Using stop-motion and a mini studio, they compete to tell the best story around a given subject. - **Experience Format:** In Person - **Group Size:** 5 - 400 Guests - **Duration:** 1.5 - 3.5 Hours - **Key Benefits:** Change & growth, Collaboration, Creativity ## How it works We split the group into teams and set them the challenge of working on a storyline, characters, scenery, and a soundtrack for their stop-motion film. Communication, planning, and coordination are all essential in conceiving and producing a great film. The versatility of this experience allows it to be tailored to all kinds of stories or messages. These can include bringing your business objectives, product launch, or key messages to life. With larger groups, we can also provide an option of tying individual teams’ films together to create a longer piece that must work seamlessly between each team’s section. This format requires another level of collaboration which is perfect for cross-team networking. ## Learning Outcomes ### Change & growth The effectiveness of teams is always in a constant state of flux. Teams grow, they shrink, the dynamics change. To keep teams moving towards their optimal state, we have devised a set of experiences that helps manage their performance. We draw on the power of leadership, empathy, cooperation, and problem-solving to help deliver change. ### Collaboration Improving collaboration across a team is probably the number one way we can help to improve a team’s performance. If you don’t communicate, you can’t collaborate. We start with communication and get it flowing, then get everyone working together. We have found that creating long-term change in the way teams collaborate can be as simple as getting them into a creative frame of mind. Whether the team task is to work together or compete is up to you. ### Creativity Flexing your creative muscles is an ingeniously fun way of improving your problem-solving skills. These skills can make a big difference to how teams approach their day to day, back in the workplace. Our creative experiences allow participants to explore within themselves and collaboratively as teams. Ultimately, these experiences are massively rewarding. **Call us on** [03300 040903](tel:03300040903) **Send us an email** [info@teamchallenge-company.co.uk](mailto:info@teamchallenge-company.co.uk) **Follow us on social** ## Related Experiences Take a scroll through our latest and most popular experiences to inspire your next team building session. - [Santa's Toy Factory](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/santas-toy-factory.md): Teams are challenged to combine a selection of wooden parts and components to produce a range of high-quality children’s toys to help Santa get ready for Christmas. - [City Build](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/city-build.md): Teams must collaborate to design and build a (strategically planned) giant city with interconnecting zones from the provided materials. - [Race Around the World - Festive Edition](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/race-around-the-world-festive-edition.md): Enjoy a globe-trotting experience with a festive twist to engage and motivate remote-working teams.
