Winter Break Day Camp: 1-Day - Stop Motion Animation – North York YMCA

Winter Break at the Y! Winter Break at the Y! Daily option allows campers ages 6-12 to attend a single day of camp in the program area that most interests them while building skills, confidence and independence. Delivered in partnership with Film Camp in A Box campers will fill their day with action, adventure and a lot of comedy with Film Camp in A Box. Mentored by master filmmakers, campers will engage in hands-on exploration of the stop motion animation process, including pre production, production and post production. Working in small crews, they will learn about stop motion animation, set design, script writing and editing. Campers will then create their own stop motion animation and movie trailer using our Macbooks, 4K cameras and more. Movies will be presented at the end of the day at our red carpet, popcorn film festival and archived on our digital theatre.
