Make movies instead of watching them this summer! Go from “Action” to “That’s a Wrap!” as you work in groups to storyboard, shoot, and add voice-overs to a live-action and/or stop-motion movie. AM Animation Flix: Create up to five stop-motion movies using a different medium each day in this fast-paced class. Animate rubber ducks and anime-inspired characters, use green screen effects, and more. PM Minecraft Movie Flix: You’ll write, storyboard, create sets out of construction paper, build Minecraft blocks, film, animate some cool effects, and do voice-overs to bring Steve, the creepers, and more to life. Note: Flix emailed within a month after the program ends.

Unleash your creativity by building worlds and bringing your ideas (and your toys) to life frame by frame through the art of stop motion animation. From conceptualization to execution, you will write, storyboard, direct, photograph, and animate a mini movie using Stop Motion Studio. End the week with a screening of the movies we make.
