Creating Media - Stop frame animation
Learners will use a range of techniques to create a stop-frame animation using tablets. Next, they will apply those skills to create a story-based animation. This unit will conclude with learners adding other types of media to their animation, such as music and text.
Lesson 1: Can a picture move?
Lesson 1: Can a picture move?
Children discussed whether they think that a picture can move. They learnt about simple animation techniques and created their own animations in the style of flipbooks (flick books) using sticky notes.

Lesson 2: Frame by Frame
In the previous lesson, children created their own flip book–style animations. In this lesson, they developed this knowledge, and applied it to make a stop-frame animation using a tablet.

Lesson 3: What's the story?
Lesson 3: What's the story?
In this lesson, children were introduced to the job of an animator and started to think like one in planning their creations. They created a storyboard showing the characters, settings and events that they would like to include in their own stop-frame animation next week.
