Animated Pre-Production Team

Join the creative launchpad for an original animated short film headed for the 2026 festival circuit! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll become part of the Pretend Productions Pre-Production Team at Locust Street Art. Collaborate with fellow artists to bring ideas to life—developing original character designs, crafting a complete storyboard, and producing a storyreel with synchronized audio. Whether you're passionate about storytelling, design, or animation planning, this is your chance to shape the foundation of an animated film.
