Stop motion is an animation technique in which an object is moved incrementally with frames shot for each new position. When the film is played, the object appears to move on its own in either a disjointed series of movements or smooth action. This event will uncover how it is possible to create this illusion of lifelike movement, as well as considering why these films make audiences feel the way they do.

This event will include a film screening of 'Tchaikovsky' (2011) and a discussion between director Barry Purves and neuroscientist James Kilner.

Speakers

Barry Purves, award winning stop-motion animator and director.

James Kilner, Senior Lecturer, Institute of Neurology, UCL.

This event is FREE.
