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..

Aug 8 – 12 ~ Smartphone Video

Recording video with your smartphone is more complicated than just avoiding Vertical Video Syndrome. In this camp we will start the course with basic, storytelling. Students will then work together to shoot, act and edit their own productions. Students will explore creative filming styles, including time-lapse, stop motion as well as green screen. Editing Apps will be introduced for editing and digital effects.

Students will get plenty of hands-on experience and practical film knowledge, through working both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. It’s also a great chance to improve teamwork and communication skills.

Campers MUST bring a Smartphone(iOS or Android operating system) or iPad with video recording function. Please also make sure that the device is able to download apps for educational purpose. Wifi will be provided in the studio.

Art is a spiral shaped pathway. Returning students are welcomed back as the learning process requires every artist to visit creative fundamentals many times in order to grow their skills. Mastery is accomplished through repetition and discipline. At JR Art Lab we aim to create diversity of subject matter to make learning more exciting and engaging. Looking at the fundamentals from this new perspective may just do the trick.
