Epic Animations | Stop Motion Techniques for Creators

About the activity:

Unleash your child’s creativity in this dynamic stop-motion animation camp for youth ages 11-14! Led by teaching artist Andrés Eduardo, this week-long experience guides campers through the process of creating their very own animated short. Starting with inspiring examples to spark ideas, campers will brainstorm stories, develop characters, and storyboard their narratives. They’ll experiment with a variety of animation techniques, including paper puppets, clay animation, pixelation, and object manipulation, to bring their visions to life. Along the way, campers will build storytelling, collaboration, and problem-solving skills as they navigate each step of the animation process. The week culminates in a celebratory screening where campers showcase their fully realized animated shorts to family and friends. Perfect for aspiring animators and storytellers, this camp is an exciting journey into the art of stop-motion!
