The workshops will be divided into two blocks:
Theoretical and practical.
On the first day, workshop participants will learn who the set designer is, what skills they should have, what their responsibilities are, and who they work with directly on set. Participants will also receive materials that we will work with as part of the set design (access to props in the studio and the opportunity to make small purchases).
The second day will be devoted to the practical part of the workshop. Participants will work on set design in a professional film studio. They will be divided into groups, each of which will create the set design for the planned scenes (working time: 2 hours). Thanks to cooperation with gaffers, the set design will be complemented with appropriate lighting, and simultaneous work with previews will allow for analysis of the resulting frames.
Workshop participants should bring sketchbooks and design tools with them.

Animated Film Studio, Kraków, ul. Karmelicka 16 / Room 11
Faculty of Graphic Arts, Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków
The Animated Film Studio is one of the leading educational studios in the field of animation in Poland. Its program is progressive, focusing on the originality and artistic potential of students. We primarily create author-driven projects, but we also teach the importance of teamwork.
The curriculum covers all aspects of film production — from scriptwriting, storyboarding, shooting, and editing to sound design and music. We provide training in all animation techniques: traditional, digital, 2D, 3D, as well as spatial and stop-motion animation.
Classes are accompanied by lectures and specialized workshops in film theory and history, sound, music, editing, and film production. The specialized path allows students to create a graduation film, which serves as their artistic debut.
We collaborate with composers, sound designers, editors, and cinematographers, and students have access to a professional sound studio and a motion capture studio.
