DIGITAL ANIMATION CAMP
DIGITAL ANIMATION CAMP
Step into the magical world of Digital 2D Animation!
In this hands-on animation camp, youth students will embark on a creative journey, honing their animation skills to bring characters and imaginative worlds to life. Students will learn key techniques in digital animation, including timing, spacing, character design and the art of squash and stretch and more!
They’ll practice these techniques to transform their ideas into animated stories, exploring the workflow of real animation studios. As a grand finale, students will compile a highlights reel of all their animations, complete with music or voiceover, showcasing their work created throughout the week.
SCREENING SHOWCASE: All animations will debut at an end-of-camp screening with complimentary food & drink for family & friends. We’ll also feature all work completed in 2025 Summer Camp at an official showcase at Alamo Drafthouse in August 2025.
No prior animation experience is necessary, but familiarity with basic computer skills is essential, as this is a tech art experience. We highly recommend tailoring this camp towards individuals with an interest in drawing, as working with a Wacom tablet and stylus tends to be more accessible for those who engage in drawing for enjoyment.
