Always wanted to be a YouTuber and have 10,000+ followers? Want to take your videos to the next level by learning from professional filmmakers?

From how-to videos, product reviews, and cooking shows, to tv series, news broadcasts, and gamer videos, the CK team will teach your child the tools necessary to create content for their favorite social platforms. Professional teaching artists work closely with your child, building skills to create videos that they care about. We will answer your child’s technical questions one-on-one, and set them up for success on their channel! For those interested, we will cover branding, making your videos searchable, and the steps to gaining thousands of followers. CinemaKidz will also spend a good deal of time discussing online presence, responsibility, privacy concerns, and general safety. A great camp for beginners as well as the more advanced influencer.

Adventures in Animation Gr. 2-7 (week 6)

Come explore various techniques of stop-motion animation in our week long animation-workshop! Campers create abstract and narrative tales with a wide range of materials including: legos, clay, architectural modeling materials, wire, foam, and so much more! Campers build mini-movie sets and learn how to light them, build camera rigs, use gels and create various on-set effects. We encourage children to experiment with different camera angles, add special effects, sounds and music. Children build their own props and use green screens to bring their ideas to life. Combine live action with stop-motion animation to makes something truly unique and special. Kids will complete several projects over the course of the week. This is fantastic class for kids with big imaginations!
