Build. Animate. Tell a Story.

What Is Loud Cloud Animation Lab?

Loud Cloud Animation Lab is a small, beginner-friendly stop-motion workshop for kids 10–19 years old. It’s perfect for young creators who love to build, imagine, and bring stories to life.

Kids step inside a real animation studio, learn how stop animation is made using the same techniques professionals use, and create their very own short stop-animation clip. They’ll design characters, build miniature sets, animate a short scene, and walk away with a finished piece they made themselves.

No experience is required — just curiosity, patience, and a willingness to try.

What Your Child Will Learn

Your child will get a hands-on introduction to stop animation and storytelling, learning how to:

  • Bring characters to life with movement, timing, and patience

  • Tell a story visually with simple story beats

  • Build their own characters and miniature sets

  • Animate using a phone or tablet

  • Make creative choices that shape a finished scene

  • Develop problem-solving skills, focus, and creative confidence

This class is about exploring creativity and making something from scratch, not chasing perfection.

Every student leaves with a project they can be proud of — a one-of-a-kind creation they made themselves.

What They’ll Make

  • A short stop-animation clip (10-30 seconds) all their own

  • A real understanding of how stop animation comes together

  • A finished piece to proudly share with family and friends

What’s Included

  • All materials for building characters, sets, or props (depending on the day’s focus)

  • Studio tools and animation rigs

  • Hands-on instruction from working animators and fabricators

  • Guided animation time

  • A finished animated clip to take home

Optional Take-Home Starter Kit (Add-On)
