Loud Cloud Animation Lab
A 2-day hands-on stop-motion workshop for kids
A small, in-studio stop-motion workshop where kids learn how movies are made — by making one themselves.
In this hands-on stop-motion workshop, kids step inside a real animation studio and create their very own short stop-animation clip — from characters to final scene!
2 days | Late elementary to high school | $235
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 in late elementary through high school. It’s perfect for young creators who love to build, imagine, and bring stories to life.
Over two fun-filled sessions, 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.

-
No — the workshop is designed for beginners.
-
Yes. Every student leaves with a short animated clip they created.
-
This is designed as a drop-off workshop, but parents are welcome to briefly see the studio during drop-off and pick-up.
-
The workshop is structured so every student completes a short clip, even if it’s just a few seconds long.
-
Because this is a two-part build-and-animate process, attendance at both sessions is strongly recommended.
