The Erasmus+ project "YangCC: Youth as Agents to Negate Global Climate Change via Visual Means" held its second Learning Teaching Training Activities (LTTA) event in Malmö, Sweden from May 5-9th at Föreningscenter Nobel 21 Malmö. ​ The Blended Activity Animation Technique was designed to facilitate the acquisition of a comprehensive set of competencies necessary to train and instruct others (young people) in the utilisation of animation techniques. This approach empowers young people to engage in the fight against environmental problems, such as climate change. ​ Over the course of the five-day meeting, Prof. Alexander Iliev, professor, actor and anthropologist, as well as Filip Donchev, a filmmaker, actor, and educator, introduced the attendees to an overview of Animation theory, history and hardware, film editing technology, climate change concepts, and practical demonstrations of animation and video creation. Additionally, they were introduced to fundamental concepts pertaining to climate change and the ways in which human actions contribute to it that helped them to create various animations and videos. The curricula of the training activity was the following: Animation as it is prof. Alexander Iliev, PHD What is animation? a motion picture that is made from a series of drawings, computer graphics, or photographs of inanimate objects (as puppets). simulated movement by slight progressive changes in each frame. the act, process, or result of imparting life, interest, spirit, motion, or activity. the quality or condition of being alive, active, spiritual, or vigorous. Early attempts at depicting motion human imagination and religious animism cave paintings 18,000 bc asian puppet theatre 4,000 bc greek vases 430 bc Early animation devices magic lantern 1630 thaumotrope 1825 phenakisticope 1833 zoetrope 1834 praxinoscope 1877 flipbooks 1868 stop motion 1902 chalk animation 1912 silhouette animation 1927 First steps in animation Georges Méliès J.

Questions to answer… What is the difference between the greenhouse effect, climate change and global warming? What proof do we have that climate change is happening? Why is it happening? How does it work? The Greenhouse Effect The Earth is surrounded by a thin layer of gases we call greenhouse gases. These gases are what make up our atmosphere. The thickness of the atmosphere and the concentration of its gases influence the surface temperature on any planet. What’s the difference? Global warming Is the increase of the Earth’s average surface temperature due to a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere? Climate change These are the long-term changes in climate, including average temperature and precipitation. We recognize that, although the average surface temperature may increase, the regional or local temperature may decrease or remain constant. What does “average” mean? Climate is the average weather conditions over time. Global warming refers to an increase in the Earth’s average temperature. What causes climate changes? Changes in the atmosphere Natural processes Volcanoes Tectonic plate movement Changes in the sun Shifts in Earth’s orbit Human activities – any activity that releases “greenhouse gases” into the atmosphere This map shows the five-year average variation of global surface temperatures from 1884 to 2022. Dark blue indicates areas cooler than average. Dark red indicates areas warmer than average. What proof do we have? Temperature & CO2 Data Glaciers are melting So are ice caps on both the North and South pole. Example: Portage Glacier, Alaska 1914 vs 2014 Global Sea Level Rise Climate Change in Europe Temperatures are rising, especially in winter. Extreme rainfall and flooding events (24-hr and 7-day) are more frequent. Extreme droughts and massive wildfires are more common In rural communities, forests and farmland are impacted, making crops and food more scarce and expensive for all. Climate change is impacting many plants and animals Why is climate change happening? Who? - Pollution from coal, natural gas, and oil What? Warming and sea level rise will continue and will probably occur more quickly than what we've already seen Even if greenhouse gases are stabilised, this will probably continue to occur for centuries Some effects may be permanent How? Effects on Ecosystems: Coral systems and other unique ecosystems cannot handle higher temperatures well Wildfires will increase Up to 30% of species will be at increased risk for extinction due to the rapid changes in their ecosystems Where? Effects in Europe: Warming in mountains: snow and ice melting Increased rain, storms and floods Heat waves will increase in number, length, and intensity Lack of drinking water Here? climate related events over the last 40 years have caused more than € 487 billion in financial losses in the EU between 1980 and 2020, over 138 000 people in the EU lost their lives due to extreme weather and climate related events the economic cost of river flooding in Europe exceeds € 5 billion a year on average forest fires cause about € 2 billion of economic damage every year We are killing our Mother Nature ie . we are slowly and surely killing ourselves Making a film Script (scenario) - Storyboard Positionson in the film crew: Creative and Support (Technical) Filming period Post production The scenario as a story of a battle: Narration of an extraordinary event with 3 conditions fulfilled: unity of place (in a precisely defined space) unity of time (within life events for only 10 minutes) unity of action (overcoming a single problem) Five-sentence plot canvas collision (beginning of the conflict, collision, struggle between A and B) twist 1 (first turn in the fight, A knocks B down) twist 2 (second twist in the fight, B knocks A down) vicissitudes 3 (third twist in the fight, A knocks B down again) catastrophe (end, collapse, fiasco of one of the two characters or both) Age and brief description of the main actors of objects - up to 3 people/objects The scenario as it happens: Written answers with 1 simple sentence each to the questions: who?

