Legos are fun toys that have been around for decades. Made of sturdy plastic, they are versatile in how you can arrange them, build them, and use them. On top of being a very fun building material, they can be used to human sized furniture, rubber/mold creation, water diversion, and more fun things! We all know of the lego movie, but before that, people have been using lego to make stop motion animations, and using technic legos to make moving and animated pieces. We'll be using a program named Blender to do just that, create animation.
This is a great camp for a beginner or one that has gone through our previous year's computer based camps. Topics include rendering, modeling, sculpting, animation and rigging, VFX, simulation and much much more!
Registration will close one week prior to the start of the workshop to prep all materials. A detailed email will specifics will be emailed to each registered participant spelling out details for the workshop. Please check your email for details! Minimum age requirement is 8 years of age.
