WHAT IS STOP MOTION?
A kind of animation using photographs
Still pictures are pieced together and flipped through rapidly to give the illusion of a movement or time passing, creating a movie.
The object is moved in small increments for each photographed frame, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence.
Characters and objects can be made of a variety of movable materials across backgrounds and sets or stages
Small action sequence
An adventure tale
Re-telling or re-create a familiar story
Make a “how-to”
A timelapse

TERMINOLOGY FOR STOP MOTION
Frame – a single photograph
Frames per second – how many photographs, when grouped with the rest of the photos, are seen in a second
More frames per second = faster
Less frames per second = slower
Ghost image – a faint image of the picture you just took will appear in iMotion so that you may line up your new photo so that your character or set has moved slightly from the image before…what is seen as the ghost image

The simpler the idea the better
You will be deciding how to communicate an idea about color theory
Color mixing, color families, color vocabulary
Consider materials that can be found in the art room for your set and props – you are welcome to bring items from home
Things to consider:
Think of a small action sequence - An adventure tale - Re-telling or re-create a familiar story - Make a “how-to”- A timelapse
JOBS:
You will all take part in drafting the story, and building sets and characters
On the shooting days you will each perform all of the rolls within this process:
Photographer
Mover
Storyteller/timekeeper
TOP TIPS:
Keep your story short but interesting
Quality made sets and backgrounds = better movie
Smaller movements and more frames = better movie, less choppy
(at least 50 frames – 300-500 = great movie)
