On Saturday 18 September CFF screened a specially-curated programme of short artists’ films about trains – TRAINS ON THE BRAIN! – for a family audience. Afterwards, their host Reza Ben Gajra led an hour-long animation workshop in which they learnt how to make a stop-motion animated film, using computer software to shoot card cut-outs one frame at a time – with the under 12s responsible for drawing the tracks, making the trains, and moving them little by little to create the movement. The fruit of the labour was The Big Train Crash!, to which Reza has now added titles, music and a lick of special effects for the climax. Watch the results here below!
