See some of our other fantastic school holidays activities and events. 

It’s said that those who disturb the tomb of a Pharaoh or their treasures will be cursed. Yikes! Was the Curse of the Mummy real?

We dare you to unravel the secrets of the curse in your own stop motion version of the story.

First, get your inspiration as you journey through the Discovering Ancient Egypt exhibition for inspiration for your own Curse of the Mummy story. Then, it’s back to the Woodside Learning Studios to do some storyboarding before selecting and manipulating your characters and scenes. Once you've perfected everything, the fun begins as you film and create your masterpiece. Finally, we'll delve into audio to add sound, bringing your creation to life.

At the end of the day, we’ll kick back, turn off the lights and admire the creative work produced on the big screen.

During this workshop participants will:

• Visit the Discovering Ancient Egypt exhibition for creative inspiration.
• Develop a simple storyboard to map out the key events in your story/animation.
• Select and manipulate characters and scenes.
• Use Hue software to produce your animation.
• Share your finished product with the group before taking it home.

*Please note that all technical equipment required will be provided, however, please bring along a 4GB USB for download.
