You will work in collaboration with an industry professional from Screen Yorkshire when designing your monsters.

Then you will work on adding special effects to stop the monster and save the city. You will be given a short introduction to editing and will work on developing your tone and stylising your film. The day will end with your film being screened for all to see!
