In the workshop space two boys aged 12 and 14 are busy working with small coloured disks of transparent material. They are making a stop motion film, and with the equipment available to them it is dead simple. The boys place the disks on a light box, press the computer’s space bar and the camera above the light box immediately takes a photograph. They then slightly shift the disks and take the next photograph, each time checking how their film progresses: soon the disks are dancing across the screen. After ten minutes they have already compiled a few seconds’ worth of film. They will receive the finished result by email in a few days, with a bit of music added as a surprise.
