Bring your stories to life—one frame at a time!
Have you ever wondered how your favorite animated movies are made? During this fun and creative week, young artists will become filmmakers as they learn the art of stop motion animation. Using everyday objects, clay, paper, natural materials, and their own drawings, students will create characters, build miniature sets, and produce their own original animated short film.
Throughout the week we'll explore the fundamentals of animation, storytelling, character design, lighting, camera angles, and sound. Students will discover how hundreds of photographs come together to create the illusion of movement while developing patience, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
By the end of the week, every student will leave with their own completed stop motion movie to share with family and friends.
