Six Pixels Studios is the franchise of Florida Film Academy created to ensure as many children as possible have access to their programs. Its classes in Movie Making, Stop Motion, YouTube, Animation Art, Coding, and Photography use a STEAM-enriched, story-centric curriculum. The program is developed to embrace the whole child, merging STEAM with a curriculum that keeps students challenged, active, and engaged. In the Make a Movie program, students learn to create stories, direct, run camera and sound, and edit their own work. Photography classes focus on telling stories through the lens and turning student work into a keepsake book. The Stop Motion program includes character and story creation, camera and editing skills, and develops patience along with time and project management. You Studios classes cover understanding the world of an influencer, branding, producing short bursts of video, marketing, streamlining a channel, and understanding the business side of YouTube. Animation Art classes teach fundamentals of drawing, color, and design in an interactive STEAM-based program where students create their own comic books, characters, worlds, and stories, using a curriculum designed by expert animator Peter Smith. Disney Codeillusion is an interactive, gamified coding education program where students interact with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Processing featuring original Disney characters and stories.
For birthday parties, Six Pixels Studios provides all the equipment, pizza and drinks, and a special gift for the birthday child, and completed movies are screened on a big screen. Special events include an evening where kids make a movie, have a pizza dinner, and watch their film at the end of the evening. The program states that it helps children explore STEAM in a collaborative, active, and social environment, promoting teamwork, confidence, problem solving skills, and creative thinking.
The leadership team includes Kay Hill as EVP of Programming & Franchise Operations, Stefanie Robinson as EVP Operations, and David Haynes as EVP Creative Media. Combined, the Florida Film Academy team has over four decades of experience in the film and television industry and has produced over 200 television programs and films for major media names including National Geographic, BBC, Fox, Channel 5, Discovery, and Animal Planet, with shows syndicated around the world in outlets such as Netflix, British Airways, and hotel chains. Their professional production work led them into education in 2007 when a local school asked them to mentor a small group of students, which led to the creation of Florida Film Academy.
Kay Hill is a writer, producer, and show runner for many top international TV shows, a Fellow and USA connector for the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce, a Board Advisor for the National Geographic Society’s All Road Film Initiative, a UK School Governor, and a creative consultant and speaker at major industry events worldwide. Stefanie Robinson is a broadcast major and Production Manager for Steel Spyda and has years of educational experience in broadcast and creative writing. David Haynes is a master photographer and cinematographer who has shot many industrial and engineering projects, including the CERN Large Hadron Collider, Ice Hotel, Hoover Dam Bridge, and Spaceport America for National Geographic’s Megastructure Series, and has traveled the world in search of wild events.
The program’s mission statement says it believes that creative thinking gives young people the power to make a difference and that it strives to inspire and promote creative thinking through education, application, and real world opportunities. It states that students are given the tools and skills they need to succeed both now and in the future.
