SFX Make-up and Puppet Animation Group

We invite you to sign up for the SFX Make-up and Puppet Animation Group, which is the result of cooperation between Dorota and Jakub Michnikowski with Redo SFX (Wanda and Marcin Kędzierzawski).

The same techniques are used to create special effects and elements necessary for puppet animation. Something that only lasts a few minutes or seconds on screen is often prepared for months. As part of the practical classes, participants in a small, six-person group will be able to undertake a number of artistic activities and learn what the final work on a special effect looks like (e.g. hair weaving, painting). During the workshops, miniatures (elements of dolls and scenery) will also be created for the purposes of animation.

The classes will allow you to trace the process of creating special effects for film, from the script to the final effect in the form of shots. You will be able to see live advanced effects and elements of prosthetics created by the Redo SFX studio for movies and tv series.
