[Report] Summer Camp Has Successfully Concluded!

This year's summer camp has come to a successful close!
Before we knew it, this was already our 12th year.

—————- [
University of Tokyo Summer Camp 2014: Clay Animation Master Class]: A message from the instructor. Three very, very
hot days have come to an end!

After spending the second day shooting—during which we also meticulously crafted the animation backgrounds—
we spent the third day recording the narration and the characters’ lines.

Every group was completely engrossed in the process of recording the audio in sync with the animation, checking each take as they went.

Once we’d added background music and sound effects and finished editing the videos, the screening finally took place in the afternoon!
Each group introduced the highlights of their animations,
and the children’s families joined them in watching the films. There were
bursts of laughter, and we could hear exclamations of surprise like “Wow!”

Each group’s work had its own unique character and ingenuity, and the entire collection was a series of masterpieces—

we staff members were truly moved. The expressions on everyone’s faces as they received their certificates seemed a little shy, yet very proud,
and I think that showed just how fulfilling these past three days had been.

To everyone in the Master Class: Thank you for your wonderful work!
