Animation Camp (Morning August 4th through August 8th, 2025)

The first film was of a horse galloping. One gentleman had bet another that all four legs of a horse were in the air when they galloped, and they set up a series of cameras to take pictures as the horse galloped by! Moving pictures were around before that in flip books and other short animations, and today there is animation everywhere, from the ad at the bottom of your phone app to the silver screen. In this camp we will learn about the 12 rules of animation, and work on different individual and group projects with computer animation, stop motion animation, and other tricks like persistence of vision and forced perspective. There is plenty to learn, and even more to do in this activity-packed camp!
