Virtual Summer Camp - Making the Impossible: Special Effects - August 10-14 (ages 8-12)
Filmmakers have always been trying to make impossible realities come to life. Whether it's spaceships, strange creatures, other worlds, or impossible feats, where there's a will, there's a way! In this camp, you will explore the world of visual effects by learning how to create and record physical and digital effects from classic films. Special effects artists are constantly inventing and trying new things. You'll make short videos and try out different effects and trick shots to create movie magic.
What technology and supplies are needed to participate?
1. Each camper will need access to a mobile device, such as an iPad, or smartphone that can record video, or another type of digital camera and a PC or mac. Well cover free app options for recording and editing before the camp to make sure you're set up for success. If you would like to take the camp, but do not have a computer or device, email jonah@nwfilmforum.org for options.
2. Participants will need to use the free Zoom cloud-based video conferencing service via a device or computer. Zoom meeting details will be sent to all participants a few days prior to the camp start date. Click here for a tutorial on how to join a Zoom meeting.

- From 11am-12pm, and 1pm-2pm campers can schedule an optional 15 minute zoom or phone call for additional support or help with their projects.
