2025 Fun with Animation!

Workshops:

We’ve invested in our very own Gif-O-Graf work-stations and have expanded our workshop opportunities. Our Gif-O-Graf’s combine pro-grade animation equipment with easy to use functions so anyone can create top notch original movies and gifs. Our educator-led workshops will lead kids through the fundamentals of stop motion animation techniques, storyboarding concepts, creating movement and action, utilizing scale and perspective, constructing unique characters and finally bringing their ideas to life in an animation of their very own!

Recommended for ages 7 – 12-ish

Curious Characters
