    The best camera to shoot video with is the one you always have on you - your phone.

    About this Class

    Learn how to shoot and edit with the one camera everyone has on them all the time - their smartphone. There has never been a better time to be a creator because you literally have a movie studio in your pocket.

    In this camp, we’ll learn different techniques to get professional-looking video out of a mobile device. We will cover lighting, cinematic camera angles, sound, camera movements, basic editing, and more. We will put all of the skills together to replicate a scene from a movie or television show.

          About this Class

          Regardless of background or experience, kids thrive in this imaginative environment where feeling accomplished is as simple as participating and supporting others. While many kids take improv to have fun with their friends, other benefits include boosting self-confidence and strengthening focus - skills that are useful in both improv and in life.

          Each session starts with a few simple warm-ups followed by as many fun games as possible, then a cool down before class ends. Students will have the opportunity to participate in many different types of games such as guessing, advising, scene development, and more.

                Put yourself anywhere in the galaxy with the magic of green screen.

                About this Class

                There’s an extremely good chance a movie you love includes visual effects. One of those visual effects is the use of a green screen to put a character in places that would be almost impossible to without that green screen.

                This will be a fun way to use our imaginations and bring ordinary footage to life. We may even step off this planet and onto another!

                In this camp, you will learn how to light, shoot, edit, and composite (convincingly placing a character in an environment) green screen footage.

                Each student will have a chance to act, light, shoot, edit/composite, and present. Students will work as a crew for each other to accomplish their creations.

                                      About this Class

                                      Animation is one of the oldest forms of visual entertainment. While the tried-and-true methods are amazing, a lot can be done with your smartphone, iPad, or other tablets. In this camp, we will use some of the old techniques on new devices. Don't worry if all you can draw is a stick figure - that can be some of the most inventive animations out there.

                                      Learn the basics of traditional 2D animation, like squash and stretch, pose to pose, keyframing, secondary actions, and more.

                                      We will start with breaking down what makes a great animation, then move on to conceptualizing, storyboarding, drawing, editing, sound design, and exporting.

                                              About this Class

                                              We all love TV, right?! If you've ever wondered how it's done, there's no better way than to actually make a TV episode yourself.
                                              We will pick the genre (sitcom, drama, sci-fi, sketch comedy, etc.), then we will learn how to write a quick script, shoot, direct, act, edit, and view our creation. Everyone will get a chance to touch every aspect of the show.

                                                      Improv is a great exercise for thinking on your feet! Learn the fundamentals in a safe and creative environment.

                                                      About this Class

                                                      Regardless of background or experience, kids thrive in this imaginative environment where feeling accomplished is as simple as participating and supporting others. While many kids take improv to have fun with their friends, other benefits include boosting self-confidence and strengthening focus - skills that are useful in both improv and in life.

                                                      Each session starts with a few simple warm-ups followed by as many fun games as possible, then a cool down before class ends. Students will have the opportunity to participate in many different types of games such as guessing, advising, scene development, and more.

                                                            Stop motion animation is fun and easy. All you need is your imagination and a camera.

                                                            About this Class

                                                            Stop motion dates back more than 125 years. A lot has changed in that time, but what hasn’t is that animators move a character or object one frame at a time to make a scene. That’s exactly what we will be doing in this camp. We will take handmade characters and other everyday objects to make an entertaining scene and put it all together with the help of modern technology that happens to be in everyone’s pockets - their phones.

                                                            We will do the following:

While many kids take improv to have fun with their friends, other benefits include boosting self-confidence and strengthening focus - skills that are useful in both improv and in life.

                                                                                    Each session starts with a few simple warm-ups followed by as many fun games as possible, then a cool down before class ends. Students will have the opportunity to participate in many different types of games such as guessing, advising, scene development, and more.
