The BBC will join forces with the BFX team at the Bournemouth Air Festival to put on a host of animation workshops ahead of the BFX Festival.

A specialised tent consisting of the BFX team and the BBC’s Make it Digital Tour will be at the Bournemouth Air Festival from 22 to 23 August 2015.

The BFX team, made up of staff from Õý°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ, will run animation workshops during the day with an Air Show theme and also give a presentation at the end of the day screening the day’s work. This will be part of The Digital Discovery Zone, which will host a range of activities for all ages.

The Digital Discovery Zone will be the home of the workshops over the Air Festival weekend and will include talks from Microsoft. People will have the opportunity to create their own animations through Lego, plasticine or cut-outs that can be edited together to make short ‘stop animation’ sequences and will be screened at the end of both days.
