Digistars Make-a-Movie Workshop Vacation Day camps allow kids in grades 1-8 to envision and create a complete movie in a single day! They work through the production process by imagining a story and mapping it out to be filmed in storyboards. Then they build sets and mold clay figures before shooting and editing their film. It’s inspiring to watch the kids get so involved in their projects while learning concrete skills without realizing it!

Winter Break Day Camps!
Has the unexpected day off from school given you a preview of what two weeks of winter break might look like for antsy kids? Save your sanity and enliven their time off by bringing them to a day of camp at the Digistars Make-a-Movie Workshop!
Choose from stop motion animation (ClaymationTM!) or live action single day camps for kids in grades 1-8 at our new studio in Whittier (just west of the Museum of Science and Nature and the Denver Zoo).
Our trained and talented instructors tailor each session to the interests and experience of the campers so that each and every day of camp brings a new and unique filmmaking adventure. Novice and veteran moviemakers alike nurture their passion for creativity and fun at Digistars moviemaking programs!
Camps run 9 am-5 pm but be sure to arrive at 4:45 pm to watch the day’s creations, like this one completed in a single day over Thanksgiving break.
Stop action motion camps work with clay to create characters and build elaborate sets for their movies while live action camps dive into our costume trunks to accessorize their stories.
There are still a few spots available for winter break day camps — Sign up today and tell your friends!!

Register for Winter Vacation Day Camps!  Zohar works on her claymation film titled “The Show” during a vacation day camp last week. After the great success of our first set of Vacation Day camps at our new studio over Thanksgiving break, we couldn’t be more excited about our upcoming slate of daylong camps planned for the December break! Each of our daylong camps in Claymation and Live Action Filmmaking takes students through the entire filmmaking process from envisioning a story to creating characters, designing sets, acting, filming, and editing it all together. Check out some of the great films we made last week at camp here and here. We have programs for first through eighth graders and fun for all. Sign up soon as spaces are limited! Student Films Posted We have many new student films posted from the fall terms at McAuliffe, Steele, Polaris@Ebert, and Isabella Bird. If you need a reminder of how to download your student’s film, see our About page for instructions. New Studio Location If you’re trying to find our new studio, don’t follow your GPS to our street address of 2040 East 28th Avenue as it may send you too far east. Try entering “28th Avenue and Race Street” for better luck finding our west City Park location. Share the Experience We hope you will share your child’s movies and their experience with your friends and online networks and spread the word about our camps and programs! Click on the YouTube icon on any video to go to the direct link. See you at the movies! |
