Make your own Animation

Have you ever wanted to learn about Animation and maybe make your own small Animation film? This a great way to arrange a corporate event and to figure out what strengths and weaknesses each member of your team has.

A good idea is to get 10 delegates together and appoint their own personal animation leader who is always on hand to guide them through the concept and storyboarding stage, solve problems and answer animation queries!

Every delegate receives a pre-made plasticine model, ready for them to customise and create their own characters. The mini-me models are a great way to ensure everyone can make their own fantastic looking character and makes for great party entertainment, regardless of whether they’re a naturally arty type! Delegates also receive additional model making materials to really bring their characters to life. The group’s animation leader is always on hand to offer advice and ideas.

Your animation leader introduces them to the stop motion software and is there to make sure the process runs smoothly with animation tips and tricks of the trade, all of which help the group create an animation they can be really proud of. Every delegate’s model will be involved in the film, with each delegate working together, communicating and rotating roles including director, animator, software operator, continuity, props, etc.

When the animations are complete and the groups has called it a wrap, all the groups get together for a premiere screening of their work. We then take the films back to a post production studio, where music, titles and effects are added before being sent to you within 2 weeks of the workshop. These films are great to share with colleagues, internally in large organisations or externally on the company website/social media as desired. Delegates also get to keep their plasticine characters as a memento of the day and their achievements!

Live TV experience

The television screen is everywhere in our lives. It is the most important aid to modern business. We use the screen for home entertainment, computer use, i-pad and even on our mobile phones, but most of us who watch television, have very little idea as to how our favourite television programmes, adverts or other important communications are actually produced. Well, this is your chance to step inside where the magic happens and experience it for yourself!

This fun filled day out the office is a true insight to how television programmes are made, and a great environment to spend a day with colleagues in order to achieve a common goal. It’s 100% down to you and your team! Your challenge is to produce and record two television programme sequences successfully:

Ideas for entertainment

Filming:

Based on a similar format to the popular quiz ‘Have I Got News for You’, where the presenter opens an envelope of questions live on air, and two teams battle it out, in a head-to-head competition, to correctly answer the questions for points…sound easy? That’s only a tiny piece of the jigsaw! While all of that is going on in front of the cameras, the rest of the group will take on crucial roles behind the scenes, which include the Director, Technical Crew, Sound Mixers, Camera Operators, Floor Manager and Visual Mixers, and during the day everyone will rotate and have a bash at each position.

Will you be running around the studio like headless chickens with the responsibility and shame of an axed show on your hands, or work together to create the next big thing and challenge Jonathan Ross for his Friday Night slot?

Shopping Channel Slot

“On air in 5, 4, 3, …, …” this task will not only challenge your team to operate the technical equipment in the studio, but will also test your team’s ability to successfully sell a selection of products ranging from wigs to jewellery, live on air, through the medium of TV.
