The Flat Lab: Innovating Paper Puppets with Modern Tech (all levels, IN-PERSON) is an opportunity to learn from director, designer, and puppeteer—Myra Su. She will share all the tools in her arsenal in creating multimedia puppet shows and streamlining puppet fabrication. Participants will learn how to use programs like Photoshop and Illustrator to digitize hand-drawn shadow puppet designs that can then be put through a cutting machine. The class will also explore ways to integrate video and cameras with crankies and other paper-based puppet forms. Finally, participants will put these skills to practice in developing their own short scenes to be presented on the final day of class. This workshop is suited for people interested in 2D puppetry for either the stage or film animation.
