Ever wanted to make your own animated characters? Fire up your imagination and get ready
to create characters and imagery in mixedand digital media. This workshop teaches the
basics of animation: capturing images and
manipulating them on the computer. We bring
your characters to life as we work with mixed
media and digital media to produce both visionary and cutting edge work.
Sharks and whales and seahorses, oh my! How
many kinds of sharks are there? Do fish really
sleep with their eyes open? Let’s dive deep to
discover the underwater sea world. We create
ocean creatures based on the real deal, like a
giant, stuffed blue whale made from recycled
paper, and a dainty, delicate seahorse complete with sand and shells from the ocean. We
also come up with our own creations, such as
mermaids and Loch Ness monsters. By week’s
end, our art studio will be transformed into a
beautiful underwater land.
Create stories through video, bringing ideas to
life with digital video cameras, digital editing
and your own creativity! Working together, we
make an adventure movie starring students as
actors and directors. Bring your ideas, a knack
for adventure and a willingness to learn about
the art of video production, storytelling and
putting your ideas on the big screen.

Adventures in Filmmaking
Digital video cameras (bring your own if you

and Apple computers are provided. Camera
techniques include transitions, continuity, and
composition. The class explores techniques in
storytelling, role playing, and directing as well.
This workshop introduces kids to a world of
video making. The days start with a “production schedule” consisting of set-ups, rehearsals, shoots, retakes and dailies. After filming is
complete, teams assemble the movies through
video editing. The completed film production
will be available at the end of the workshop.
