Working with Quarto Publishing I developed Animation Studio, a hands-on interactive kit designed to introduce emerging animators to the principles and practices of animation production.
Structured as a miniature stage-set environment, the kit provides an introduction to the animation pipeline, from storyboarding through to post-production editing.
Included is a double-sided fold-out stage set, press-out props, and a series of constructible tools that facilitate experimentation.
The kit also includes a 32-page director’s handbook, offering practical guidance alongside inspiration for developing your own stories and creative ideas.

This all-encompassing kits gives adults and children everything they need to make their own stop motion classics, including a fold-out stage set and a full guide to using 2D and 3D effects. To get shooting simply add a pencil and paper (or a lump of modelling clay) a mobile phone of digital camera, and a generous dollop of imagination. - Foyles Christmas Catalogue 2013
