Game Producer
Ages 5 - 9
Our Game Producer course is a hybrid of Film and Game Design, geared for our younger students, ages 5 to 9, to better prepare them for our more extensive courses. This course lets students work on pre-built levels, this way students can focus primarily on the coding of their levels while still customizing the various items to make the game their own. This better prepares students interested in PC Game Design but are not old enough to enroll.
Afterwards students then shift gears to scripting a short commercial promoting their game. They are shown how to set up a scene, use our video equipment, and then perform in front of the camera selling their game. Once filming is done, students are taught basic video editing to complete their short commercial. This better prepares students interested in our Film Design courses but are not old enough to enroll.
