PAC 8 News:

PAC 8 will be offering classes in stop motion animation for students aged 9-12 years 2-4 p.m. Wednesday Feb. 26 through March 18.

Stop motion is an animated filmmaking technique in which objects are moved in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit motion when the series of frames is played back.

Los Alamos High School senior Allegra Dougherty will be teaching the class. Allegra first discovered animation at PAC 8 while taking classes there when she was younger.

Students will learn Dragonframe software, a program used in the making of “Coraline” and “Shaun the Sheep”. Classes are at PAC 8 (475 20th St.), which is in the lower level of the community building.

Class size is limited to students. The cost is $80. Contact PAC 8 at 505. 662.7228 or pac8@losalamos.com.
