Recommended for children aged 8+
Have you ever wondered how animations are made? During this interactive workshop, Animator Saber Aidarus, creator of @SaberOH!, known from TikTok, will take you behind the scenes and show you how he creates his animations together with you, step by step.
Using a digital tablet and animation software, he’ll show you how a simple idea turns into a story, how a storyboard guides the action, and how characters are sketched, lined, and brought to life with movement and lip sync. Along the way, you’ll also watch and break down existing animations to discover how characters move, act, and tell their stories in a fun and easy-to-follow way.
Saber Aidarus is a Somali creative from the Netherlands with experience in advertising on social media. He has worked for clients such as AFCON, Meta, JBL, and Albert Heijn. Additionally, he is a director, speaker, comedian, voice actor, and animator! Saber is currently working on a cartoon called “SaberOH!”.
