Video for Kids! and Mapmaking

January 9, 2019 | Posted in Uncategorized | By

This Saturday! Video for Kids! Your child and you will take a guided hike out in nature and learn to make a movie about your explorations! Bring your cell phone, but there will be a couple of cameras available for people without video capability. We start with a brief explanation of video making, and then head out to take specific types of shots that the guide will tell you about. Afterwards there will be a demonstration on how to cut the footage into a short film. One Hour. Ages 6 and up.

Offered for children and adults at 10:30, 1:00, and 2:45 Adults without children are also welcome. Center admission $7 per person. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Mapmaking from Project Calm… We’re using Calm magazine as our inspiration for making art maps. A perfect companion to Video for Kids!, because you can create a bird’s eye view of what you saw ground-level while you made your video.
