Imagine Mallacoota

May 28-29, 2022

Imagine Mallacoota was an event presented by Wilderness Workspace on the last weekend of May in 2022. Jelena was invited by Wilderness Workspace to teach both children's and adult's stop motion animation and editing workshops and to host the film festival screening.

Jelena worked closely with Mary O'Malley and Nicolette Axiak to prepare poster art for the event marketing, pre-production and travelled to Mallacoota to host the community event with them. The stop motion workshops utilised rigs that were designed with objects found mainly around the house. The stop motion animations themselves were created using found objects collected both in the bushlands and on the shores of Mallacoota.

Jelena taught Stop Motion Studio and Adobe Rush software as well as storytelling and animation skills. The event was a huge success for community engagement and the nurturing of arts and culture events in the south coast in Victoria.
