Description:

School’s out! What’s better than spending your day off at the movies? Spending it making your own movie! This one-day workshop is all about stop motion, an animation technique where objects like clay models or dolls are photographed frame by frame, used in movies like Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

If your student loves building and sculpting and wants to create their own world, they can spend the day bringing a story to life and come home with a short animation to show off.

Lunch, snacks, and popcorn are provided - just bring your imagination!

Take a look behind the scenes of a Light House stop motion animation workshop!

Price: $103.00 Taxes waived

Required age: 7 - 11 years old on the day of the activity

Prerequisites: Pizza will be provided for lunch; students are also welcome to bring a packed lunch.
