What is BrickFlicks Academy?

It's a safe, fun place for young animators 8 yrs+ to learn, share, discover and explore their creativity using stop motion animation .

We believe in using materials and technology that can be found around the home and all of our courses and workshops use just a mobile device, a free app and simple materials you have close at hand. We aim to make great animations using simple practices.

It's an environment that has an ever-growing number of self-guided courses for you to start you animating journey

It's a platform where you can build your animation skills with practical & easy to follow video tutorials.

The courses include tons of hands-on activities that engage & inspire. There are monthly competitions to enter & direct feedback from the BrickFlicks animators on how to improve your skills. You can also enjoy live webinars and discounts on all our online camps & workshops.
