“The fact is, I'm just crackers about cheese!” - Wallace, Wallace and GromitGive a lump of clay a whole new life! Campers will use clay, wire, and a camera to create their own original stop-motion story. Using their wildest imagination, they’ll build sets and props, create their own characters, and animate them—all while learning the basics of storyboarding and hand animation. In this crafty camp, campers will leave with a whole new sense of wonder and their own stop-motion animated short film.Software: Procreate, Stop Motion Studio
