Beginner Level
In this 1-hour Stop Motion Animation Bootcamp, kids will dive into the exciting world of stop-motion animation using just their iPad. They’ll learn how to bring their toys (and any object!) to life through frame-by-frame animation, creating simple movements, and telling a short, fun story. The hands-on class is structured to keep kids engaged and use their creative juices. We’ll start with a brief introduction a stop motion technique, then dive right into animation! Each student will set up their animation station, determine the motion of their toys/objects, adjust them frame by frame, and watch their creations come to life. Whether your child is an aspiring animator or simply loves their LEGOs and figurines, this class will spark their creativity and give them a new way to enjoy digital storytelling!
