Class Experience

Minecraft may have started out as just a game, but it has become much more than that!  Minecraft has become a such a cultural phenomenon that its creator Markus “Notch” Persson was rated the second most influential person in the world by Time Magazine readers in 2012.  It has turned into a software platform used heavily in education to teach physics and computer science, as well as to create art installations, 3D printed objects and, of course, machinema!  

In this class, students will learn how to create 3D worlds and objects in Minecraft and export them to 3D software where they can render 3D movies.  

Also students will learn the basics of 3D computer animation in Blender!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Conor MacFinn is an American/ Canadian filmmaker / animator / UX designer whose animated shorts have been distributed by Tribal TV on Hulu, AOL On, Roku and Amazon and have won awards, been nominated, and screened at over 40 festivals internationally. His animated storytelling mobile media was twice selected for SIGGRAPH’s Appy Hour showcase of creativity and innovation and distributed through iTunes. Other 3D character animation credits include The Museum of the Dog in New York City, Pearson, and Behrman House. Conor was honored that his trilogy of shorts inspired by his Native heritage was invited to show at Mní Wičhóni Nakíčižiŋ Owáyawa (Defenders of the Sacred Water School) at The Water Protector's Camp in Standing Rock, North Dakota. He is a 2019 New York State Council on the Arts Arts Alive grantee and received a 2020 Artist’s Support Fund grant.

Conor’s credits as a teaching artist include seven years as a college instructor, and over 10 years teaching Storyboarding and Storytelling, Scratch and basic programming and animation in person and online to kids in grades 3 – 12.  Additionally, he has worked remotely with teenagers teaching animation and storytelling for film and animation.  As an Art School Portfolio coach, he’s successfully mentored students in crafting their submissions, resulting in his students’ admissions to Pratt (scholarship), Parsons, FIT and other competitive schools.  He enjoys meeting students where they are and guiding their unique expression through art and programming.

When Conor isn't working on his animation or teaching you can see him playing guitar or playing with his dog!
