Digital thursday
Once we had some still frames it was time to run'em all together. Kalle Sandzen, once again proving he is the hardest working man in the digital business, took us through adobe after effects.
Karin Ahlin showed some of her fine paper animations and helped us when we were lost....
In camera
Our third night was spent photographing our custom made glass objects. Each group made a small studio with backgrounds made from whatever was to hand and lightboxes hijacked from the graphics department.
Getting busy
The workshop got under way the following sunday.
Controlled Chaos insued with 8 people making glass simutanously.There was a good feeling in the workshop with beginers and more experienced glass types getting stuck in.
Many thanks to Timo for the fine still pictures

Silica Sequenced
This is the part where we shove all the frames in the schools' fancy macs and edit our films together.
The Ufo club
Anthony describes his film as an attempt to recreate the atmosphere of the legendary night club. Here bands such as the pink floyd were accompanied by cutting edge light projections.

stop frame animation
Here things get photographic.
The idea is to set up primitive (hee) film stations where we can shoot stills of the glass objects.
Helping out here is Alpha female Karin Ahlin from the graphic department. Animation gets her swinging.
Check out her stuff here
monkey can blow
Participants spend two or three evenings blowing glass to be used in the films. The blowing is overseen by Konsfack's resident glassblower Reino Bjork and his team of tame primates.
Lecture by Anthony stern FRIDAY 20TH FEB 1PM
Filmaker turned glass blower Anthony Stern will get the workshop started with his film Sanfrancisco.
Shot in 1968 using stop fame and time exposure techniques the film is a visual overload of images. Cut to a rare version of interstellar overdrive by the pinkfloyd, the film is an attempt to create a psychedelic documentary. Combining documentary footage in a kaleidoscopic style the film aims to create a state of free association in the viewer.
Ant will also talk about his recent works in glass.
