Welcome to animation-workshop.co.uk. I am Mike Futcher and I run workshops in

• Stop-motion cutout
• Stop-motion plasticine (claymation)
• Digital 3D
• Digital 2D with Flash
• Zoetrope - creating a 12-frame loop in a device that requires no electricity
• Other, more experimental, video techniques

Participants of all ages and abilities have created the clips that are viewable in the “portfolio” section of this site.

• I have my own portable system.
• I have an up-to-date CRB check.
• I mostly work in the East Midlands and South Yorkshire, but am willing to travel.
• I have run workshops for events and with groups.
• The animations created at a workshop can easily be put onto CD-Rom or DVD.
• Putting the animations onto VHS or onto a website or making them into screen-savers is a little harder, but possible.
• I would be interested in running workshops that combine animation with other media, such as film, puppetry, or video-jockeying (live video mixing).
