Animation Track
كتير من أفكار قصص الأنيميشن بتكون مميزة، لكن بتفضل مجرد افكار لأنها مبتتحولش لسيناريو واضح ومترتب
فكتابة السيناريو مش فكرة جميلة بس، لكنها عملية بتبدأ من توليد الأفكار وتطويرها لتنظيم الأحداث، وبناء الشخصيات بطريقة تخلي القصة مفهومة وجذابة.
ورشة Scriptwriting for Animation بتقدم خلال 3 أيام مدخل عملي لأساسيات كتابة السيناريو للأنيميشن، بداية من إزاي تتولد الأفكار وتتحول لفكرة قصة، مرورًا ببناء الشخصيات وتنظيم الأحداث بشكل يخدم القصة.
ومن خلال تطبيقات وتمارين أثناء الورشة، بيتم تحويل الأفكار لسيناريو مكتوب بشكل واضح وقابل للتنفيذ. وفي نهاية الورشة، بيخرج فنانينا بمشروع سيناريو قصير وفهم أوضح
