The Making of Animated Films (Virtual)

Did you know it takes THOUSANDS of artists to make a full-length animated film? Each artist brings their unique skills and abilities to the film project to make an animated movie. This workshop shows you the process, creativity, and collaboration that goes into an animated film from the idea for the movie to the final film. This is an engaging workshop for students to see behind the animation!

What to Expect in a Workshop

Each one-hour workshop is a combination of lectures and hands-on activities. It is recommended no more than one class per reservation to get the full benefits of a workshop, unless you have less than 15 students per class.

If you want your entire grade level to participate in a workshop or you have any questions about the workshops, dates, and times they are available, please contact the Education department at edu@utahfilmcenter.org.
