Filmmaker is a must for film and media students looking to explore their ideas and expand their portfolio, as well as the ideal filmmaking solution for teachers seeking blended learning tools.
Filmmaker is both a fun filmmaking tool for students of all ages and abilities to create compelling presentations and entertaining 'stories' of their learning, as well as a fast tool for teachers to create video lectures that supporting flipped and blended learning strategies across the curriculum.
Faster than stop-motion, and without the logistical needs of traditional filmmaking, teachers young and old, and of all technical ability, are already using Filmmaker as a tool to flip their classroom that delivers customised and personalised learning.
Students can work alone or in teams, and are creating individual interpretations of their subject learning, using the language of the YouTube generation.
Built on game engine technology and combined with a simple click and explore UI, Filmmaker is an ideal 'sketch tool' to rough out film ideas as animated storyboards, providing a fun and low cost alternative to other time-consuming film production solutions.
From previs, testing screenplays and pitching your ideas, through to making finished feature films with zero budget, it is an indispensable tool for saving time and money, and perfecting your filmmaking art.
Work alone or in teams, making films and modding content, post your finished movies online and start a buzz. Filmmaker users have won awards and had their movies shown in prestigious film festivals around the world.

“My students are already discovering new ways to utilise Filmmaker for class assignments, choosing this over other presentation styles. Who wouldn’t want a fully made animated movie to communicate your understanding of a subject?”

Filmmaker is being used by teachers across the curriculum, as a simple tool for engaging students, and by students as means of expressing themselves without distracting from their core learning.
