Create a short stop motion animation teaches us something. (Example: How to make a PB&J, the water cycle, how a seed germinates and grows into a flower, etc...)
  (No fight scenes, violence or weapons allowed in your animation!)
You may use clay, LEGO®, paper cutouts, toys, drawings, or other classroom materials to create your animation.

Annalise&Addie.movstop motion day 1.MOVVery important tips for making a Stop Motion Animation:
Don't move your camera (iPad). Keep it in the same location at all times and just move your figures. You can zoom in and out with the camera for special effects. You can move your camera if you are changing the perspective of a scene or changing scenes.
It takes A LOT of pictures to make a good Stop Motion Animation. Most movies use 12 or more frames per second of movie! Think about trying to make a very short animation (2-5 minutes).
Plan your short animation on paper before you start.
Teamwork!! One person takes the pictures while the other person moves the figures. Make your movements small to make your movie flow well.
Play back through your pictures each day to see how your movie is looking. Do you need to change the speed, make your movements slower or faster? Are you moving the camera around and it is looking "jumpy"?
