You’ll learn how to use a mobile device and free apps to create stop motion animations, how to plan a story, and how to add credits and music.

You'll also watch short films from Children’s Film Festival Seattle, and explore the art of animators from around the world, and learn about animation techniques, including:

What technology and supplies are needed for youth to participate?

2. Each camper will need mobile device, such as an iPhone or Android phone, or other tablet with a camera, or another type of digital camera and a PC or mac. We’ll go over how to use the apps, recording, and editing in the camp.
