🎃Halloween Stop Motion🎃
Day 2 - LAST DAY
I can create a Halloween-themed stop motion animation using Google Slides by sequencing images to tell a story.
Standard: Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats, and digital media appropriate to their goals.
Stop Motion – A technique where objects are moved in small increments between individually photographed frames to create the illusion of movement when the frames are played in sequence.
Frame – A single image or slide in a sequence that makes up part of the animation.
Sequence – The order in which frames or images are arranged to tell a story or show movement.
Continue working on your stop motion project. This is your last day to complete your project!
Halloween Stop Motion Project Directions
Goal:
Create a Halloween story using Google Slides with at least 50 slides. Animate one object that moves or changes throughout your story to bring it to life!
Step 1. Decide what type of animation you would like to create based on the background scenes and available objects. The animation will tell a very short story! Some ideas are:
A ghost flying through objects
A witch on a flying adventure
A jack-o-lantern boy meeting a witch
An animal stealing all the candy
Flickering lights at a haunted house
What really happens on Halloween night
What animals like to do on Halloween
Step 2. Pick the backdrop from the Backdrops section that you want to use and move it to the end of this slide presentation. Right click on the slide on the left and choose “Move slide to end.” This will be the first slide of your animation.
Step 3. Use the characters and objects provided, create your own, or use Insert → Image → Search the web to find the objects you need for your scene, whether they are static (not moving) or animated. Copy and paste the objects to the background slide.
Step 4. Include optional enhancements to the stop motion animation:
Add multiple animated elements at the same time.
Add other static (not moving) or animated components to the slide, such as a moon, a haunted house, a piece of candy, etc.
Add text to the animation. To make the text animated, add just one letter at a time (one per slide):
