The various types of workshops generally explore 2D and 3D animation, storytelling, directing, special effects, and video game development. Depending on the workshop chosen, participants can imagine and develop a world, bring characters to life, get a behind-the-scenes look at a film shoot, or design their first video game prototype.
🎨 No prerequisites are needed—just your creativity and your desire to explore the world of animation, film, or video games!
