OMSI Animation Class

Bring images to life! We'll learn the expressive medium of animation as we investigate stop-motion techniques and motion picture perspectives using digital video cameras, clay sculptures, drawn characters, cutout scenes, found objects, and time-lapse portraits. We'll develop ideas, design storyboards, create sets and characters, and produce mini-movies to take home on DVD. We'll study the animated world of nature and illusion at 24 frames per second and produce "come-alive" imagery. Animation is a great example of how math, science, and the creative arts can be brought together in extraordinary ways.

Note: A lab fee of $25 per child is included in the price of this class.
