Muvizu
Over a series of 10 weekly workshops young people at the Community Studio have been making short animations using the free software Muvizu.  The young people wrote short stories and developed a series of short animated cartoons using this accessible animation software.  The films will be screened in November at a special event in the Muvizu cinema, located in the city centre and later in the year at the Community Studio.  The second series of workshops will begin in late November with a new group of young people.
