Stop+Animation

=Stop Animation =


 * Groups of 3-4
 * Brainstorm ideas for stop animation
 * Discuss materials that may be needed to create a stop animation movie. (characters, backgrounds, dialogue, sets, music, computers for editing, script, sound effects, digital cameras)
 * Use a digital still camera to take a photo of your object(s) frame-by-frame. Take one picture, move the object a tiny bit, take another picture, repeat this process.
 * Once all the pieces are filmed, import your images onto a computer with digital video editing software.
 * Assemble the images into the appropriate order, deleting any unneeded shots.
 * Add any necessary music, transitions, titles, or other effects.
 * Share and discuss with the class. What did you learn? What would you do differently?
