Get your DIY on this Saturday 4th June at London’s Design Museum as our friends at Jotta in collaboration with Intel present a series of interactive workshops. You’ve just missed the first one and now second up is DIY FX - film tricks of the trade and creative effects for film, turning DIY into digital.

Fancy yourself a filmmaker? This is your chance to learn how to create your own film effects, with a do-it-yourself slant using only everyday materials and a phone camera at your disposal. The workshop is inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s classic film ‘Anemic Cinema’ where a whirling animated drawings present a mind-bending filmic experience. Re-create your own at home with skills learnt at the DIY FX workshop, including the likes of kaleidoscopic colour and lighting, high-speed velocity movement and some tricks of the trade like faking bizarre perspectives. The afternoon entails learning by practice and crafting and then implementing these effects yourself.

So, if you think you’re the next Werner Herzog or David Lynch, get your skates on as the DIY FX workshop is free, but as places are limited, be sure to RSVP quick to
