elve into the fascinating worlds of stop-motion and time-lapse photography
with Winnipeg-based natural history filmmaker Joel Penner (National
Geographic, One Strange Rock) in this scanner photography workshop
series. Workshops will be accessible to all skill levels. Participants will creatively
direct and capture the growth of slime moulds, coax voracious earthworms into
creating art and film the process of fermentation. Participants will also create stop-
motion animations with coloured sand and create a short narrated stop-motion film
with produce, flowers and more.
This session will be the final of 4 sessions with Joel Penner. It is open to all.
Please join us to see the process and to view the work that was created in
this 2 week workshop.
“For much of my life I’ve had a love for plants and photography. A few years ago I
had been playing around with time-lapse photography and scanner photography,
and thought to combine the two. This technique has given me untold amounts of
joy as I’ve meticulously studied the strange motions that thousands of plants have
performed as they dry up.”
