Camp Breakdown

Day 1 - Principles of Animation

They will end their day by designing their own characters and bringing them to life through simple movements and animations.

Day 2 - Storyboarding and Superpowers

Day 2 allows students to flex their creativity with freeform animations. Working in pairs, they will capture themselves on film, and transform their actions into unique superpower animations with sound effects. Lastly, they will dive into the art of storyboarding, and create their final video to be showcased at Oscars the next day.
