Dive into the wonderful world of stop motion animation in this three-day camp designed just for kids ages 8-10! Animator Andrés Eduardo will guide campers through the foundational skills they need to make stop motion animated films.

Throughout the camp, they’ll practice telling stories and use storyboards to plan projects. Campers will experiment with techniques and materials like armatures, clay, felt, and cut paper, and use everyday objects to make their wildest ideas come to life. They will design characters, build sets, and use iPads to animate their awesome creations.

Campers will develop creativity and problem-solving skills through teamwork and experimentation. From flip books to pixilation masterpieces, participants will create a variety of animations to share in a showcase for friends and family.
