Edmund Rice Animates 14th Century Greenland

And here is the second short animation from the workshops with Edmund Rice College.  This group chose Sigrid and Thornbjorn's story from 14th century Greenland for their scenes.

First Animation Clip from the Education Pilot

Andrea, Erika, Chen and Terra Nova Productions Board Member Chris Murphy have been undertaking pilot workshops to teach narrative and animation skills to different groups across Belfast.  Here is the first animated scene made by students at Edmund Rice College.  Students based their scene on our research into Tikopia, and the legends about people there who killed their pigs in order to save the natural environment.

All the sets, props, story boarding were created by the students over two 90 minute workshops.  Terra Nova Productions and our partners how to make these workshops more widely available in 2011 & 2012.
