Sketching Stories. June 8-12.
Sometimes drawings can tell us a lot more about what’s going to happen on a movie screen than words can. Come join us this week as we learn about what a film looks like before it’s finished. From character designs to screenplays, explore how a film scene is developed and use the process of storyboarding as a vehicle to convey your ideas. If you’re hoping to learn more about the connection between written and visual worlds, this is the camp for you!
