Young Filmmakers: Create Your Own Movie!
In our Young Filmmakers: Create Your Own Movie! camp, kids will create their own films using iPads and laptops! Over four exciting days, they’ll brainstorm, shoot, and edit their movies while learning storytelling, camera techniques, and editing skills. The camp ends with a special screening of their films!
The camp will be led by Parker Gehring, a director, writer, producer, and editor of the independently produced film Lucy and Whitney. Parker, who holds a BA in Media Arts from Brigham Young University , has a strong background in film theory, leadership, and group organizational skills. He also travels across Utah teaching film workshops for the Utah Film Center and brings his expert knowledge to help students master the filmmaking process.
Due to the Fourth of July holiday, this will be a 4-day week with no camp on July 4.

Animation Creation
Let’s get loopy! This class is designed to teach loop animation, commonly known as GIFs. Kids will learn about the animating process and create characters. Teachers will also help them with editing, rendering and creating an animation file to take home.
2-D Animation for Teens
Students will learn to do basic, hand-drawn 2D animation in this class. Together, we will draw a basic bouncing ball cycle that will be ready for animation. After that concept is taught, students will begin drawing a basic walk cycle using tracing paper. Kylie will help students digitize their animations, and will have the sequence saved on a flash drive. On the last day, students will create mini flip books, and will present their books in class!
