Is your child obsessed with making videos for Tik Tok or YouTube?
In Our Increasingly Digitized World, There's A Good Chance That Today's Youthful Passion For Making Movies Could Evolve Into Tomorrow's Career.
But, let's face it: You're simply not equipped to help your child do this well.
It's not your fault!
It's like "new math": if you're over 40 you likely weren't
taught these skills, either.
Imagine what it would be like to watch your child…
Explore their passion with easy-to-follow instructions and clear guidance.
Analyze movies to identify the essential elements that make them work.
Follow the same production process for making movies that the pro's use in Hollywood.
Swell with pride and achivement when sharing their finished movies!

Video Game Designer, Influencer...
All of these Professions (and many more) require the 21st century skill of digital storytelling. This is a foundational program that not only covers the tech skills from filming to editing, and the artistic outlet of creating sets and characters, but also focuses on the craft of telling a compelling story.

This program is perfect for smart kids who:
Love making things with their Tech.
Use an iPad with an app, a smartphone with a stand, or a laptop/Chromebook with a webcam and Google's Stop Motion program.
Love making things with their hands.
Mold characters out of modeling clay or play dough, or build them out of plastic bricks, sticks, paper, or any other crafting supplies.
Are creative.
Build sets and backdrops using trifold presentation boards and craft supplies such as markers, crayons, yarn, cotton balls, tin foil, tape, etc.
Enjoy assembling elements to make a whole.
Bring together characters and sets with narration and sound effects to illustrate a plot and make an actual movie.
Like to make up stories.
Outlandish storylines and out-of-this-world characters are entirely within the possibilities of a stop motion animator.
Can login and watch a brief video lesson, and then follow instructions to complete the activity.
Well, not so much a lesson as an exploration of the production process through watching more than 50 animations made by other kids in Digistars programs! It's a fun and dynamic guided tour through the steps of making a stop motion animation led by a lively mother-daughter team. Basic enough for a first grader to follow, yet sophisticated enough with professional lingo and high production values.

The Search For Fun And Enriching Extra-Curricular Activities Has Become A De-Facto Part Of Parenting...
As a mom of two curious and creative kiddos,
I’ve spent countless hours shuttling kids to and from specialty camps, athletic activities and art programs. When the world shut down, so did so many out-of-school enrichment options to supplement their education.
Especially in the arts and creative uses of tech.
Now all kids can make stop motion animations at home!
I’ve been teaching stop motion animation to elementary and middle school students in schools and camps since 2010. This is a revolutionary approach and changes what we always thought we had to have in a "camp" experience.
