At the New York Film Academy’s 3D Animation Camp in Los Angeles, students experience what it’s like to be professional animators. The camp focuses on teaching storytelling, character design, modeling, rigging, and animation using the same software and workflows used by studios worldwide. Each participant learns by doing, completing their own animated projects under the supervision of experienced instructors who work in the film and media industry. Small group sizes ensure that every camper receives personal feedback and guidance throughout the creative process. Campers spend their days in hands-on workshops, collaborating with peers and gaining confidence in their artistic abilities.
The Los Angeles campus setting provides an inspiring environment surrounded by the heart of the entertainment industry. At the end of the session, students showcase their work, sharing their animated creations with classmates and instructors. The experience helps campers develop both technical and storytelling skills that last well beyond the summer. Programs are available in 1-week, 2-week, and 3-week formats, offering flexibility for different levels of experience. Whether attending in person or online, every camper leaves with new skills, friendships, and a deeper appreciation for animation.

This final presentation is a celebrated moment that reflects the effort, teamwork, and imagination of each camper. The program also encourages a spirit of community through group projects and daily creative challenges. The experience leaves campers with both artistic growth and lasting memories of their time in the studio.
The NYFA 3D Animation Camp is built around a project-based learning model that teaches students to create fully animated 3D works from scratch.

Instructors emphasize creativity, problem-solving, and attention to detail, helping each participant develop their artistic style while mastering technical skills. The daily schedule includes lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops designed to balance structured learning with open creative time.
