The Virtual Movie Studio

Simply make 3d animated movies on your school computer

The software is energising students in schools of all levels across the world, as a fast, fun and flexible cross-curriculum film-making tool.It is relevant to a wide variety of subjects, from languages and literature to science, music and media studies.

"I created a video where a character was presenting the topic in front of relevant images and played that to the classroom. I could just as easily have done that in real life but somehow being on film meant that the content engaged the kids completely in a way that a simple classroom presentation couldn’t have done."

 Moviestorm helps you make learning more enjoyable and productive for your students.

"Some of my students are now working their lunch breaks because they're so inspired!"

Help your students to develop modern communication skills, express themselves in new ways, improve their media literacy, hone career skills - and have fun doing it!

Film schools and media courses

Moviestorm will empower your students like no other tool. They will be able to visualise their scripts and shoot complex scenes that would have been impossible without budget, crew or cast. They can be the whole film crew and develop their personal film making skills, whilst pre-vizualising their script will lead to cost savings in both production and pre-production.
