Animate your imagination! You create characters—using materials from LEGOs to Hot Wheels, action figures to stuffed animals, clay, found objects, even wood, stone, and metal—and our experienced filmmakers will help you get them moving. Learn the science of freeze frame filming and the art of shot choice, camera angles, believable dialogue, brisk plotting, and set design. Tell your story, one frame at a time.
