Short stop-motion clay film

A collective project to imagine characters, build scenes, film frame by frame and create a short animated film.

Images de l’activité — Short stop-motion clay film
The production of a clay animation short film was a collective artistic and human experience that brought together more than twenty refugees from twenty different countries.
Each participant arrived with their own culture, story, perspective and personal experience.
The group came together around a shared objective: to produce a genuine short film using stop-motion animation and characters made from modelling clay.
The project was completed during a full week of intensive work.
Participants were involved in every stage of production, from the initial idea to the final completion of the film.
They were not given a ready-made story, characters or set.
They built the project together.
The group began by developing the main idea, reflecting on the film’s message, writing the story, imagining the characters and organising the different events and scenes.
After this phase, the participants worked on designing the sets, backgrounds and characters.
Some created the heads and bodies from modelling clay.
Others worked on the clothing, colours, accessories and small elements needed for the different scenes.
Each person was able to participate according to their skills, interests and abilities.
The group then discovered the stop-motion technique.
This method consists of moving a character by a few millimetres, taking a photograph and then repeating the process a very large number of times.
When all the images are assembled, the characters appear to move.
This stage required considerable patience, precision, concentration and coordination.
Participants had to check the continuity of the movements, the positions of the characters, the sets and the objects appearing in every image.
The group also participated in filming, animating the characters, checking the shots, recording voices, selecting sound effects, editing and completing the final production.
Participants therefore experienced all the real stages involved in making a film: the idea, writing, set design, character creation, animation, photography, sound, editing and final completion.
The project did not aim solely to produce a short film.
It also aimed to create a space for collaboration between people from different cultures and countries.
The collective work encouraged communication, listening, the sharing of experiences, mutual support and group problem-solving.
By the end of the week, the participants had created a genuine short film together, made with their own hands.
The film represents the result of an artistic, technical, intercultural and deeply human experience.
