This weeklong camp is an introduction to animation through stop motion! While there are many different mediums to animate in, stop motion is one of the most accessible and fun for young artists to get started in. We’ll explore the process behind crafting a compelling story with interesting characters, see how environments can add to the storytelling, understand the visual ‘principles’ that make animation work, and learn how to collaborate with a small group to make one cohesive short film. We’ll also be taking a look at the pipeline of professional work from Pixar, Disney and Laika films, and give campers a better understanding of how films like this get made!
