Location: Water Street Studio | 121 East Water Street, Charlottesville, VA, 22902

Description:

Stop motion is 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, this is the workshop for them!

Students learn how to design miniature sets, create characters, record audio, and use editing to bring their stories to life. Each small group will complete a short animated film over the course of the week!

Rising 7th-12th graders can work towards the Light House Achievement Award by completing programs in three different categories. This workshop counts as one Core Filmmaking credit. Visit lighthousestudio.org/achievement-award for more information.

Last year's middle school stop motion film Rats of the Sewer has been selected for three 2025 national film festivals!
