Adventures in Animation

Come explore various techniques of stop-motion animation in our week long animation-workshop! Campers create abstract and narrative tales with a wide range of materials including: legos, clay, architectural modeling materials, wire, foam, and so much more!  Campers build mini-movie sets and learn how to light them, build camera rigs, use gels and create various on-set effects. We encourage children to experiment with different camera angles, add special effects, sounds and music. Children build their own props and use green screens to bring their ideas to life. Combine live action with stop-motion animation to makes something truly unique and special.  Kids will complete several projects over the course of the week.  This is fantastic class for kids with big imaginations!
