Aug 22 – 26 ~ Card Artist

This is going to be super exciting. I cant even wait for this session to start. Perhaps you have played games like Magic, the Gathering or Pokemon and love collectable cards. Or maybe you have an interest in Oracle cards or Tarot. This special workshop is going to guide you through producing your own creative card game project. We will start out learning our creative production processes and tools we need to make our magic cards. Research and study of existing frameworks that are used in other games or oracle decks including symbolism and narrative. Our final goal will be to complete a few finished cards and provide the students with the skills to keep developing and growing their decks. Students will print and Laminate up to 3 finished artwork cards..

Aug 8 – 12 ~ iPad Fairytale Animatic

You love animation right. Maybe when you grow up you want to work in Disney or Pixar. In this workshop you will learn one key step in making animations, the animatic. An animatic is made up of a sequence of still images timed to voice over and music (if you’re using them). Some animatics use rough sketches of the key frames of the sequence, scratch VO, and watermarked music. On the other end of the spectrum, some animatics use polished drawings, final VO, licensed music, and even a bit of basic movements like push-ins and wipes.In this workshop we will explore and produce our own animatics so you will have no problem showing someone that amazing idea you had for a movie.

Students must have their own iPad with Procreate in order to attend this workshop. 

A video editing app is also recommended.. iMovie or similar..
