Join us this autumn for a unique after school course for kids who love animation and gaming. Develop your animation skills using stop motion and digital techniques. We will be setting projects and tutorials in Procreate and Procreate dreams and you can choose whether you’d like to create animated film sequences or integrate them into a game design using the brilliant visual coding app Hyperpad.

Our courses are aimed at developing creativity and bringing your ideas to life. At Submarine we encourage kids to work with ideas and styles they enjoy, build confidence and make friends in a fun, inclusive and creative environment. Create a film, develop concept art or build your own video game.

This courses will cover.

  • Tutorials in Procreate, Procreate Dreams, Stop Motion Studio and Adobe Premiere Rush
