After 3 years of teaching in Chicago, I am proud to propose a comprehensive animation workshop for upper school students (Grades 9th-12th).
The goal of this workshop is to make a collective short film within 5 classes. Students will write a story, create 3D characters, 3D sets, animate, record voices/sound effects and learn how to submit their short film to a film festival.
The curriculum is articulated around the free 3D software Blender (blender.org) and was inspired by project based learning : acquiring knowledge through an active production within a dynamic environment. Students will be given creative freedom, lead on the art direction and will face the challenge of working within a team while carrying the responsibility to deliver their animated sequence to complete the film.
This workshop is particularly suited for students who want a first approach to the world of filmmaking, animation and video game development in a learning environment where their voice matters.

Maxime's 3D animation workshop :
Class 1 : Let's write a story ! (Storytelling+Storyboarding)
Class 2 : Where are we ? (Environmental design)
Class 3 : Who's here ? (Character modeling)
Class 4 : Let's animate ! (Rigging+Keyframing+MotionCapture)
Class 5 : How does it sound ? (Sound mixing)
+ Where does it go ? (Distribution)
Highlights :
• Making a short film within 5 classes (10 hours).
• Getting familiar with essential industry skills.
• Collaborating on the art direction, learning through technical demonstrations and games, working in autonomy on sequences.
• Sharing the creation through student film festivals.
