SUMMARY:Animation Summer Camp Series presented by Comcast
DESCRIPTION:Creating an animation is a long and complicated process that requires several techniques and many different animators working on a single project. In order to bring the animation process to the scale of our summer camp\, we are dividing the animation process into three sections: Writing and Boarding\, Key Animation\, and Ink & Paint. By the end of these three camps\, campers will have collaborated with one another and the animation expert instructors to create a single\, 30-second animation. While this may seem like an incredibly short project for three weeks of hard work\, it shows the reality of how complex the editing process is. Sign up for any one of the phases of animation\, or sign up for all three camps to get a full picture of how animation works. \nAt the end of the summer\, we will host all campers at the Script to Screen Film Festival\, where all stages of the animation process will be screened for campers and families to see how it all comes together. \nSAVE ON MULTIPLE CAMPS\n\n2 Camps – 5% discount\n3 Camps – 10% discount\n4 Camps – 15% discount\n\nMust be purchased at the same time\, discount will appear in cart \n
