Sip'n'snap: Stop Motion Animation Using Mobile Devices for eLearning with Kevin Thorn, CNH

Searching for new ways to create engaging media elements in training projects is an ongoing challenge for most designers. Animation beyond the standard effects require deeper thought in design and often involves additional skills in a variety of tools. And the barriers to learning new animation software results in not pursuing a more engaging approach. With smartphone cameras, available apps and software, we can dramatically reduce those barriers and get started with designing creative stop-motion animation videos to tell stories, explain processes, and more.

Lucky for us, Kevin Thorn has a talent stack filled with creativity and he's willing to share those skills with all of us. Join us for an amazing conversation and instructional session on how anyone can use their mobile device for creating stop motion animation elements for eLearning projects. You may already know Kevin from our Drink'n'draw sessions, and so you don't want to miss this Sip'n'Snap session that is sure to level up your eLearning development skillset.
