Description
Are you a fan of Special Effects in movies? Well, you’re in the right place. In this exciting camp, we will teach you all about “Movie Magic” and how to create easy "Hollywood-style" special effects with an HD camera, or by using an apps on a smart device. We'll start the camp by learning about a handful of special effects, then team up with your classmates to create a story where we can include the learned effects, which will culminate in a rip-roaring class film!. Special effects used include: Forced Perspective, "Green Screen" technology, CGI, making characters appear and disappear, etc.! Be a part of movie history! All movies will be available to view and download online.
