ANIMATE YOUR VISION!
Happy New Year! Animate your wishes and wants, hopes and dreams for 2025. Moonshot Studio is celebrating animation with zoetropes, flip books, and stop motion animation.
Flip Books
Use a storyboard to create the ultimate flip book! Create a mini story and flip through it again and again.
Stop Motion Animation
Create your own movie! Stop motion animation takes pictures of small movements of an object and plays them back at high speed. Lights, camera, action!
Want to settle in and make something?
Many of our projects take 60-90 minutes to complete. These projects are self-guided and self-paced, allowing you to explore a longer artmaking process.
Moonshot Studio staff is available to introduce the projects and to lend a hand when needed.
