Sound to Screen // Make an Animated Music Video (ages 11 – 14)
Camp overview
Camp begins with examples of animated music videos to inspire ideas and help the group develop a unified creative direction with teaching artist Andrés Eduardo. Youth will learn essential animation skills including timing and movement, syncing visuals to music, storyboarding, and frame-by-frame animation. In addition to building technical skills, campers will practice creative problem-solving, teamwork, and visual storytelling as they brainstorm ideas, refine their animations, and respond to feedback. They’ll experiment with different animation styles and techniques while collaborating on a shared concept, connecting individual animated segments into a cohesive, exquisite corpse–style music video.
By the end of the camp, participants create a fully developed animated music video to share with friends and family. No prior animation experience is required—just curiosity, creativity, and a love of music and visual storytelling.
