Northern Grid for Learning - School Broadband, eSafety, Learning Resources and More

Northern Grid knows that many schools in the region are producing outstanding animations.  Many of these were entered in the Northern Grid Awards.  If you are one of those schools, or if you missed the deadline, why not enter the national competition just launched by Filmstreet?

The Stop Frame Animator competition enables young people to use real film making techniques to create their own short animation, without the need for any expensive equipment using a free, fun, interactive online activity.

Choosing from a range of exciting sets, characters and props, children can add sound effects and capture each movement of their animation with a virtual camera.

Two lucky winners will receive Flip HD digital cameras to help them to continue their filmmaking careers.

If you’re not already animating the Filmstreet website http://www.filmstreet.co.uk has lots of video, interactive games and workshops to encourage, inform and support teachers and children to create their own films and animations both in and out of school.
