Out of It... by Cornwall-based charity Trelya is an effective resource that can be used both to introduce young people to animation and to provide them with a platform to explore issues such as drug and alcohol misuse. It is a useful tool that can inspire young people and the organisations that work with them.
The resource is presented in a tin film canister, encouraging anyone who picks it up to wonder what is inside. The designers have also provided a practical cardboard sleeve that allows it to stand on a shelf as well.
Inside the canister, young people are provided with a printed leaflet with information about Trelya and Out of It..., a sheet giving step-by-step instructions for making their own animation, a DVD containing four example animations created by young people, and some additional sheets with "behind the scenes" information about the animations. There is also a good amount of Plasticine so young people can get started right away in creating their own animations.
