They will let their imaginations run wild as they put their skills to the test and learn the various ways art can feed the body and the mind!

Green Screen Movie Production (Entering Grades 4^th to 8^th) (CLOSED)

Green Screen Movie Production dates back to the 1900s and is formally known as “chroma keying”. In Green Screen filming, the foreground of the movie is filmed separately from the technology and special effects used in the background. During this camp, students will learn to use the technology behind the magic of the Green Screen, write and produce their own Green Screen masterpieces, both as short clips and longer segments. The skills learned in class can be recreated into additional projects at home long after the class is over.
