed by a montage features the pupils working in their animations. The class sit quietly watching a video on how to do animation after which they sit at tables working on ideas for their animation initially drawing sketches. Some of the pupils work to build Claymation figures using plasticine over wire frames, one group makes use of a football to create an animation of planet Earth. As some of the figures take shape, other work on the floor creating colourful backdrops including a girl creating a star field. Using a video camera the groups shoot their films with those doing pen and ink working on the lightboxes before animating them with the camera. Title: Visions of the Future The first of three animations done in Claymation about a tribe from a rainforest wanting to find a way to restore the beauty of the earth which is becoming sicker and sicker because of pollution. Initially they hold a meeting with representatives of the United State of America, Great Britan and German in the forms of Elvis Presley, Melanie B from the Spice Girls and Adolf Hitler. However, a solution comes in the form of an alien who appears to repair the world.
