In this session of the De-ICE-olation workshops, Glenn Gear teaches step by step instructions on how to create your own simple stop motion animation using his paper bear puppet printable template. From cutting out each articulating body part of the paper puppet, to outlining the process of using the computer program Stop Motion Studio, this two part workshop is a one-stop shop for anyone wanting to create their own magical wonderland animations! As an artist familiar with the accessibility problems that face small town Northerners, Gear is passionate about low budget, and experimental animation practices, making this the perfect tutorial for beginners. 

Originally from Cornerbrook, NL, and currently living in Montreal, QC, Gear is a filmmaker and multimedia artist.
