Round the Twist, Storyboards and VFX- Virtual Workshop: (Stage 3, Stage 4)
Students discover the importance of storyboards to plan visual effects from professionals who worked on THE AUSTRALIAN classic series Round The Twist!
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
Storyboards use visuals to effectively communicate ideas during the filmmaking process, producing a blueprint for cast and crew ahead of shooting scenes.
VFX (visual effects) and SFX (special effect) take a lot of planning and creative problem solving. The storyboards for Round the Twist were integral in the production of all the wacky and fun moments in the beloved series. From creepy dolls, to glowing cabbage patch babies, skateboarding brains, dragons and ghosts (just to name a few!)
Join ACTF and ACMI in this virtual workshop to explore the award-winning television series Round the Twist where students will learn the importance of storyboarding when creating VFX and SFX. During the session, students will have the opportunity to explore original hand-drawn storyboards and hear from Dennis Nicholson, VFX Supervisor for Round the Twist Series 3 & 4. ACTF and ACMI educators will then share tips and tricks on how to create similar VFX in your classroom.
