Create a Great Summer Adventure Through Animation

Join new friends and combine your ideas, imagination, and creativity to take on the challenge of making your very first animation.
After learning about stop-motion animation, the fundamentals of animation, sound expression, and the production process, participants will work together using tablets to create an animated work.
In actual animation production, many different staff members and specialists communicate and collaborate to complete a single work.
By experiencing this creative process through a workshop, participants will learn the importance of flexible communication and proactive participation while gaining valuable insights that encourage personal growth and development.
The completed animations will be provided as digital files at a later date, making this workshop an excellent option for a summer vacation independent study project.
