Workshop F.A.Q.

If you're new to our animation Workshops, there may be some questions you have about how it all works. Below you'll find some quick answers to the major queries we recieve. If you'd like to probe Auntie further, or discuss a workshop at your organisation please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

How long do the workshops take?

The best results are achieved after 3 days but the group get the idea quickly and we can gather enough material and give them a good overview of stop-motion animation in an afternoon.

How much does it cost?

Our fees are flexible and depend on working hours etc. - but are in the region of £400 per day.

Will you travel across the UK?

Yes! As long as our costs are covered.

Do you run adults workshops?

Yes! The workshops work brilliantly for groups of adults, the content can become really sophisticated and we can organise a wrap party and large format projections.

Do we need to provide any equipment?

No, Butch Auntie will bring everything needed.

Who are the workshops for?

Anybody! There are so many styles of stop-motion, the possibilites are endless. It is an appraochable, fun and creative workshop that encourages collaboration and team work. It is easy to pick up and you can see the complete animations really quickly.

What type of disabilites can be catered for?

We have worked with kids with a broad range of disabilites. We can find solutions for problems that we come across along the way and tailor each animation to suit the participants. Please give us a call to discuss the possibilities and we will make as many suggestions as we can, we really enjoy finding new ways to get people involved.

Are people involved in the workshops CRB checked?

Yes. We can provide past CRB data, and aid fresh submissions if needed.

What other services do you offer?

Butch Auntie also have equipment for VJ-ing so we can project and mix the animations live along to music, drumming or as a back drop to a performance. We can collaborate with other workshops (for example, use the objects made in an art workshop in the animations).

We can project on to the side of buildings or inside - pretty much anywhere!

We can make a dvd copy of the animations made.

We can offer a free mentoring service to anybody who takes a particular interest in stop-motion animation. We will offer support by email and guidance about equipment.

We can have flick books made of the animation films (for an additional cost)
