All Aboard! Animation 5 Week Course

About

"Join us for All Aboard!, a 5 week creative journey for young people with autism, where you'll embark on real railway journeys and create their animated films inspired by your experiences.
Your adventure begins with a research trip using GWR trains, exploring the fantastic ""Sea Moor City"" destinations accessible from Exeter. Experience the joy of local rail travel while discovering new places and possibilities, then transform these real journeys into your own unique animated film! Once you’ve been on your adventure, it’s time to get animating! Working alongside professional filmmakers and animators you'll try out a range of animation techniques and get hands on with creative storytelling.
This course will have smaller class sizes (up to 4) and is run by highly-trained animators and filmmakers who have a wealth of experience tutoring young people of all abilities. Our tutors recognise the importance of attending to individual needs, meaning the group is suitable for those experienced in animation and those curious to make a start.

Part of Railway History

Your animated film will contribute to the GWR Railway 200 celebration, making you part of a historic milestone celebrating two centuries of railway heritage, and your finished animation will be screened as part of Two Short Nights Film Festival in March 2026!
