Scholarship Information and Application

IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT. Campers will use state-of-the-art software Dragonframe and Canon DSLR cameras to bring their wildest ideas to life, practice essential techniques, watch and dissect amazing shorts from groundbreaking artists, and channel their creativity through stop-motion animation.

By engaging in short skill-building challenges, campers will bolster their animating abilities as they experiment with various materials like clay, cut paper, found objects, and even oneself! By the end, campers will apply their new knowledge to craft their own stories and create an animated scene as their capstone project.
