Filmmakers have always been trying to make impossible realities come to life. Whether it’s spaceships, strange creatures, other worlds, or impossible feats, where there’s a will, there’s a way! In this camp, you will explore the world of visual effects by learning how to create and record physical and digital effects from the big screen.

What to expect:
🚀 Dive into the world of green screens and CGI,
💥 Learn the basics of Adobe After Effects, 
🎬 Explore classic and modern examples of special effects in film,
🎨 Try your hand at practical effects techniques,
🎥 Collaborate with other campers to complete a film and watch it on the big screen!   

Camp Preparation & Safety

• All technologies and supplies are included in the camp cost and provided.
• Snacks will be provided, and campers will be asked to bring a sack lunch.
• We will practice physical distancing, masking, and health screening according to city and state guidelines at the time of the camp. We anticipate this will include masking and physical distancing in the camp space.
• While filmmaking is a highly collaborative art form, using shared equipment, this camp is designed to allow for more space and individual equipment for each camper. Each camper will get to work on designing and making their own creations, in a large collaborative space, just like a special effects shop for the big screen!
