SUMMARY:Snapology: Animation Studio Class Series
DESCRIPTION:Animation Studio with Snapology (Ages 6-14):\nIn Snapology’s Animation Studio\, students will create fantastic movies with stop motion animation using LEGO® bricks. Children will work in teams under guided instruction to make a digital movie using stop motion techniques. Teams will go through the entire movie making process\, from plot and character planning to editing. The best part is\, their video will be uploaded to Snapology’s YouTube channel\, so they can show friends and family their very own video! \nStudents will gain hands-on experience with computer-based movie-making software\, learning to create\, edit\, and add sounds and music while becoming comfortable navigating computer menus and applications. They will also develop original stories and characters through guided instruction in story and character development\, skills that not only enhance their films but also strengthen their storytelling abilities in the classroom. Just like professional filmmakers\, students practice teamwork by collaborating on group planning\, sharing ideas\, and respecting their partners’ contributions to bring their creative visions to life. \nFour Saturdays in November (1st\, 8th\, 15th\, 22nd). 10:30am-12:00pm \n$150 per participant  \nTo register for this class series\, please click HERE.  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nSnapology is the premier partner for STEAM programs worldwide.
