For the first time ever, Augusta University’s animation program hosted two week-long camps for 30 high schoolers this summer to engage them in the growing industry and learn the basics of creating a dynamic story. Encouraging campers to turn ideas into action, AU’s Director of the Animation Program A.B. Osborne said participating campers were introduced to the secrets of animation from experienced instructors while creating their own simple story and an animated video. “I think a lot of people think they know what animation is, but trying it out for yourself is a lot of fun,” he said. “This is definitely a skill, because it’s a lot of labor, a lot of work … and it takes a while to get good at it.”

Georgia is a hub for animation in the film and entertainment industry, which is why the animation program at Augusta University has grown exponentially. It started off small but now has more than 100 students. Now, Augusta University is opening its doors to high school students to show them what the animation program is like. Students are going to step into another world with the Augusta University animation summer camp. “They’re going to get the pose the character, make it move, model the character and then they’re going to set up lights and go through this process called rendering to make it look really cool at the end of it,” said Animation Director A.B. Osborne. “They want to nerd out, and they want to figure out how to do that for a living. Then, they hear the word starving artists, but animation is a big multibillion-dollar industry. So, once they start to figure that out, they often find that this program is a great fit for them.” The program focuses on many preparing students for careers in many fields, not just film and entertainment.
