2D Animation
In this camp you will write, animate and edit 30 - 60 second animated film using industry standard photo-editing, graphic and animation software with voice over and lip-synch. At the end of the camp you carry copies of your work home. Your film is screened at the Design Expo in fall.
During the camp you get deeply involved with the animation process; you use principles such shape, form, weight, squash and stretch, depth and volume, overlap and follow through, timing, action, anticipation and simplification in making your film; you apply character and background design techniques to your film; you create story boards and apply animation techniques such as tweening, morphing, onion skinning and roto-scoping with the use of cutting edge animation and photo-editing software. You create sound effects; apply lip-synch techniques and embed dialogue into your film.
- This camp is most suitable for age 11+ innovators and wizards interested in extending the boundaries of creative communication.
- No prior animation experience is necessary, art and/or computer experience is helpful.
- Apart from the core program, the camp day plan is well rounded and includes many warm ups, energizers, team builders and creativity contests during the camp day to win friends and cool prizes.
- 6 to 12 participants per camp.
