Play & Discover - Behind the Scenes of a Handmade Video Game

Play & Discover – Behind the Scenes of a Handmade Video Game

Performance

Young people are invited to come and try Éalú: a video game with literally hand made visuals; and then learn how it was animated. Whereas most video games use computer graphics, the world of Éalú is made entirely from photos of real sets and characters constructed with wood, stone, metal and felt.

Get a behind the scenes presentation of the game’s development process and afterwards, multiple computers will be available with the game installed for participants to try playing. Between playing the game, participants can take turns in small groups to visit a stop motion animation station where Ivan will show them how to create their own short, animated sequence using props from Éalú.
