Stop Motion Animation Workshop with Juan Pablo Zaramella
Explore how embracing limitations can open up creative possibilities in storytelling and stop motion.
Stop motion animation director Juan Pablo Zaramella invites participants into his creative process, sharing both narrative and technical approaches to bring stories to life. Centered on the theme ‘Borderless,’ the workshop explores how limitations—whether material, technical, or narrative—can become triggers to new ways of thinking and making. Participants will experiment with stop motion techniques, where independent hands-on approaches, inventive solutions and diverse methods are encouraged.
