Stop-Motion Superheroes

Stop-motion Superheroes Workshop
Summer 2010, Bethel Youth Center, Bethel, Alaska
Organized and Facilitated by Cynthia Brinich-Langlois & Joseph Mougel

Character Development
alter ego, powers, costume

Backstory Development
setting, origin, conflict, resolution

Each child developed a superhero character and described his or her unique powers through both drawn imagery and spoken content. The children drew their superhero costumes over photographs of them standing in their superhero poses, and then collaborated in the animation decisions and audio recording to create a superhero persona.
