Movie premiers for AmmA Centre
Armagh’s AmmA Centre was the venue for not just one new movie recently but the multi media facility premiered eight films.
They were the work of eight children who completed a week long workshop in the centre’s digital studio, as Vine Haugh, Southern Education and Library Board Creative and Expressive Studies Adviser, explained.
Mrs Haugh said: “The children aged between 10 and 11 used the latest industry-based technology, working with Photoshop and Flash, to create short animated movies.

“During the five days the children were able to create stories, develop their own art work and use digital media to animate characters and backgrounds. This was undertaken with the help of tutors Lizzie Agnew and Veronica Tate, who work in the animation and web-based industry.
“The films were developed from the children’s own drawings. They also had an opportunity to design their own CD cover. The workshop concluded with the presentation of the complete film packages by the children to their parents on the Friday afternoon when the AmmA Centre hosted the movie premiers.
“We are delighted that the centre has been able to facilitate these activities and anyone who would like to find out more about what’s going on in AmmA can check out the amma centre website.”
The workshop was held from Monday, July 26, to Friday, July 30. Two earlier film and music workshops were held in the AmmA Centre from Monday, July 5, to Friday, July 9 for young people aged 14 and over.
Officially opened in June, the AmmA (Armagh multi media Access) Centre is located in Armagh’s Market House – a Southern Education and Library Board (SELB) facility.
