Animation Workshop in Manipur

Bringing the art and culture of Manipur to life through animation.

Join us and become part of the team to produce a short animated folktale from Manipur.

The Government of Manipur (Art and Culture Department) is collaborating with the Adivasi Arts Trust (UK) for a three week long Animation Workshop, also supported by the Films Division (Manipur) and the Bryan Guinness Charitable Trust. The workshop will provide an introduction to storytelling through the animation medium to include scriptwriting, storyboarding, character and background design and various animation techniques. There will also be a daily screening of animation films by international masters of the profession.

Visiting British animator and Secretary of the Adivasi Arts Trust, Ms. Tara Douglas will guide the team through pre-production for a short animation film from Manipur. The team will also be joined by animators from the National Institute of Design (Ahmadabad, Gujarat) who will share their experiences of the animation medium, and the short animation film from Manipur will be a part of the “Tales of the Tribes” collection of animated folktales from the Northeast.

The workshop will be held from 25 February – 17 March 2012, at the Films Division Complex, Imphal. Interested participants are required to show commitment for the entire duration of the workshop. They will have basic computer skills, artistic ability and interest. Participants are also requested to bring along their favourite folktale from Manipur to share with the team, and the best story will be chosen for the animation film.
Complimentary lunch, tea and snacks will be provided daily during the workshop.
Participants will be admitted on first come basis.
