an experiential journey into cinema special effects
Instructors: Stavros Rompotis – Solonas Baxevanakis
It’s an activity where children come into contact with the special effects of cinema from a key role, as they actively participate in the creation of a five-minute short film. In a specially designed studio equipped with cameras, lights, motion sensors, and a special background for creating special effects (greenscreen), the children are "transported" in real time to different environments, with computers that use sophisticated software, and experience the magic of the cinema effects, gaining a unique and unforgettable experience!
