PAWTUCKET – Gif-O-Graf and the 14th annual Providence Children’s Film Festival present a program on making your first animated film at the Pawtucket Public Library, 13 Summer St., this Sunday, Feb. 19, from 1 to 3 p.m.
Bring imagination, curiosity (and maybe a sense of humor), say the organizers, and they’ll provide the rest. Participants will try cut-paper animation on Gif-O-Graf machines.
The Gif-O-Graf combines pro-grade animation equipment with easy-to-use functions, so anyone can create quality original movies and GIFs, states a news release. During this workshop, children will learn how to use the machine, create original characters, and bring them to life in an animation of their own.
With permission, creations may be screened in an actual film festival, where the creators can invite their family and friends to watch. The festival will be part of the Youth Filmmaker Show on Sunday, Feb. 26 at 3 p.m. in the Metcalf Auditorium of the RISD Museum of Art. Autographs are encouraged, but not mandatory.
Registration for the program is preferred, but not required. The program is free with snacks provided.
The program is funded through assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant Program from the city Department of Planning and Redevelopment.
