This May, the HECC Youth Center held the Spring 2017 BIGshowcase in the Clubhouse– an open house for youth in programs to present their innovative art, technology, and leadership skills.
Their technology prowess is astounding. At the showcase, youth explained how to use traditional stop motion combined with modern special VFX (visual effects) software to create an excellent short movie. They also organized and hosted a Street Fighter V tournament in the Stream Station (in the basement of the Clubhouse), recorded the games, and broadcasted them for fans.
Check out the 3-D printer that youth use to create objects for filmmaking:
