Learn timelapse and stop motion skills with an award-winning filmmaker!
We’re excited to welcome Joel Penner, co-director of the award-winning film Wrought, back to the Radical Mycology Convergence this year for a special, hands-on workshop covering a range of time lapse and stop motion photography techniques.
In this limited-capacity, 3-hour immersive course, participants will get to experience some of the ingredients that went into making Wrought. One part of the workshop will involve people collectively working on a stop motion narrative film together with natural subjects found around Brown Bottle Farm. Another part of the workshop will involve participants getting up close and personal with some timelapses that will be running during the convergence. This will provide insight into how timelapse photography can help us understand time in a more fluid manner and get people excited about the artistic possibilities that are always around us.
Joel will also be hosting a screening of Wrought, with audience Q&A, Friday night before our big art show opening!
