The Animation Academy explores the unique world of animation, from traditional hand-drawn cels to exciting breakthroughs in stop-motion and CGI. Stage Nine Exhibitions proudly welcomes involvement from major US animation studios.
Visitors can create their own stop-motion animated short, learn about the art of storyboarding, go behind the scenes with artists and animators, and enjoy America’s largest 3D zoetrope.
Each display and interactive activity features the participation of industry leaders, from original hand-drawn cells to real stop-motion maquettes. Click here for a behind-the-scenes in-depth video on the exhibit.
