Session 1: Character Design

For Students Who Love Drawing and Storytelling
In this hands-on session, you'll explore the world of 2D character design. From sketching your character concepts to creating detailed, dynamic designs, you’ll learn the art of bringing your characters to life on paper (or tablet!). We’ll experiment with different art styles, try out drawing on a Cintiq, and you’ll get a 13 x 19 print of your character!

Monday, June 9 – Friday, June 13

1-5 p.m. daily

Session 2: 3D Modeling

For Students Interested in Videogames and 3D Characters
Have you ever wanted to build your own character in 3D? This session will introduce you to the basics of 3D modeling. You'll create your own characters using industry-standard software. We’ll sculpt and paint a character on Cintiqs, light and render our character, and you’ll get a 13 x 19 print of your character!

Monday, June 23 – Friday, June 27

1-5 p.m. daily

Session 3: Motion Capture & Animation

For Students Who Want to Make Characters Move and Come Alive
Ever wondered how video games and movies make characters move so realistically? In this session, you’ll explore the world of motion capture and animation. You’ll get to see how real-life movement is captured and turned into fluid character animation. You'll also get to animate your own character using motion capture technology and add realistic movement to your designs. At the end of the week, you’ll have your own animated scene to showcase!

Monday, July 14 – Friday, July 18

1-5 p.m. daily

What to Expect

Each session is designed for beginner students with a passion for animation, character creation, and storytelling. Our instructors are experienced animators who will guide you through each step of the creative process. You’ll gain hands-on experience, have fun discussing and watching animation, learn new software, and get a cool deliverable at the end of each camp. 

Friday at 4 p.m. is the Parent Showcase, where family can see the cool things you’ve been up to and we’ll hand out some fun swag!