< Back 5 reasons to use animation art in your videos Cristina Morar 4 Apr 2023 Stop-motion Animation, Cut-out Animation, Flip-Book Animation, Claymation, Puppetry Animation - 5 techniques that you can use to create interactive videos to express your way of being more active in combating environmental issues, such as climate change, pollution and global warming. The world is becoming increasingly interconnected and, with this, the importance of reaching extended demographic areas has become more important than ever. In particular, the need to address environmental issues has become a major focus for many organizations and governments. Reaching out to extended demographic areas is an important part of any effort to effect change on a global scale. This requires not only an understanding of the challenges and opportunities these areas face, but also an effective strategy for engaging them in meaningful dialogue. To do this effectively, organizations must be mindful of cultural differences when attempting to engage different communities in environmental conversations. In addition, it is equally important that those leading the charge to make positive changes are aware of their own biases and prejudices when addressing environmental issues. For instance, many organizations may have limited exposure or experience working with populations from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds who may have different perspectives on environmental policies. It is essential that these groups are given equal consideration when crafting strategies for addressing environmental concerns in extended demographic areas. Stop-motion Animation, Cut-out Animation, Flip-Book Animation, Claymation, Puppetry Animation - 5 techniques that you can use to create interactive videos to express your way of being more active in combating environmental issues, such as climate change, pollution and global warming. We prepared for you 5 reasons why you should consider using animations in your video: #1 Easy way to tell your story Storytelling through videos can be an effective way to engage the public on important and complex issues such as climate change. The videos can have a big impact as they are able to show what is happening in a very vivid and clear way. #2 Videos attract If you want to increase your conversion rate, try using animation. Animation can help to grab attention and guide users through your content, making it more likely that they will convert. #3 It's simple to comprehend Video delivers high value and impact, its ability to connect with and inspire trust in audiences. There are several reasons for this: video content helps your audience to easily learn about a certain issue or cause. Visual cues help memory processing and memory recall. This is clear with learning in general: lots of people learn quicker and/or better with the association of photos and their respective words. Jemila stop polluting #4 It can reach an extended demographic areas If it weren't for social media, the content might not reach as many people from as many demographics as quickly. Nowadays, anyone can become an environmental activist without a credential or book deal; they simply need to pick up their phone and take action on an issue they care about. #5 Video is versatile Video combines the explanatory power of imagery, text and audio to share a lot of information very efficiently. 94% of video marketers say video has helped increase user understanding of their product or service. Got complex information to get across? Explainer videos are especially good at this. Video content can also be turned into different communication and marketing materials. Through the magic of editing, longer-form videos can be cut down into bitesize social media clips. Additionally, it’s relatively simple to convert into beautiful still images and eye-catching gifs.
